Backblast: Captain brought gifts to the new AO and made the Pax take them home #thebridge #getbetter #coupons #morethanaworkout @Baker_TwoStroke

QIC: Captain Insane-o

Pax (17): Dexter, Forced Close, Methane, Bobross, Glauc, Flea, Tool Time, Diablo, Lil Smokie, Gypsy, Wham!, The Hammer, Double Down, Preacher, Zartan, Rhythm, CI (YHC)

Inspired by my retired Fleet Admiral Insane-o parents — who often bring terrible, loud, heavy or disassembled gifts to the Ensigns (2.0, 2.1 and 2.2) — YHC brought 10 heavy-a$$ coupons (F3 Branded thanks to @Baker_TwoStroke) to the new, fresh, ultra-posh AO at the Parklands and totally left them there for the Pax to sort out…. Here’s what went down.

COP
Circle up near the shovel flag.  I told the Pax I was going to do my best @DreddF3 impersonation with the counts and we’d go fast to get as much in as possible in the 45:

SSH 20 IC
Freddie Mercuries 20 IC
Plank jacks 20 IC
Mountain climbers 15 IC
SSHs 15 IC

The Thang…

Mosey over to the Captain’s boat to unload the coupon cargo.  As we moseyed, we counted off and paired up.  Some of the Pax had never been to the Seneca AO, so they were unfamiliar with coupons.  That changed quickly.

Not so easy run carrying the coupons over to the Egg Lawn.

We lined up, paired up and did a Coupon Bear Crawl relay, with P1 and P2 switching between coupon bear crawl and merkins.  Flutter kicks while you wait.  Then, Zartan said it wasn’t far enough, so YHC doubled the space and we did it again a few more times. Flutter kicks and SSHs while the six (which was YHC; no thanks to Zartan who mistook my cry for help as a manly growl) came in.

The Pax divided into fours and set up a diamond.  5 Burpees at home, when done relieve the AMRAP merkiners at first, who then ran to 2nd with their coupons to relieve the AMRAP air squatters, who took the coupons to 3rd to relieve the LBCers, who took the coupons to home for Burpees and then to 1st to relieve the merkiners.  Repeato a couple of times.

Circle up for some Mary.  All single count:  gas pumps, crunch frog, seat Freddie Mercuries, Fifer Scissors (lots of grunting here).

Circle up with coupons at every other space (or double at one spot cause YHC was Q), for pass the coupon.  Those with a coupon did curls, without did merkins.  After a while switch to coupon swings and air squats (for those in the monthly challenge (got you 30)). Almost time.

The Pax grabbed their coupons and ran back to the shovel flag for the end.

COT and Name-o-rama.  We forgot to have the six say his name; my bad (it was flea, and he got his name because he plays bass and only has one sock).  We forgot to mention the 2nd F Happy Hour today; my bad (it’s today; check Facebook).  We did talk F3 Dads (family day); stay tuned for more.  YHC then told the Pax that our hot branding was too hot to leave the coupons scattered around their lovely park, so they all got a gift.  YHC reminded everyone that no one is perfect and that if the Pax could get up voluntarily on a Wednesday at 0500 to drag a coupon through a wet, muddy field, there’s nothing the day could throw at them they couldn’t overcome.

Tiger VQ at the Temple of Gloom tomorrow Seneca AO.  Bring your jump rope.

CI out.
