The challenge from YHC this year has been dubbed  “20×25” – fairly straightforward, there will be 20 sets of 25 rep. It won’t be every one of YHCs Qs, and it wont be announced ahead of time. So you’ll just have to hope you show up at the right one. It will be difficult. There will be at least 10 throughout the year. There will be a cool prize for those who attend above a certain threshold (TBD, likely 3).

CoT:

• Prayer for Rollback’s M, Leigh Anne, who is having her 7th shoulder surgery in attempts to figure out what’s going on with recurring pain
• Prayer for Lambchop’s M, Kelly, who has an upcoming procedure.
• Prayer for California fire and NC Helene victims
• YHC took us out lifting up prayer requests and giving thanks for the many things we take for granted.

NMM:

• Thus concluded 20x25v1.
• As evident by this morning, the 25 reps could be all at once like our Winston Square Reps, a combo like the deconstructed burp-ups, or broken up like the Corpening Plaza sets. It gives YHC more freedom in format, and keeps the PAX from knowing exactly what is coming.
• Ducky Contemplated busting out his puffer jacket this morning, but YHC told him he’d warm up quickly enough! Later on after he said he was warm, I told him I was glad because that meant he was getting his money’s worth.
• Spicoli texted before the beatdown and showed up just in time at the end of the Spicoli lap!
• Chick-Flick moves in 2 weeks! YHC was surprised to see him, having thought he moved already, but was glad he posted!
• Lambchop requested the parking deck immediately. Indeed, Corpening Plaza was windy and icy in parts, but once we got there – I’m not sure he was happy to be there!
• Rollback took the whole workout instride, leading the way back to the parking lot at the end. Is there anything he can’t do?
• YHC may have found Bagpipe’s kryptonite – Bear Crawling down stairs. As he pointed out, his arms aren’t as long as mine! He is also better looking than YHC and has more to lose if he slips!
• Madoff boldly gave a double HC on slack and via text message! Was glad to have him out representing WeFoCo in DTWS! He made it look easy, and hasn’t lost much strength (if any)  some becoming a fasthole!
• Three AO locations visited this morning, pretty solid considering some ice. The pedestrian bridge would have been nice, but surely it’s iced over! (And hella cold and breezy!)
• The watch didn’t record distance, but surely it was over 2 miles. 500 reps total, no one got hurt, everyone got their money’s worth.
• YHC is happy to take over the Flatline Site Q  duties until a better man is found. It’s one of my favorite workouts of the week, so I’ll carry on Chick Flicks legacy and ensure it is well run! Thank you for your time served, sir!! You are a true #HIM!
• I really want to encourage Qs to embrace the roots set by the AO’s Godfather (Beverly), which is that it should be a constant movement suck fest with no “Warm-o-Rama” ) that’s why you show up 5 minutes early)!

Well done, gents! Spicoli has the Q next week!
