An opening poem for Deflator Q9.0
“Four happy PAX. Four happy PAX.
See how they run. See how they run.
They dragged themselves out of the fart-sack.
They ran around to 4 cul-de-sacs.
They stopped at the rocks and did jumping jacks
Those four happy PAX.”
Warmup:
30 SS Hops IC, 15 Don Quixotes in Espanol, and 4 4×4’s
The Thang:
A 1.5 mile mosey through the Charthouse area of Eagle Harbor, stopping at 20 rocks (5 each at 4 cul-de-sacs) to exercise. The 5-exercise cycle was burpees, merkins, SS hops, squats, and LBCs. Merkins were varied: standard, then patty cake, then mountain climber merkins, and finally tempo merkins. Mosey on back to the flags via Bear Crawl Bridge. Groan for the slow and eventual beatdown.
One more Thang:
A round of Bear Crawl Ring of Fire (YHC is a huge fan of the bear crawl, can’t have a Q without it).
Count and then Name-o-Rama
COT – Luke 5:5 where Simon answered to Jesus “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” YHC sought this passage on the occasion of a similar sounding low-yield fishing trip this weekend. Of course the passage in full context has much more meaning. Like continuing on in faith when it could be easier to make an excuse to not go back out there, and that even a fisherman should listen to a non-fisherman (so to speak) because there is always something to learn, in Simon’s case something magnificent. Dont dismiss others – listen!
Balled it out. Fini.
Moleskin –
Thanks to Triple Option for delaying his Q due to a scheduleing conflict. Its a good thing when we have to manage those kinds of “problems”! Also, the rest of the PAX hope Tow Rope got home and won the Q-Daddy’s Pitmaster BBQ battle – insiders know what we are talking about.
Until next time…..!!!!!!!
