EXPLORING SPACES & DODGING BUSES
-
Despite being the newly minted Site-Q for Parliament YHC has found himself out of town moreoften than not on Tuesdays over the past several weeks and has otherwise been relatively asleepat the wheel. #Goofy sent a shout out last night, inquiring as to a Pre-Blast. Alas, YHC left hisParliament Q spreadsheet at the office and was inexcusably ignorant regarding who was to carrythe torch. In any event, YHC went to bed with an uneasy feeling. YHC awoke at 0345 hourswith a premonition that he needed to be ready to carry the load, a premonition that proved to beprescient as an unnamed (yet already forgiven) Q fartsacked. [HINT: Rhymes with Lingers] Inany event, YHC quickly conceived of a workout that would take the PAX on a tour of the#Parliament AO.WARMARAMASSH – IC x 15Imperial Storm Troopers — IC x 15Seal Claps – IC x 12Overhead Claps – IC x 12Arm Swirly Things forward — IC x 12Arm Swirly Things backward — IC x 12Abe Vigodas — IC x 12Whirlies with a Clap — IC x 12 (see a doctor and get rid of it)Mountain Climbers – IC x 10THE THANGSTATION # 1: The PAX mosey to the metal picnic tables in front of Southwest Elementary forthe first stop on our tour, where the following exercises were performed:Box Jumps x 12Dips x 12Irkins x 12Side Step Ups x 12 each legDerkins x 12[REPEATO]STATION # 2: Departing the picnic tables, the PAX moseyed to the far side of the front of theschool, where we grabbed some wall. The following good times ensued:
Wall Sit for 30 seconds
Jack Reachers x 25 OYO while maintaining Wall Sit
Mike Tysons x 10 OYO
BTTW for 25 seconds, followed by 10 Australian Merkins [handstand Merkins while in the
BTTW position]
[REPEATO]
STATION # 3: Carrying a lantern in each hand, YHC attempted to serve as some sort of bell
cow as we moseyed, seemingly aimlessly, down the connecting road toward West Forsyth High
School. YHC was in search of a rock pile that he knew was there somewhere, something that
proved hard as heck to find in the dark. After proceeding about a quarter mile, we found them.
Grabbing a rock in each hand, the PAX performed the following:
21s: 7 x 7 x 7 curls OYO
Overheard Press – IC x 15
Lat Raises – IC x 15
Skull Crushers – IC x 15
As we were performing these exercises, the PAX had to flee for our lives as two school buses
came slowly barreling down the road. [We weren’t in any real danger. However, it seemed far
more exciting/dangerous to me as I imagined that Karla was behind the wheel]
[REPEATO]
STATION # 4: YHC led the PAX back up the road and around to the rear of the school to
Hank’s Hill. The PAX did not seem to want to venture to the bottom of the hill. They had good
reason to be alarmed, as we partnered up and finished up as follows:
Partner # 1 performs the exercise while Partner # 2 runs/walks backwards up Hank’s Hill and
jogs back down to relieve Partner # 1, then Flapjack:
Monkey Humpers
Squats
Shoulder Taps
Quads screaming, the PAX departed Dear Old Hank’s Hill and moseyed around the school back
to the parking lot for Mary, completing our circumnavigation of Southwest Elementary. [For a
non-running AO, we notched about 1.5 miles. Not too shabby]

NMM:
At the outset of the Warmarama, YHC sensed a lot of whining and complaining. YHC
ordered that the PAX replace this total lack of motivation with at least a modicum of
false motivation. The PAX delivered.
Sour Mash expressed his disgust with YHC regarding our aimlessly running a
considerable distance to the rock pile, when perfectly good bricks were readily available
in a much more convenient location. YHC shook off this criticism, instead growing
increasingly concerned with the oncoming buses.
The fear inculcated by the buses, whether justified or not, was dwarfed by the fear caused
by a car barreling seemingly out of control through the parking lot as the PAX were
involved with Mary. 1040EZ bravely offered to throw himself under the car to save the
PAX. Thankfully, his sacrifice was not necessary.
COT:
Boomerang took us out, giving thanks for the day, the weather, and the ability for all of us
to encourage and support one another, and asking our Lord to work through us to spread
His love and kindness throughout the world.
There is no question that Karla was driving one of the buses. She is out to get the Pax. Sorry to have missed this one. Solid work boys!
Nice job Sarge! Next week I’m bringing my own light and reflective gear.
Nice. That’s a lot of moseying.
And who is Karla?
She whose name shall not be spoken! Risk manager for WSFCS. Wanted F3WS to complete a lease agreement and submit a COI. YHC inadvertently got her involved when I gave a courtesy heads up to The Distillery AO school principal that we were working out there after being locked out from our previous launch point of entry. We adapted and overcame like any good PAX and ran around to the front where there is no gate/fence and now launch from there.
Also, the next FNG that shows up at The Distillery is getting named Karla!
