Slow Down Homie
QIC: Beverly
Date: 9/15/17
PAX: Toe Tag, Root Canal (WD), Lysol, Torque, Starfish, Bambi (former FNG Joel Huffman) (WB), Mutton
Toe Tag approached YHC last month about Qing Friday’s non-running workout, #UrbanAssault. While YHC always likes working out downtown, this particular beatdown conflicts with the Friday running workout, thus I had never been. This is also one of the reasons downtown was selected as the AO for #Flatline. Since YHC’s legs are still recovering from the mountains last weekend, this was the perfect opportunity to Q a Flatline-style workout at UA.
NOTE – the original plan was to break protocol and do #FlatlineFriday, but the Nantan and his pal Starfish both rolled in at 0525, so YHC became suspicious and decided to stick to the protocol, thus modifying the plan to a “regular-tempo bootcamp”. Don’t want my Q card revoked for going rogue.
Eight pax, including 1 FNG, answered the call this morning.

- Welcome Bambi, formerly FNG Joel Huffman. Bambi is the 17-year old co-worker of Torque, and his dad and grandfather both work there also. Since his dad’s name is Buck, “Young Buck” was thrown out, but eventually we went even younger, which was apropos.
- Bambi left some of his dinner in the 1st Pres parking lot post-beatdown. Since he’s 17 and too young to (legally) drink merlot, we have coined this #SpillingMilk. (credit: Toe Tag)
- Starfish: D’onofrio’s character in Full Metal Jacket was called Gomer Pyle. #imdb
- It was my first time meeting Torque, who I at first thought was MIB reincarnated. Must be the beard. And the black Nike tank.
- Root Canal and Toe Tag took Catch Me If You Can seriously and showed no pity on YHC and Starfish once we started our burpees. They were flying! Starfish blamed the Q.
- Mutton appeared to have second thoughts about the workout upon arrival, but was calmed when Lysol and Starfish appeared from the gloom.
Thanks for the opportunity, Toe Tag!

Sorry I missed this tough one – but I don’t trust a PAX who can string together sub 6 min miles and his hair not get messed up.

Yes, it was reported that you Fartsacked via text message this morning. We need a name for that.

Beatdown was 100% Nantan approved! Hate to see our new FNG spilling milk, however #Bambi has his eyes set on the Marines, so we can consider this the 1st or many milk spilling. Always fun to RIRO to UA!

Sounds awesome, Beverly. Love the Dora123 using that hill. Welcome Bambi!
