The Damned Stoplight
All BackBlasts BackblastsJuly 27th, 2022
Pax: Homeland, Private Ryan, Tombstone, Ponch, Checkmate, Finish Line, Look Me Up, Slash, Skinner, Popeye, Mountie, Mayhem, Spud
12 Men joined the Q to protest some absolute bullshit.
Warm-Up:
Jog to parking lot next to What-a-Burger (inexplicably pronounced Waturbuger) for
- SSH x 20
- Hillbilly x 10
- Loose change x 10
- Arm circles until we got interrupted by a rogue truck…more on that later.
- Mosey to THE DAMNED STOPLIGHT for
THANG
3 station beatdown with a central point of THE STOPLIGHT
Mosey from stoplight to 5/3 parking lot for 10 squats, 10 lunges, then back to stoplight
Mosey from stoplight to lot of an esteemed city councilman’s business for 10 core killerz and 10 V-Ups, then back to stoplight
Mosey from stoplight to corner across from jail near the uneven stairs of death for 10 hand release merkins and 10 dry docks, then back to stoplight.
Repeato
Everytime you go back to stoplight, add a burpee, starting with 1, all the way to infinity burpees.
Time called at 0602 for
Mini-Thang (AKA Tombstone’s penis)
Circle up back at lot next to Lil Robert’s
Iron cross, everyone finish their arm circles, keeping arms up as we rotated 10 merkins around the circle. Any pax dropped their arms, a 10 burpee penalty awaited.
Iron boat, everyone hold canoe/boat pose while we rotated 5 LBCs around the circle. Any pax dropped, YHC did not specify penalty, but it would have been severe.
Mosey to
MARY
Lame broga stuff, but actually not terrible!
COT
No spoken prayers, so we Lord’s Prayered it out.
Moleskin
Solid little BURNA, 2-2.5 miles with most getting up to 10 or 11 burpees. Much fun was had by all, especially running up and down the hill to councilman King’s abode. Everyone disliked the light. The iron cross made me laugh and strained my shoulders. The iron boat means I have some rock hard abs for Tomby’s Halley’s Comet Q tomorrow.
Nobody can know the hate I have for a stoplight that inconveniences between 2-15 minutes of my day, but ultimately, letting that affect my entire day is on me. Life is filled with many inconveniences. Those suck. Life is also filled with many glorious things. Love, kids, bourbon, fake boobs, real boobs, steaks, reuben sandwiches, Ice cream at 7:30 PM, a deep breath after a tough workout, a hearty laugh shared with friends over the 7000th Barry joke, my F3 bros. That is the shit that matters. Focus more on the latter and less on the former, and you’re doing life right. You guys are a glorious thing. Keeping being the light.
