The Kirk at The Flatline

With two back-to-back Qs, YHC kept it simple this week.

The Q (sidenote: I hit every possible light coming in today, sheesh) rolled up at 0624 to find Rollback doing burpees alone in the parking lot while Lambchop sat in his car. I pulled the cursed cardboard out of the back, powered up the speaker, fist-bumped the pax, and we jumped right in. Spicoli joined a few moments later.

A stone-cold F3 classic, The Krik (from a dude in Charlotte named Kirk and has little to nothing to do with Star Trek, much to the disappointment of my nerdy little heart) as the plan for the first :30 mins.

  • 7 Burpees
  • 14 Merkins
  • 21 American Hammers
  • 28 Squats
  • 35 Jack Reachers
  • 42 LBCs
  • Run a lap ‘rond the outside, ’round the outside.
  • Repeat-O

We did this till 6am.  Next up: constant-motion-Mary.

  1. Run to a corner, one pax calls a Mary exercise.
  2. Run to the next corner, next pax calls it….
  3. 4 pax, 4 corners, you get it.

We got three rounds, and it ranged from classics (Low Fluttah) to obscure (grasshopper merkins).

And right on time, 0615.

Announcements and Prayers:

  • Rollback is running the Wilmington Marathon this weekend. May or may not burpee along the way.
  • Medical situations and improvements for Lambchop’s and Rollback’s family
  • Aging parents
  • Coming snow and impacts on stuff we all have planned.

Moleskin:

What a solid quartet of dudes! Conversations ranged from pizza styles (Grandma Style needs official status) to Soundgarden covers to medical procedure updates. During COT, Rollback shared his Legendary vision for Honoring older pax as we move forward. Stay tuned; YHC fully endorses the idea. Tunes started with Isbell, ended with Neil Young, and included Beastie Boys, MC5, and At The Drive-In along the way.

It is an honor to lead; thanks for the push and the conversation, boys. Live long and prosper.

    1. I mean, I may have left a minute or two later than I should, but still. I’ll count the number on University next time.
