DORA and her two friends named Cindy visit UA

QIC: Van Gogh

Date: 01/18/2019

PAX: Dr. Suess (WB), Root Canal (WD), Jar Jar, Chisel, Blue Steel, Snookie, Mutton, Whirly, TSA, Posthole, Zima, Litterbox, Bevo, Cheesteak, Van Gogh (QIC)

It was brought to YHC’s attention that my Q’s at #UA are somewhat predictable… there will be some bear crawls. Also known to the PAX is that YHC likes to do Pull-ups. So for this mornings beatdown, YHC decided to really dig in hard to those known facts so as to not let anyone down. A tough set was put together that would give the PAX their money’s worth, be worth their time driving in/out, and live up to their expectations of YHC.

CoT

• YHC Put out a reminder to the PAX for the upcoming 01/26 Sexual Chocolate Celebration at #ImpossibleSituation, followed by Breakfast and Brews Coffeeteria at the Foothills Brewpub immediately after. Hope to see ya’ll there!
• @Bevo put out a heartfelt prayer request for familes with special needs children. He stated that divorce rates are 30% higher for couples with special needs children. So we prayed for patience, understanding, and that they lean on God in stressful times.
• Call from @Cheesesteak for PAX to donate blood, as there is a high need for it currently. @Whirly rose to the occasion saying he would do so if any PAX would join him.
• @Mutton put out a prayer request for his M who is undergoing some tests to figure out stomach issues she has been having.
• YHC took us out lifting up the prayer requests and giving thanks for the ability and motivation to come out and be amongst great men of God to start our day.

NMM

• @Chisel showed up in shorts and a t-shirt this AM, after which we all immediately looked at @Zima wondering what he was doing in long sleeves. About 2 seconds later @Zima immediately rolled his sleeves up after stating “I need to keep a t-shirt in my truck!”
• @Zima also is not a fan of disclaimers when no FNGs are around… but the Mission Statement is mandatory IMHO, and a quick reminder about safety never hurt anyone!
• @Snookie expressed concern we might have to repeat the Mission Statement at some point or risk punishment, but YHC thought the PAX would be punished enough just from posting.
• BIG Q Fail to start us of this AM as YHC started doing “Abe Vigodas” instead of “Whirly with a Clap” in front of the man himself! YHC declared his failure, expressed #Kobains, and we continued on.
• Nice to meet @DrSuess who is apparently a 21 year old PA? Should have named him #Doogie… which then made us think about @Hedwig who has been working his butt off being a Doctor and missing posts! #ComeBackSoon
• The first round of Cindy was met with no surprise from the PAX who know YHC loves pull ups. @Bevo asked if YHC was squating low enough after YHC hollered at @Litterbox to get his butt up (to which @Litterbox immediately fixed with ease). Thanks for the form check @Bevo!
• @TPS pondered if he was doing his merkins on top of a buried body under the tracks since the gravel had an odd bump there (and was possibly squishy).
• @Cheesesteak has excellent form on everything he does, watch this guy if you are unsure how to do an exercise.
• Great to see @BlueSteel this morning! He said he’s in a GAS group that meets Fridays, but felt a bit Hypocritcal if he only went to that… F3 is all 3Fs, so I don’t think you need to feel bad… but am glad you felt that way if the guilt is what got you to post! Strong work this AM.
• @JarJar let out some flying Bear Crawls towards the end of our DORA, breezing past YHC seemingly unphased by the previous rounds…
• @Mutton found a great modification of the Wall Sit Kicks which was simply lifting the leg straight up (due to knee issues). YHC tried it a few times and it gives a totally different type of burn.
• Our resident War Daddy, @RootCanal, didn’t live up to his “Dr. Toot Canal” alias this AM, for which YHC is very greatful. Though he did put out a disclaimer that Incindiary was at great risk during his return bear crawls when the building was in the crosshairs.
• Great to see @Posthole has become a #UA regular, and even has his VQ coming up at #Mayhem in February! Even has a sense of confidence about it, saying he’s ready. #HIM
• @Zima somewhat prophetically stated that #Cindy was fun and asked if we could do it again after our first time through. The PAX didn’t believe YHC that it was always the plan to go back there; but hey, at least @Zima got what he asked for!
• @Whirly commented that #UA felt a bit like #TRQ with the lack of running this AM, which was mostly true until the long way back took us over a mile for the morning (though approximately half was Bear Crawls). Don’t want to disappoint anyone!

All around great work this morning from every single PAX. Not an easy designed beatdown, and YHC struggled to complete those bear crawls. We did basically the equivalent of half a Murph this morning, witch two rounds of Cindy and a mile travelled… but all those Bear Crawls makes YHC think it was a bit more difficult. Thanks to every PAX who posted this AM despite the Business-40 closing… hopefully the extra time it took to get there was worth it! Thanks for the keys, @Cheesesteak! Calling all PAX to step up and make it easier for him to get some Q’s on the upcoming calendar!
