Bottlecap and YHC split the Q but neither of us were supposed to be the Q. That guy was sleeping like a baby in his soft, warm bed. No problem. Bottlecap volunteered to take the first 15 minutes and started us with a long opening mosey around the block before some warmup merkins in the parking lot of Vera’s Kitchen. I don’t think we’ve ever done exercises there before but Ice9 has eaten there before and recommends it.
We crossed the street and over to the Waxhaw Creamery. Not inside, mind you, but we did use their nice half walls for some bomb jack box jumps and some derkins. Then we did this crazy exercise called a “Billy Bob Big Boi” or something like that. Imagine a regular Big Boi Sit-up. That’s it. It’s exactly like a regular Big Boi but for some reason Bottlecap decided it needed another name? I dunno. It felt right at the time, I’m sure.
Then we all ran a lap around the railroad tracks and over the bridge. Everyone ran the Australian version except Mad Dog who stuck with the good old American version like a true Marine. (This one’s science joke about the coriolis effect so if you don’t get it that’s alright. It was a bit of a stretch)
A few more exercises that involved more box jumps and Irkins maybe and I don’t really remember because I was trying to see if I could sucker Bottlecap into just Qing the whole thing, especially since he didn’t have his watch and couldn’t tell how long it had been. No dice. He quit at 18 minutes in and it was up to me to finish us out.
A mosey back to COT where I tricked everyone into thinking we were just going to do count-a-rama and head to coffee. Not a chance. We’re just getting started.
What’s better than 4 Corners? Aggressive 4 Corners! 5 Burpees, 10 Mike Tysons, 15 Bobby Hurleys, and 20 (2=1 duh) Speed Skaters. Run back to the church after each corner. Blah blah blah
We threw some Keith Jong Hill in with Bomb Jacks and Diamond Merkins and then with our remaining time we did some 7s with Merkins and Squats.
Thanks to Bottlecap for stepping up to Q the first 15 18.5 minutes on the fly with no prep
Kudos to Schneider for posting after being out sick for the past week. You could tell he was still feeling it but he still got out of bed and pushed himself
Injuries are no fun but they’re almost guaranteed to happen at some point. Mad Dog (plantar fasciitis), Easy Button (vaginitis herniated disc), and Ice9 (old busted hip) threw caution to the wind and crushed another tough Floater workout.
Rain Man was challenged to wear a weighted vest by the Q who was not there. He could have left the vest in his rental car (which looks really weird after seeing RM drive several different large trucks) but he strapped it down tight and proceeded to knock out burpees, Tysons, Bomb Jacks, and everything else like the pro he is.
It’s always a privilege to lead workouts with you all and even better when it’s at the crown jewel of F3 Waxhaw; good ‘ol 87: The Floater
