Was it the Q or the Route?

Was it the Q or the Route?

QIC: Total Recall

Date: 11/06/2017

PAX: Balco, Mongoose, Cobra, Zuckerberg, Litter Box, Juice Box, Mutton, Plunger, Glazer, Cheerio, Burlap, Wiki, Van Gogh, Drano, Bueller?, Bout Time

A record setting Run-N-Gun number was set because one of a handful of possibilities:

1. People realized it was a TR Q and did not want to miss it.
2. There was no Speed Trap
3. It was Balco’s birthday
4. It was a mid 60s degree morning with a route that featured the beautiful Wake Forest University campus.

I’ll let the PAX decide which it was! The run was as follows:

The Run

• Start at Reynolda Presbyterian (2200 Reynolda Rd, Winston-Salem, NC 27106)
• Cross the Street to Reynolda Village
• Take First LeftTurn to stay on Reynolda Village
• Veer Right toward Bridge and Reynolda Walking Trail
• Continue Right across Bridge
• Right on Faculty Dr toward Timberlake Ln.
• Left on Wingate Rd.
• Right on Wake Forest Rd.
• Left on Wingate Rd. (Past Sports Field)
• Veer Right and Continue on Wingate Rd. (Do Not Continue Straight on Carroll Weathers Dr.)
• Left on Polo Rd.
• Left on Reynolda Rd.
• Return to Reynolda Presbyterian

Total Mileage: 3.6

The Gun

This post is obviously not in YHC’s normal rotation.  This being said I created a new workout cadence called TRABATA.  It involves four rounds with 30 seconds of exercise each followed by 10 seconds of rest.  It’s as hard to understand as it is to write…

• Merkins
• Squats
• LBCs
• Monkey Humpers

Announcements

• Looking for something to do Tuesday?  YHC has Redline Q.  Come if you dare!
• Heart Walk  – November 11th – Workout 0630 followed by parking patrol – Need at least 20 volunteers – Watch for Tweet from Pony Express
• Convergence – November 11th – Speas Elementary (Purgatory) 0700 – If you are not participating in the Heart Walk festivities then converge at Purgatory
• Remember the mission of F3 – “The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.” – Get FNGs involved quickly, don’t be scared to Q, pick up the six and get to KNOW the new guys!

Circle of Trust

YHC took us out thanking Him for giving us this community and asking Him to give us the strength and knowledge that we, as individuals, have the ability to change the world.  Juice Box reminded us of the power of prayer which we send to those involved in the Texas shooting.

Naked Man Moleskin

• YHC was glad to see Balco posted to the workout as the stroll through Wake Forest was to honor his day of celebration.
• YHC led the group just long enough to run through The Estate’s warm-o-ramma. Cobra let me know that was a dick move but had no problem following me!
• Mongoose pointed out that we could run on the Reynolda Walking Trail.
• Litter Box took my pre-workout Tweet literally by leap-frogging a caution pole at the end of the Reynolda Walking Trail to ensure he did not meet the same demise as the gentleman in the GIF.
• Bueller? ran by me and said he had not seen me in a while.  In my mind I thought that he would not see me for long with how quickly he was running.
• Drano has been working on his gymnastic body for over a year. I did not see any gymnastics but he sure can run!
• Plunger used me as a wind breaker until we hit Reynolda and he turned on the afterburners.
• Mongoose was not happy with the nontraditional TABATA.  This being said, he needed to listen more carefully.  I was saying TRABATA.  Get it? TR + TABATA?
• I have been to quite a few workouts but this was one of the gassiest.  As I look back on the TRABATA exercises we did move things in a downward motion.  I will remember this for future Qs.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead a great group of men!
