YHC is a fan of Mayhem. Both the AO and injecting chaos into regularly scheduled beatdowns. Even more chaos was added by mixing in 4 young PAX today. Mayhem is where YHC first introduced F3WS to the Rock Crawl. It almost feels wrong to NOT have it included when YHC Qs… today was no exception. Throw in the fact that school was out and the entrance road was fair game, a plan was afoot!

NMM

  • 1.5 miles traversed in total, with some long runs, and some long bear crawls
  • 4 very young PAX joined us this morning, as either some kind of punishment for bad behavior at the start of summer, or a clever method of getting them to sleep most of the day. Either way, these young gentlemen performed admirably!
  • YHC and Hansel managed to chase down Recess on the first run up the Hill To Nowhere… we both regretted it. 
  • Speaking of regret… Hansel and Cruiser both picked up boulders from the rock pile. Cruisers Thrusters were half his normal speed (but still faster than the average PAX), and I’ve nver seen Hansel so close to death after the last rock crawl. Great push gentlemen!
  • One of the younger PAX discovered on the ground an unopened, square shaped, foil wrapped object with a circle in it. This object is not something the young PAX would be familiar with yet, but they were quick to ask questions about it and then attempt to open it before being stopped and told to put it down. Was a very stressful, comical, and distracting event for the Q. 
  • Subfloor was confused by YHCs description that this workout would be a journey and not a repeating beatdown… which was a poor description. #QFail. The Q meant to say we were going to be doing a long sequence of events, rather than just repeat a few things over and over before moving on, which was true because we did travel all over in between repeated exercises groups.
  • YHC reminded Splash of a beatdown he attended years ago where YHC was Qing and had PAX doing burpees along the entrance road. He wasn’t fond of it then, and didn’t seem fond of it today. Though, YHC will tell you he hasn’t lost a step in the years between!
    • For the uninitiated, a rock crawl is bear crawl while alternating arms to push a rock in front of you. It is a last resort modification to put both hands on the rock and “slide” it.
  • Animal was literally laying on the ground and pretending to sleep after Mary.
  • White Claw and Jolly Rancher worked through most of the beatdown today and have progressed significantly since the last time YHC saw them post. 
  • Workbench, being the great site Q that he is, texted YHC a friendly reminder on Tuesday morning about Qing. #Leadership #GoogleAndSlackBrokeTheAutoPreBlast

 

Thanks for the keys, Workbench, YHC carefully slid them under the discarded square foil package in the parking lot.
