terrapin-station Rainy Lightning Cluster Q With Some Murph Prep

Date: 2025-04-04
AO: terrapin-station
Q: Legacy
PAX: Enron, Kodak, Hobbyhorse, Ice Tea, 2 percent, Gherkin, Popeye, Goldfish FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walker, Hill Billy, Yadda Yadda Yadda
THE THANG: It started out promising, but I hadn’t checked the radar and was blissfully unprepared. Worse, I did not know that some of us were only about 27 hours a way from a bludgeoning at thesandlot But I digress already. We started with an 11, involving burpees and WWIIs, and this went well, except for lighting and then ultimately, rain. So, we took cover. The rest of my planned workout involved hanging on the monkey bars, obviously not a great idea. But we improvised, did rounds of Merkins and Squats (per the Murph) and then rounds of dips and American Hammers. Popeye then unleashed a Mega-Broga round of planks which made me miserable. Then we did more rounds of merkins and squats. Along with a specialty of the House and TS, the Circle of Thrust, more merkins, squats and it seems folks got their money’s worth. MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Murph, The Convergence, and thank you 2 percent
COT: What Gherkin said: thank you to 2 percent, who is the Site Q here (and was the Site Q at the General). Site Qs are key to F3. Starting terrapin-station was a brilliant leadership move. SYITG!

MARY: Freddie Mercurys & Noland Ryans

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: We talked about the concept of perfection. Jesus said “be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect.” And yet only he was capable of sinlessness. The Wesleyan understanding of this has been one of seeking to do the Godly (loving) thing at all times. We should pursue this even while knowing we will mess up. Vince Lombardi famously stated, “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.” Go on towards perfection, by the grace of God. Good discussion followed, ending in prayer.
