The Kirk (Part 2 ) – A/K/A What’s that Smell?

 

 

On November 1, 2017, The Kirk was released (by Mongoose) on the following Pax:

Prospector, Red Eye, Splash, Huckleberry, Zima, Litterbox, Plunger, Balco, TPS, Quiver, Flyby, Spamalot, Sassy, Gepetto, Touch Me Not, Fingers, Mongoose (QIC)

Take a look at those names.  Many of the Pax who were there that day have not been seen since.  And some live across the street from Mayhem.  Heck, Plunger decided to move away altogether!

Many of these guys still live here.  Want some guys to EH?  Pick one of the above and text or call them.  We need them back out in the gloom.

 

This morning, as the Pax arrived, YHC quickly noticed that only Spalsh and me were repeat customers for this so-called fun workout.  Mongoose referred to the entire thing as a “time waster.”

 

Mission Statement and 5 Core Principles were recited.  YHC received high marks for the delivery.  Practice makes perfect.

THE THANG

Quick mosey down to the track/soccer field area for The Kirk:

Run a lap

Repeato AMRAP until Q calls time

 

I think most got 4 to 6 laps in.  Everyone put in solid work.

 

Mosey back to the parking lot (UP THE HILL) for Mary.

Usual assortment of exercises.  Low flutters, low dollys, Freddy Mercs, Mutton Crunches, Penguin Crunches, Dying Cockroaches. LBCs, maybe one other.  All IC, all x 12.

 

TIME

 

NMM

Rowdie (not entirely certain if I spelled it correctly.  Probably not) posted for the first time since the Pandemic.  Welcome back, and keep coming out.

The gloves YHC had been wearing for a long time finally caught up with everyone.  Holes everywhere, and the smell.  OMG, the smell.  The final straw was that YHC had worn them last Friday while posting at F3 Cape Fear.  I had then sealed them into a ziplock bag.  Suffice to say when the bag was opened this morning, the smell was…. unique.  Following the end of COT, Pony and Burlap accompanied YHC to the trash can to ensure that they were thrown out.  They were.

Not a lot of MC – Mongoose would be proud.

 

Announcements/Prayer Requests

Workbench has his VQ at Mayhem on 6/30.

Blood Drive on July 3, see DDay if interested!

Plunger makes his return from the low country this Saturday at Purgatory.  Do not miss.

Burlap has the Q for GreeNest on Saturday.  Still looking for guys to help.  Pony immediately stepped up.  If you have not volunteered, it is a great way to give back.  Only takes a couple of hours after your Saturday workout.

Continued prayers for Starfish and Giles.

 

YHC took us out, giving thanks.

 

Thank you all for coming out this morning.  The gloves are gone.

Missed you Site Q – Turnover.  But I guess you have a good excuse….Congrats!!

  1. Somehow, I like this workout. Thanks to Workbench for pulling me along and keeping us in sight of Spalsh and High Cotton. And it was good to do a bootcamp again with Wobegon. Been too long.
