Birthday Tabata

Several pax decided to hit a long run (two went for a stupid run) so there were a number of messages sent to YHC pleading for a stationary Q. YHC had to accommodate, but had to devise a plan for the Nan’tan’s birthday. After all, he is once again older than YHC and the pax needed to know it.

Conditions: A balmy 55° Perfect weather for a birthday party!

Count, Name, Pray

  • Lots of pax and family members dealing with physical and emotional pains. Truly thankful for the gloom and the men who wake early to gather and support one another

  • Bambi showed up and immediately began the quest for the Holy Grail. He spun back out of the parking lot and returned in time to put in some solid work. #Elvis
  • “Jug, didn’t you say this was stupid the last time you did a bunch of burpees for a warm-up?” Yes, but two problems. One, we only did 41 burpees. Two, I said it was stupid, not that I would never do it again. Aye.
  • YHC has never seen the pax so happy to put a block down as they were after the OH press. Good grief, four minutes is a long time.
  • Speaking of a long time, YHC has not done any Tabata work for some time (though I was once published in the Tabata Times) and blurted out that it was 45 seconds of work and 15 seconds of rest. YHC blurted out several other patently incorrect times before settling on 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of work. #Cobains
  • #TClaps to Flossy and UncleJesse for putting in some solid work the day after running 17 miles. Told ya two guys ran stupid.
  • There were some comments about too much rest. Pretty sure the OH presses killed that conversation.
  • The AOQ was kind enough to hand out some shirts to thos ewho posted to the launch of Terrapin. This led to some jealousy among the pax and, subsequently, the decision to have a second run of the highly coveted Terrapin swag.
  • Terrapin is a great AO with lots and lots of options whether you prefer strict strength training or knocking out a lot of miles with pain stations. #Post

As always, It is an honor to lead a group of leaders.
