14 HIMs showed up to follow YHC into the gloom for my VQ. We moseyed the “wrong way” over to the picnic shelter for a warmarama, where the Pax gently reminded YHC to not abruptly end workout cadences and actually shout the cadences. Most were done in sets of 18, to celebrate the 18 years I lived in Ohio before leaving home. We followed with 9 Burpees, to celebrate the 9 National Championships of The Ohio State University’s football team, and then moseyed down to the Pump House.
Along the way, it was decided that as an homage to YHC’s first post, Applesauce (like Kriss Kross) was going to make you Jump, Jump, with Leeroy Jenkins calls triggering two Burpees. At the Pump House we did a Cycling-themed Pipeline Triple Check, with Freddy Mercuries and HR Merkins (to help with YHC’s cyclist arms). Next we went up the hill, aborting an ill-conceived mosey down the bike trails after Senor Frog almost died, and meeting at the cages for another triple check, with Pullups/Jerkins and Copperhead Squats.
Next we moseyed over to the Carillon to partner up for a Dora in honor of YHC’s 9th Anniversary, which was also at the Carillon, with 90 LBCs, 180 Dips, and 270 SSHs. With a few Leeroy Jenkin’s calls along the way, there was much jumping and pain on the way back to the flags. Once there we wrapped up with a circle of fire featuring many Merkins, closed with some Fudd’s and Wilson’s Wives, and then finished about 30 seconds early, to much grumbling and disappointment, about right for a VQ.

Huge shout out to Hitch for his enthusiastic EH bringing me out 3 months ago and and his friendship along the way, Bodos, Vandelay, and Croissant (Memphis) for encouraging me to join F3, and all the Pax who’ve welcomed and encouraged me at Dogpile, Pickleball, 45MOM, and Union Market coffeteria over the last few months.
