46

Mostly clear skies on a cool morning in the 30s. First day back to school, and a Tuesday means we would undoubtedly be dock blocked. And we were. Good thing YHC brought the cones – which took a while to set up, making some Pax nervous that we won’t have time to finish the Q – which we didn’t. But it’s my BDQ, so I’m going to do what I want. Almost what I want. A major back horkage, now in it’s minor state, due to a few days of healing, required me to modify here and there, but I digress. Six Pax came for the birthday celebration. Their presence was my present. They say it’s your birthday. We’re gonna have a good time.

THE THANG
Yes, we’re going to a party, party. I would like you to dance. First we partied. Anticipating the dock block, YHC placed 2 rows of 8 cones in the parking lot, spaced every three spaces. Why 8? Well, after a little calculation, the easiest way to get to 46 using the numbered spaces is to use the even numbered spaces (12-2) and add 3 and 1. Pax worked their way down and back through the numbered cones, doing the amount of reps at each cone.

• Merkins 12 to 1
• Carolina Dry Docks 1 to 12
• Overhead press 12 to 1
• Curls 1 to 12
• Block squats 12 to 1
• Jump overs 1 to 12

You say it’s your birthday. Well, it’s my birthday too, yeah.  Now it’s time for cake. But first we had to bake the cake. Pax got 4 dry ingredients near the swing set and 4 wet ingredients near the flag, bringing each one back, individually, to the center of the parking lot, where they were mixed. Mixing was done by doing 3 burpees in the middle of the parking lot. Each unit of measurement (eg, cup, teaspoon, Tablespoon) was 10 reps. (Eg, 2 cups of flour was 20 reps). Here’s the recipe for the cake they baked in no particular order.

Dry

• 2c Flour (Flour = Underdogs)
• 1.5c Sugar (Sugar = Australian Snow Angels)
• 2t Baking Soda (Baking Soda = Supermans)
• 1t Salt (Salt = a crab walk back to the mixing area)

Wet

• 1 stick Butter (Butter = V-Ups)
• 2 Eggs (Eggs = Heels to Heaven)
• 2t Vanilla (Vanilla = 2ct Flutter Kicks)
• 3T Oil (Oil = LBCs)

We were going to let it bake while we ran a lap. But we ran out of time. Instead, Pax split into two groups. Each group individually sprinted to a cone and brought it back to a small rectangle near the flag, ie, putting the candle on the cake.  When time got really short, we all just ran and picked up all the candles.

I’m glad it’s your birthday. Happy birthday to you.

MARY
Way too much planned for this Q. The cake baking included Mary-like exercises, so we did hit our core.
