@ShortSale reminded YHC of the tradition of Qing the Thanksgiving Thursday workout at the original #Core workout of @F3WinstonSalem.  So YHC was all in for the third annual Thanksgiving TRQ because, after all, tradition is tradition and we can’t break such a special streak.

10 showed up for the warmup WIB and gave THANKS for F3 and for Turkish Getups.  7 of those 10 stuck around for the main event at #TRQ and were joined by 16 more family members to make it truly festive.

Disclaimer issued, FNG and Kotters welcomed warmly and we’re off.

FIN.

YHC was excited to see @Inkspot and his 2.0 @Man roll up at 0659 with @Man’s significant other aka FNG aka now @MisterMan.  It did make YHC a little sad as there wasn’t yet any sign of YHC’s 2.0s @Frostbite and @ChickenBiscuit who had #HCd the night before.  Tried to hide the disappointment and lead #WarmORama anyway.  Fortunately, those two jabronis pulled in as we were doing Mountain Climbers, making their #OldMan proud.

Tclaps to @DDay and @GreenAcres for RIRO and to @Mongoose for RI.  Privileged to give #SurlyOne a ride home after the workout since none of the #BrookberryDoctors decided to get out of the fartsack this morning.

Significant complaints/mumblechatter about the turkish getups, particularly from the WIB crowd who had already performed 63-84 turkish getups during the 6am hour.  Quit your bitchin’, they’re good for you.  YHC, as a good Okie, ignored the calls for #Omaha during the #TurkishPrison.

Some of you chose less than acceptable rocks during #PlymouthRock so we audibled (#NotAnOmaha) to the rotation so the pax could enjoy their friends’ rock selections as well.

@TheSingingCowboy charmed us with his dulcet tones during #DankeShoen and @Splash recognized the tune from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Tclaps for keeping the family tradition alive.  Enjoy your turkey and all the fixins and all the family (even #DrunkUncle) today.  Happy Thanksgiving!
