17 Pax joined YHC for his VQ. YHC received a lot of encouragement leading up to the VQ be it texts, Twitter shout-outs, and high-fives in the parking lot just before. Once the clocked turned 5:30am, this support evaporated and was replaced by mumble chatter and passive mockery. We moseyed to the base of the Intimidator straight-away, which led Root Canal to exclaim “you’re doing it wrong” 13 seconds into the workout. We made it atop a hill, just not that one. The ascent was early and we worked our way down the mountain almost all exercises in cadence. A band of brothers worked our way from top to bottom of the hill, working our bodies bottom to top. Alas, the Pax was spared the Intimidator, as well as the pull-up bars, and this is what followed…

Prayer Requests

NMM
- Welcome Dreamliner visiting from Virginia
- Snookie was doing some sort of ballerina-like leg stretch while executing overhead claps. He does stuff like this a lot and it usually looks pretty weird. The Pax had some commentary, but we all know it comes from jealousy.
- Counts don’t need to be even numbers or sets of 5. YHC likes when you don’t know when the Q is going to end, keeps YHC working. There was a decent amount of mumble chatter about YHC’s unorthodox choices of counts (11, 26, 14, etc.). Some was deserved as this was YHC’s VG and a few counts were just off because of distraction.
- YHC’s 2.0 is a super-athlete, unlike YHC. She often mocks men for not stretching at the end of exercise, as one can totally see evidenced at F3. For the record one can do Whirlies and Abe Vigodas (can you make these plural???) at the end too. Kind feels nice on the back.
- Introduced “Bropees” — partners burpee ending with a high ten. There were some enthusiastic, Top Gun volleyball level Bropees happening, just not from Swiss Miss & Bernie. They could not be bothered to even fake a jump. It had more of a Napolean Dynamite than a Top Gun feel. But who am I to talk, I was the odd-man out doing them by myself.
- FNG was named Bucky only to have an Omaha called during announcements where his name was changed to Swinger because he is from Slinger, WI. This is not unlike YHC’s name, which is because the Pax thought YHC’s last name was Piper (as in the aircraft manufacturer) leading to Fokker (a German aircraft maker), because YHC’s last name is Pfeiffer? Welcome Swinger.
