To those who eagerly awaited this backblast, apologies. Thanks to F3, YHC has found that he can no longer function after 8:30 p.m. and promptly fell asleep on the couch upon returning home
Was absolutely thrilled at the turnout for Tour de Lightmere. 29 gathered in the gloom for a tour of Cary’s finest decorated houses with the workout loosely based on various Christmas themes. After circling up, we moseyed to the cul-de-sac of the first house on our tour. Besides the required SCary Stretch®, we dug deep into the Exicon for Flying Nuns. At the conclusion of each stop, we rated each house’s decorations with burpees. Lame houses received 1 burpee while world-class merited 5 burpees.
Mosey to the next house featuring candy cane decorated trees for another round. Exercises featured putting the star on top of the tree, pulling decorations from the attic. Mosey towards the dock.
I think it’s appropriate to pause here and thank the fine citizens of Lochmere for organizing a flotilla of cars in honor of our workout. What is normally a quiet neighborhood was busier than Macy’s Thanksgiving parade. Next year we need the HOA to step up and shut down Lochmere drive.
More exercises at the dock while gazing across the water, ran across the bridge and down the back of the dam to our final house on the tour which rated a full 5 burpees. There was some vague tie in to “A Christmas Story”, but mostly it was about controlling the chaos. Mosey back to the parking lot for a COT, refreshments, and fellowship. Lots of FNGs — dads please memorialize the newly named in the comments below.
What an absolute treat to have all of the 2.0s present and participate in a bit of holiday cray cray with all of us. YHC had a lot of help pulling this one off. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you all!
