Preamble:

Once upon a time 5 years ago, it all started with a vision....a worldwide pandemic helped nudge it along. That's right, it's a big day at Windjammer. It's our FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY and my SiteQ term is up so someone is about to takeover. I've got just the playlist to get this going. Let's go .

Warm-O-Rama:

Mosey to the dam to MGMT's catchy Kids for some SSHs, WillyMaysHays, ToySoldiers, WeedPickers, ArmCircles & MichaelPhelps. Now it was time to honor 5 years of Beatdowns by paying homage to our SiteQs of the past.

The Thang:

When Covid sent us all Homeward Bound, @Cookie emerged as a founding member & first SiteQ. We honored him with his favorite exercise, BallstotheWall for 1 minute. Then we went The Distance. That's right each Former SiteQ received 2 songs. We did 25 Merkins, run, 25 Squats, run & then did it again.      @FalseStart stepped up a year later. Yes, he's our Everlong Foo Fighter & Our Hero for moving on to Nantan. "You gotta promise not to stop when I say when." We moseyed to the boat launch & did 25 DryDocks, run the hill, 25 lunges, and then did it again.    Our third SiteQ was a thrill seeker & a hill seeker. Girl You Know It's True, ooh ooh ooh we love you, @MilliVanilli  He helped us keep it going and occasionally was a Midnight Rider.  We moseyed back to the dam flag and did a CircleMerk to 100 with diamond, wide, & straight Merkins.      It became clear we needed a BeastieBoy who knew how to fight for his right to party, so @Townie took over and led with a No Sleep Till Brooklyn mentality. He was an Animal in his tenacity for recruiting and added cold towels. We moseyed back to the lot and grabbed some coupons and started working everything in the upper body. My growing popularity as the areas best DJ overshadowed Townie's hatred for Imagine Dragons so he tapped me to take over & only asked me to limit Imagine Dragons songs even though they are perfect for beatdowns, right? I tried to honor that request much of the year but not today. Of course we did Burpees and some Mountain Climbers to Thunder.  It has honestly been a pleasure to serve an AO that has given me so much. Thanks for the opportunity. And now it was time for me to pass the torch & flag to a guy who has been consistent, who has overcome a lot, who pushes himself, who is always encouraging, always serving, and can talk some great trash to Milli & others. I have no doubt @Sparkie is the perfect man to take the baton & run. You are the Captain now, my friend.

COT:

I'm extremely thankful for the Windjammer & ALL of you guys. We have a great thing going. Let's keep going and keep growing and keep improving and leading ourselves and each other. Proud to be a part.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

The arena is empty, except for one man. Still driving and striving as fast as he can. The sun has gone down and the moon has come up. And long ago somebody left with the cup. But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns. And thinking of someone for whom he still burns. He's going the distance!
