Showed up at 5:14:30 with a Post-it Note of Pain and the confidence of a man who forgot what a weinke looks like.
The ignition crew blasted off campus like they were being chased by the law, leaving the flash men behind to face whatever the Q could scribble together.
At 5:14:45, the PAX were in. DiCCs were called. Hopes were low. And the Q promised to “pull a rabbit out of his pocket.” Spoiler alert: he did… but it was a winded rabbit.
⸻
The Thang
Mosey to the front of Cuthbertson Middle for a warm-up that mostly doubled as the Q reading his Post-it in the dark.
Warm-Up (ish):
• SSH x who knows
• Jimmy Dugan
• Calf Stretch
• Merkins x a few
• Stretch stare at each other while the Q “plans the next move”
⸻
Partner Up: opposite speed
• 100 Dips
• 100 LBCs
(One works, one heckles runs a lap of the large island. Switch when it hurts.)
⸻
Mosey to
Covered steps
Triple Nickel(ish):
• 5 Big Boys (bottom of stairs)
• 5 Heels to Heaven (top)
• 5 Squats (end of walkway)
Rinse and repeat x3 (or x2 if you’re winded and honest about it).
⸻
Mosey to
Front of HS:
• 50 Step-Ups
• 50 Carolina Dry Docks
Break it up into 25s with a victory lap around the island. Or if you’re the Q damn near wander off the wrong way. (I’m the Q damnit it’s all correct… NOT) Some called it running, others called it active recovery.
⸻
Mosey to
Back of HS:
What was supposed to be 3 rounds of 10 Durkins + 10 Somethings turned into 1 round when the Q’s lungs filed an HR complaint.
⸻
Mosey to the Shed:
Air Presses until you question life choices.
Bear Crawl 3 squares, sprint to the next lamp, repeat all the way back to COT.
⸻
COT:
Return with one minute left → plank until time and reflect on the fact that somehow, it all worked out.
⸻
Name-o-Rama:
FNG Bagpipes officially named after a fierce group debate (Braveheart was an option).
Announcements: Check Slack because no one wrote them down.
Prayers: For Hooch’s daughter.
And to all Qs who think “winging it” counts as strategy.
