YHC was confirmed to cover the Q by @Zima on Tuesday, and the short prep led to planning a Beatdown short on memorization, but high in pain. Getting inspiration from both @Goofy’s Magnificent 7 and use of cardboard, plus a recent viewing of “Spider-Man: Homecoming”; a plan for The Sinister Six (Group of Spiderman villains) was put together. Would it be considered cheating to have a lap around the track count as one of my 6 exercises? For the purpose of time and YHCs slight OCD need to do 6 iterations, I thought it worth risking getting called out by the PAX!

CoT
- Prayer request for those affected by the Tornado in Greensboro
- Prayer request for @TouchMeNot’s M who is 24 weeks pregnant
- YHC owes two #Kobains to @TMN… 1) For declaring this request for him without knowing if this was a widely known fact… and 2) Upon @TMN saying this knowledge was ‘percolating’ YHC gave an immature reply of “Something was percolating!” #BadJoke
- Prayer request for YHC for upcoming travel to New Jersey for the Spartan Ultra and safety uring the race.
- YHC took us out giving thanks for all 3 F’s, and lifting up our prayer requests.

- Not only was @Mongoose there this morning, but he put in some EC via RIRO to from the AO! #TeachersPet
- 12 PAX (=6 pairs) was the perfect number for the Sinister Six beatdown!
- No one complained that running was 1 of the 6, but I did receive some “kind” feedback about the delayed announcement of getting out your headlamps… which was only because last time YHC went to the lower playground at #Mayhem, the PAX declined to take YHCs second headlamp. #CatEyes #YouShouldHaveOneInYourCarAnyway
- Thanks to the Site Q @Zima who took some scouting photos for YHC, lots of good pull-up options here! #InHisBackyard
- The PAX put in 2-miles today, and a total of 36 Burpees, 72 Pull-Ups, 108 Merkins, 144 Low Squat Pulses, and 180 Reverse Crunches.
- Squat Pulses were chosen to semi-force the PAX to move in the lower range of their squat, and Reverse Crunches are a fun variation on a plank where abs are used to move the hips upward. Both suck.
- Nice to partner up with @TouchMeNot and talk about the kids and life. #TClaps again on the pending 2.2!
- #Kotters to @1040EZ, whom I have not seen in a while. Good to see you back out in the Gloom!
- Glad to see @RedEye wasn’t holding a grudge for flying solo at #TheOuthouse earlier this week. #NotCool
- @Splash said he hated YHC this morning. #MissionAccomplished
- YHC contemplated giving @Litterbox ankle weights to slow him down this morning… gave him my bright headlamp instead so we could see him speeding around.
- @TPS was cruising right along this AM, always a pleasure!
- Nice to meet @Tupperware this morning! (Possibly for the second time)
- I only ever seem to see @Quiver and @Offsides at #Mayhem… need to get some other Site Qs to lure these guys elsewhere for a Q! Guarantee it’d be a tough beatdown.
- @Offsides was the War Daddy today… Though you never would have known it! #Respect
- Fun to hear @Mongoose and @Zima pick on each other a bit this morning instead of only me…
Thanks for the keys to your backyard, @Zima!
