A frosty morning indeed (19 F) with five posting for a delayed birthday Q: “Beat It’s 40th Birthday Scrabble.”
There were zero “coming in hot” today per Opus’s stern warning the night before. Beaver from New Kent was actually on site 10 minutes early. We all deserve rounds of applause for waking up 10 minutes earlier to defrost cars, grab extra mittens and make it on time.
After some warm burpees and a mozy, Bulkhead said what we are all thinking :
“Do you guys ever think: What the **** are we doing out here?”
Warmup: Butt kickers, high knees, karaoke, side straddle hops, squats and the soldiers.
Thang 1: Wheel of Musical Fun
One partner runs a lap around the bus loop, while the other follows the Jello Legs directions. A clock is running 1:50 intervals and when the whistle blows, anyone running does 5 burpees on the spot. They are exempt if they beat the time and tag their partner. Soundtrack: Home Alone 2 Music
All was fun and games until Beat It tore his calf muscle out of nowehere on lap 4. Ah — the irony the 40th birthday. Shoulda done more warmups in these temps I guess. Or … blame the Duck Walk.
Thang 2: Scrabble
One partner holds plank position with the Scrabble tray and the other partner runs across the field to the scrabble bucket to grab one random letter. First team to form a 5-letter word gets to take a break (truthfully the team with the most points wins, not the first to finish). However today, there was only one word formed and that would be the word “SCOOT”
Winners: Opus & Bulkhead with “Scoot” – 7 points
COT –
Appreciate the concern and awareness for Mitchell Leahy, a senior at Hanover High and at our church youth group, that just ran away from his adopted parents this weekend. He’s 6’0″ tall skinny red headed kid, can’t miss him. We have hope that he is still in the RVA area.
