7 men of leisure strolled forth for the latest edition of The First Watch. Conditions were 70 and sunny, albeit with a very small amount of rain and a handful of wet spots. According to the Teen Aged Female Yale Student (YHC apologizes to any actual Teen Aged Girls reading this) griping about getting even a little bit of water on his whittle clothes, the following 100% dry exercises might have happened.
Hutton is on the DL, but posted anyway. Walked Alone for the workout. Clearly, he’s not a Liverpool fan. Good choice. Liverpool FC can suck it. Yeah, Mr. Holland.
Mosey to the side of the River Road Church, Baptist for the COP.
SSHs x25
Dead Man Hang
Imperial Walkers x10
Downward Dog
WWIIs (Handshake’s alternative exercise to avoid getting wet: American Hammers)
HRMs (Handshake’s alternative exercise to avoid getting wet: Merkins, or maybe it was Arm Circles)
Inverted Scorpion Kicks (Handshake’s alternative exercise to avoid getting wet: Stand Still, in cadence)
Handshake wanted to show his “I really do get wet sometimes” bona fides, so the PAX moseyed back towards his truck to see his “wet balls spot” on the driver’s side seat. Really. Can’t make this up. YHC stopped to do exercises among the sprinklers on the grass. The PAX rebelled and refused to enter the wet grass with live sprinklers. Soon, the PAX arrived at Little Blue, and YHC shined a light on the driver’s seat. YHC can attest – Handshake’s balls spot exists as advertised. Handshakes’ balls apparently sweat profusely ‘cause they certainly do not get wet from the rain.
Partner up. But, do nothing with that partner for the time being. Mosey to South Ridge.
Remember your partner.
Mosey to the house with many cream colored pillars on a long wall. Using the first light as a starting point and the black-and-white striped sign as the turn-around, the Pax did the following:
50 merkins – each man
100 monkey humpers (team total)
150 4-count SSHs (team total)
1 burpee or 3 merkins as a transition.
(Note: all exercises were done in a dry, climate controlled environment with a warm towel waiting at the end).
Upon completion, the Pax moseyed to the striped pole. Repeat the general concept with the next turning point being the Country Squire sign. (A change of clothes / Lulu (see what I did there?) Lemon pants was/were provided to anyone / Handshake who had started to sweat or get wet).
Hand-release merkins
Slow squats
SSHs (YHC thinks)
Continue moseying down S. Ridge until YHC says stop. Then, partner up.
First partner runs to Country Squire sign. Second partner bear crawls. When the first partner returns, swap. Second exercise was lunge. Third was butt kickers or high knees (Dealer’s Choice).
Mosey back to the county’s smallest park for a four-cornered, no-right-angles exercise. Corner 1, 10 merkins. Corner 2, 20 WWIIs. Pencil roll across the grass. Or, just walk across the grass as the Pax still refuse to get wet on a rainy morning. Change into dry shoes. Corner 3, 30 monkey humpers (and a bunch of SSHs…) and mosey BTTVSF. One WWII, one pencil roll, one merkin. Enter that air-dry blower machine that they have at King’s Dominion after the water rides so the Pax can dry off.
Numbers, names, and YHC took us out.
Announcements: Someone thinks there might be a Memorial Day Convergence at Tredegar.
NMS:
OS F3: Show up, find the biggest puddle / temporary lake in human history in Bird Park. Water must be 6” high to qualify. Run halfway across that puddle / lake in the rain. Stop. Perform 10 burpees or merkins in that puddle. Repeato. Until time.
NS F3: gripe about doing 1 WWII on a slightly wet spot of asphalt. Until time.
