3 pax posted for a Sub-Q Tour de Bear Cat part deux.
The evening proceeding this workout started with a conversation about Uncle Jesse’s back feeling not quite right. He asked me to be ready just in case it wasn’t feeling well enough to go by gloom time. The next morning I received a text stating that very thing. Ok, maybe no one will show and I can tag along to another AO to enjoy some work at a semi-strange environment. Not so fast. As I pulled into the parking drive I saw a Inspector’s minivan, and coming in behind me was Tootsie Roll. So I gave the 2 of them the choice of stationary work or another tour of Lander. They chose Lander and off we went.

The THANG: Leaving Fury, we headed South to Laurel and then West to the light, taking Glenwood to Gracemont. We moseyed up Gracemont until we hit Wilson which provided a straight shot to the fancy water fountain in the heart of Lander University. There was 1 stop at Wilson to perform 20 merkins. Once arriving at the fountain, the work was delivered as follows; 40 dips, 40 flutter kicks. Rinse and repeat dropping 5 each set for 5 rds. YHC got in a groove during this work and kept going until called out by Inspector for how many rds we were on the hook for. Ooops. We then moseyed through the courtyard to the amphitheater, our true destination. Starting at the top, we hopped down to the bottom and then returned. This was repeated 5 times. Then YHC decided that decline merkins were the order of the day. Starting from the top, perform 5 decline merkins on every level. At the half way point hop to the bottom, then the top, then back to the middle to finish the merkins. This was a killer! Once the merkins were complete, it was time to hang our legs off of the stage and perform 100 leg lifts. One more time hopping up and down the theater seating and it was time to go. The whale proved too magnetic, and YHC decided to go inspect it further. It’s constructed of a wire frame and has grocery store plastic bags stretched over it to create the skin. This thing is really cool. I have to say that Lander campus has came a long long way in the last 20 years and it seems that the majority of it is for the better. Off we moseyed back to Fury. This time we took Sproles to Grace to Laurel to return. We stopped at FBC for a final set of abdominal hate by performing 100 Hello Dollies with our legs hanging off of the sanctuary steps. Like the Saturday before, once we reached Fury Rd, the call was 10Merkins at the grace stop sign, 10 at Jug’s Yield Sign, and 10 at the flag.

NNM: There wasn’t much mumblechatter with the 3 of us always out of breath. The two men that attended both are great company in the gloom even without words. I look forward until the next time we can workout together again.
