The 3 Bears and Goldilocks
QIC: Tonka
Date: 11.28.2023
PAX: Ziggy Stardust, Spicoli, Drama Queen
Ziggy Stardust and YHC partnered up for our typical clown car with a brisk 27 degrees showing on the weather app. Arriving a few minutes before 0530, both of us not so secretly hoped my late preblast went amiss and no PAX would be waiting for us in the parking lot. Alas, two humming automobiles with headlights illuminating the steam issuing from their frosty windshields awaited us, so we ventured out to meet them and the beatdown was like so:

Spicoli was keen on the Q’s warmorama being off the cuff. YHC was apparently lingering/thinking a little long between the warm up exercises (allotting too much time for the frost to set in on our sweat stains). That and the fact that the Q opted for Broga in 27 deg. Next time I’ll bring an air tight warm up for subfreezing temps.
Drama Queen posted for his first Flatline workout this morning on his quest to catch them all (AOs that is). He didn’t seem fazed by the Q’s attempt at a iron clad beatdown, so he’ll need to come back when he’s posed with more of a challenge.
Ziggy said he went “a little heavy on the Stardust this morning” before the workout. You’ll need to decide for yourself what that means, but he seemed to float though the workout without a sweat.
We were all greatly appreciative of the parking garage’s retained heat this morning. It brought much comfort on an otherwise frigid morning. Some would dare say it was cozy.
The esteemed PAX assembled were chuckling at the Q’s War Baby-ness this morning at the conclusion of the beat down. The phrase, “it’s like the three bears and Goldilocks” was tossed out. I take it they all thought the work out was “not too hard, not too soft, but just right”. I’m picking up what you’re putting down fellas, and I’m flattered.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead this morning, Gents. I greatly enjoyed it.
