The PAX were getting restless and we had places to go …

Beatdown

Mosey to Corpening Plaza.

PAX divide into 4 groups and then spread to the corners.  Groups at corners 2, 3, and 4 do exercises until the group from the previous one relieves it.

• Corner 1: 20 burpees
• Corner 2: WWII AMRAP
• Corner 3: carolina dry docks AMRAP
• Corner 4: squats AMRAP

Mosey to Merschel Plaza.

• teeter totter x 15 OYO
• bear crawl up poop hill
• rapid fire (PAX respond with number with Q says “down”) — no rest
  • 25: dips, irkins, jack reachers
  • 20: dips, irkins, jack reachers
  • 15: dips, irkins, jack reachers
  • 10: dips, irkins, jack reachers
  • 5: dips, irkins, jack reachers

Mosey to Winston Square Park.

Blackjack.  Do 1 merkin at center stage and 20 LBCs at top of stairs.

• Increase merkins to 20 and decrease LBCs to 1.

Mosey back to Launch Point.

Mary

• heels to heaven x 12 IC
• low dolly x 12 IC

The class was rowdy and the students took advantage of the substitute, so we decided to end at 6:15.

Circle of Trust:

• YHC took us out.

Today’s Q’s Random Musings:

• The PAX were not thrilled at the Q’s superior cadence abilities.  In fact, YHC thinks that Thistle tried to revolt by doing … well, it’s unclear what exactly Thistle was doing during the Arm Destroyer portion of the program.
• Palin expressed his love for the Q many times over the course of 45 minutes.
• More than once, a member of the PAX was thankful that he checked the Q calendar (the joke was on him as YHC was a substi-Q).
• YHC definitely appreciates the homebrew education that Root Canal was able to espouse.  Side note: clearly the beatdown was not difficult enough for him as he was able to speak often.
• Cobains to DQ for the completely not-shoulder-friendly workout.  The man smartly modified when necessary.
• Since Mutton is such a silent assassin and does not often run his mouth (like some unnamed MC’ing PAX), is anyone else concerned what goes on in his head?  Is he secretly planning to take out the Qs he doesn’t like?
• Not only does Thistle have trouble with sequential counting to 3 (i.e. cadence), but he struggles with adding one to the previous number during other’s cadence.
• YHC decided not to use the parking deck for pullups because Palin was complaining about Mesothelioma and had James Sokolove on speed dial.  Watching too much late night TV commercials, Palin?
• The PAX were super duper disappointed when the Blackjack portion of the program was Omaha’d for time.  Much grumbling ensued and many FiA comments were directed towards the Q.
• Lots of RESPECT this morning.

Announcements:

• Something called Shmedfest is on Saturday.  Thanks for the last minute notice, Plunger.
• Sufferfest on Saturday morning.  Birthday Murphday at 6:00.  90 minute convergence at HP at 7:00.
• Give2Give Campaign.  Other regions are catching us!

Prayers:

• God for the cooler weather.

Sorry Toe Tag, YHC dropped the keys out there somewhere during the super slow cadence.  Hope you have a spare set.

Zima out.
