AO: The Hooch

When: 2024-07-17

QIC: Dinghy

PAX (25): Animal, Birdie, Boomer, Chesapeake, Cousin Eddie (Alejandro Ferrer), Credit Check, Fuzzy Dice, HIPAA, Humperdinck, Maguire, McCracken, Pele, Popper (Dan Richard), Potter (Matt Rowand), PuffDaddy, Shrimp, Spackle, Splinter, Sunshine, Turk, Y2K, Zima, 2.0 Photoshop and FNG Short Round (Welcome)

Preamble:

YHC missed his birthday Q at the Hooch last week (business travel), so he had some extra time to plan something special. Too bad that something special was so special that it made him puke after coffeeteria.  More on that later. With and FNG in tow, full disclaimer (including pre-blast warning to be hydrated - more on that later, too) was given, and off we went.    

Warm-O-Rama:

10 each of weedpickers, hillbillies, Willie Mays Hays, Moroccan Nightclubs, and SSH's. Mosey the big loop and circle up at the movie theatre

The Thang:

At the theater, Q called cadence and led Pax for 11 rounds of a Bloody Mary. Each round started with a tempo explosion mercan (5 reps, eliminated after 6 rounds in interest of time). This was followed by following exercises of 15 reps, 1 exercise each round  (J Lo's, Pickle Pounders, Flutter Kicks, American Hammers, Left SideV ups, Right SideV ups, Supermen, Rope Climbers, Gas Pumpers, LBC's, A-Rods), followed by a run around the center walkway (again, in interest of time, reduced to halfway up the walkway). Note that after the LBC's, used the run back to the flag for the run, then conducted the ARods. After each walkway run, pax conducted 5 burpees, then Imperial Walker/Hillbilly/Mountain Climber/Peter Parker/Al Gore/Apollo Ohno for the 6. With YHC being newly 55, that is 55 burpees folks. For last minute, did FreddieMercuries and Dying Cockroaches. AND THAT WAS TIME  

COT:

Don't forget to donate to Camp Kudzu (link on Slack channels). Prayers for healing for our country.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Despite pre-hydration, YHC was reminded that pushing yourself means getting uncomfortable. This was the first time this Q actually bought a Buick post beatdown, which means he might need to accelerate his fitness while being smart. That said, it also means that we all need to motivate each other to succeed - and it was great to lead this group with the level of effort that EVERYONE gave. So honored to lead!
