Pre-Q info:

Pre-blast included a picture of 2 men dueling with umbrellas.. PAX chatter was inquiring if the Q would be about “doors” or “bowler hats”.  

Conditions:

38 degrees, mild wind and dry

Disclaimer:

Mildly decent disclaimer.  QiC explained that this was #3 in the 10 things Mai Tai hates theme of 2024 and would be about UMBRELLA’s.  The main reason Mai Tai hates umbrellas is he hates carrying things around.  

Warm-up:

PAX started with a “creative mosey” around Reeves park and ended up at the stage.  PAX circled up, but opened up a bit and spread out like an umbrella.  

• SSH IC x 10 – QiC requested that arms open up like an umbrella during SSH
• Seal Claps to Overhead claps IC x 10 – umbrella like
• Moroccan night clubs IC x 10
• Randy’s 2x IC x10 – flap wings like Randy in Christmas Story, but do it like an umbrella
• Dial up stretch with arms opening up the sky like umbrellas
• 20 Squats OYO

Quick fact was given about how the patent office employs 4 people just for umbrella related patents.  Over 3,000 patents have been granted around umbrella related items.  

The Thang:

PAX partnered up and did exercises that spelled out UMBRELLA.  PAX 1 does exercise and PAX 2 does a “creative” mosey… swap

Music:  Playlist included Rhianna’s Umbrella song and other songs about rain, or no rain.

U – Up and over’s (PAX 1 holds low floor elevator merkin for Lando’s birthday – PAX 2 jumps over 50 reps each

M – Merkins x 100 

B – Burpees x 100

R – Rockette dips x 100

E – Elevated merkins x 100

L – Lunges x 200

L – LBCs x 200

A – Alternating shoulder taps x 200

Many PAX complaints about doing Burpees after Merkins and how it’s probably too many.. But hey!  QiC didn’t invent the dumb word Umbrella!

Men got better and did so with a friend.  

COT:

A few more Umbrella facts were given.  Prayers for Spikes daughter and family during her travels.  Prayers for Humbolt’s grandmother and family after the loss of his grandfather.  

No, references to Umbrella’s in the Bible.  Umbrella’s are not Biblical.
