QIC: Turnover

Date: 5.13.2022

PAX: Burns (WB) , Drip , Post Hole , Tinker (F3 Columbus) , Schlitz , Doogie , Hansel , Undertow (WD) , Lambchop , Snake Eyes , Turnover (Q)

With the prospect of rain in the forecast, YHC decided to put together a beatdown that would keep the brave PAX that dared to post to #UA this morning as dry as possible. And boy did that pay off. There ended up being a very aggressive mist that was coming down for the majority of the beatdown. YHC’s benevolence spared the PAX from what surely would have been a very mild inconvenience. #You’reWelcome

The assembled PAX formed a (weirdly small) circle for Warm O Rama. YHC squeezed into said small circle, voiced his uncomfortability with the circle, recited the mission statement and CP’s and we were off.

Warm O Rama consisted of the Usual Suspects (SSHs, Abe Vigoda, IWs, Whirly, and Michael Phelps)

Once properly limbered up, we moseyed to the parking deck for

The THANG

On lowest level of deck (adjacent to train tracks) PAX partnered up.

Partner 1 would mosey to train tracks for 13 pullups while Partner 2 stayed and performed Bobby Hurley’s until Partner 1 returned. Partners then switched off.

Each PAX/Partner completed 5 sets/rounds of pullups.

Once complete, we moseyed up the short ramp to the first landing of the parking deck.

YHC and @Burns kicked off the morning w/ an EC 5k through DTWS that was as flat of a route as you’ll find in this city. Always enjoy getting in some extra work and the fellowship shared on those pre-runs.

The circle assembled for the warm up was a bit snug for YHC’s liking. Kinda felt like I might have been in danger. Turns out all these men were just itching to get after it. And get after it they did.

Was great meeting @Tinker from F3 Columbus as he’s in town for a couple different work projects. He was telling us about how F3 Columbus is experiencing some serious growth and how their Q calendar fills up so quickly its hard to get a spot. A nice problem to have.

Speaking of filling up the Q calendar, upon @PostHole’s request for #UA Q’s, @Lambchop responded with “You know where to find me. I liked to be asked”. This coming from the Site Q that sends out a quarterly email telling people that they’re signed up to Q. To which he responded “I like to be asked AND to tell”. Fair enough.

And to the surprise of nobody, @Lambchop had plenty of “feedback” during the beatdown. The feedback ranged from questioning the “symmetry” of the 5 sets of 13 model we followed for each portion of the beatdown to communicating threats to the Q if more burpees were called. A little jarring at first, but it’s hard to stay mad at the guy because he’s so darn nice.

Speaking of nice…@Drip was there. He was smiling, yadda yadda yadda, he didn’t get tired, yadda yadda yadda. You’ve heard it all before. The guy is nothing if not consistent.

Also, it turns out there is a secret formula to get @Snake Eyes to show up to a workout and that is to tag @Drip in the preblast. Duly noted.

Not long into the first grouping of 13 reps of 5 exercises, @PostHole wondered aloud in the Q’s direction what the deal was with 13 reps. YHC decided not to respond and allow young @PostHole to arrive at the significance on his own. Which he did a short time later. I felt like a father teaching his son an important life lesson. 5 exercises, 13 reps each. Today’s Date: 5.13. Some concepts are just too difficult for ECU grads to quickly grasp.

@Burns and @Lambchop wouldn’t stop talking about their tomatoes and other produce-growing endeavors. The only pause in these discussions was when @Burns nearly concussed himself on the roof of the parking deck whilst performing squat jacks. This led to a discussion on who specifically could be sued if someone sustained an injury during a beatdown if the legal disclaimer was not clearly stated. It was unanimously decided that it would be the Nan’tan. Definitely not the Q.

@Hansel has burst onto the F3WS scene in the last couple weeks. The dude is everywhere. Has been great getting to know him better this week and watch in awe as the guy absolutely dominates every beatdown. #Beast

Was great getting to meet @Doogie and @Schlitz today. Didn’t hear much MC from either of them during the beatdown, but from everything I saw they were killing it #gritty.

Sounds like F3 is really growing on @Schlitz as he been posting more and more. Also it sounds like he’s quickly developed a disdain for @Zima, especially after the latter’s Q at #Conspiracy this week. Welcome to the party, pal. You’re going to fit in just fine here.

Our #WarDaddy for the day, @Undertow, did not seem the slightest bit fazed by any called exercise. He was cruising all morning.

#UA is such an awesome AO and Q’ing there is always an honor. Thanks for the keys, @PostHole. Best of luck in getting a response from @Lambchop after you send him a notorized letter requesting his Q services at #UA.
