7 PAX (Kay, Chipper, Water Wings, Special Ed, Flounder, Serta, and Mulligan????Did I get that right?) went with Special Ed for Feat of strength, while the remainder followed Dean to see how Gilmore could possibly be honored…

the RWB gang moseyed to Dean’s truck to get concrete cylinders (and extra tools) and then to the big parking lot for a rinse/repeat of his last Ivey Q where you bear crawl while pushing your cylinder up the parking lot.   Here was Deliverance...

We then went to the top of the hill for 11s of Burpees at top, dips at the bottom…this was inspired by Gilmore‘s workout one day where he assigned a crap ton of burpees, then had to go relieve himself early into the burpees only to come back right when we finished all the burpees.  Thus, to honor him, we stopped about (3) rotations in and took our cylinders (load) to the bathrooms by Far Side‘s tennis courts.  The cylinder being symbolic of the load Gilmore carries with him every workout.  And the sweet relief once you no longer have to carry it…so the cylinders remained there…

We then moseyed back to the big parking lot for suicides with tools.  Borrowing a technique from Dr. Evil (he used Lego’s), and the inspiration of Gilmore (TOOLS!), we used the tools to mark lines for suicides.  First a run, then lunge suicides, then crab walk suicides for the sugar rays…Some of us also looked like tools…

We then moseyed to the benches for some step ups (raise your tool) and dips…Added one round of step-ups with derkins as filler….

Then back to the “tennis courts” for Mary’s:

15x LBC

12x Rex Ryans

Low Slow Flutters (Crankbait questioned the Q’s speed here…)

Supermans (Crankbait requested to count…which actually added a round)

Hammers with your tool…

Random Notes:

Duvet wanted something covered in the BB that happened, but I forgot…hopefully he’ll comment because it was funny…i just tend to forget things while Q’ing…

Despite all the talk on Slack…No FloRida sightings were made…

Blue Hen and Man Hands took both a Saw and an Ax onto elementary school property…

A Silver Alert was issued for Sludge at the beginning…but seriously, Gilmore went looking hard…
