Backblast 9/19 @theMuttF3Louisville – CI Q’d to Infinity (or 1 😕) #getbetter

QIC: CI (VQ at the Mutt; YHC)

Pax 32 (1 FNG): Waterboy, Francis, Moonlight, Country Boy, The 🔨, Mouth, Zartan, Spinal Tap, Old Bay, Busch, Spreadsheet, Glenn Ross, Juicy, Doubtfire, Kilo, Newman, Zoolander, Digiorno, Kidnapper Van, Happy Fingers, Mad Cow, Rhythm, Tureene, Curly (FNG), Jelly Fingers, Quimby, Backdraft, Wedding Singer, Draper, Tiger, Gepetto, CI

For my first Q at the Mutt, I had a great plan. Lots of work, little rest, each exercise was a hint of the Thang to come. What I didn’t count on is that no one can count to infinity (which is odd since they can count down from 45). But I digress.

COP

50 IC SSH

15 IC Plank Jacks

15 IC Imperial Walkers

15 IC Merkins

The Thang

Mosey over to the main lot

30 sec lateral burpees AMRAP 
15 sec rest

30 sec lateral bear crawl

15 sec rest (Wham! did this at his Q at the O. We watch the same videos on the Twitter). 

Repeato 2 more times

Partner up, two lines

Lunge walk 50 yards. 15 squats with arms held high. Lunge walk 50 more yards (down a decline) to behind the MPB. 

Once there, P1 10 Box Jumps (or steps ups (or if you’re Digiorno and Zartan, box jump to the roof!)) while P2 AMRAP merkins. Switch. Each P does 2 sets of each. Then take off for…

Thang 2- Infinity BLIMPS 

Run to Maryhill for Infinity Blimps. Sprint the figure 8 of Maryhill. At first corner 8 burpees, sprint to next corner, 8 lunges, sprint 8 IWs, sprint 8 merkins, sprint 8 Plank jacks, spring 8 squats. And I said infinity and I said until time is up. To the Pax. 3 times….

So KV (a Boston Marathoner is pacing me, which is more like dragging my a$$ through the neighborhood; dude is fit). And we’re off. Well he’s off and I’m alone but going. And I see the Pax and they’re going. And I think, man these guys are getting strong. Then, I run back around to the farthest point, on my 2nd circuit and round the bend and er uh, WTF why is everyone going back to the school when I’m at the farthest point out? That’s right, those Mutts left me out alone and didn’t go to infinity. THEY WENT AROUND 1 TIME! So I finished, worked off a little anger maybe.  But to their credit (I saw you Zoo), some Mutts Infinity Blimped around the school and others engaged in trust falls and tickle fights. I digress again. That said, here’s a little explainer on ascending counts:

I corralled the Pax for some Mary to finish. 

Molly 15 IC

Rosalitas 15 IC

2 elbow plank holds 45 sec interspersed with calf stretches. 

Finish with 5 burpees OYO

COR, NOR, lots of announcements. #Samstrong is happening 9/21 at Mellow Mushroom. Here’s the info:

Also, there is a bourbon bottle auction with all proceeds raised going to Sam and his family. TClaps to the Pax for both of these events. Get in touch with Digiorno, Zoolander, Zartan or Quimby for more information. 

Saturday is our Convergence at the O. 0700. Were going to start at the basketball courts due to parking limitations. We’ll make annoucements, but keep this in mind. Remember we’re collecting donations for St Johns Men’s Shelter. Here’s a link to the post with the needed items. LINK

Zartan called the six and explained he was almost Topher Brophy (worth linking to see this guy), but instead got a great nickname from YHC because he bailed on his first post despite being there. He saw the work and said F it, faded to black Zartan-style when the going got tough. 

I closed us out humbled. Thanks for letting me lead. And for following me (for the most part). Thanks for being such great leaders and helping to take care of our friends and community. I also mentioned that being a leader requires us to keep the tent over everyone we lead. Here’s a link to where I stole that from. It’s from OBT. And it’s good and right. 

The Pax is getting stronger. In all 3 Fs. Glad I’m part of it, even when I’m by myself doing BLIMPS while the Pax is tickle fighting. 

CI out
