NMS —
YHC will miss all you guys for the next month while he is gone on a family vacation whose original plans started a long time ago when the kids were young and watched a documentary on the redwoods. It was at that point that the vision of this great cross country trip first started. It is now much bigger than YHC could have even imagined at the very beginning.
People’s reactions when we tell them what we are doing range from “That sounds like an amazing vacation” to “You’re crazy!” We have thought the same things going through this process.
Anyhow, the workout went pretty well — everyone loved the 10 minutes of Burpees just as much as YHC loved them the first time he experienced them at 45 MOM a few months back and the second time a short while ago at the Gridiron.
Kudos to Sugarsock for kicking butt on the four faces of Rushmore. Those roll ups were tough after about 10.
Will post pics of YHC and family planking in front of Mt Rushmore for you all on Twitter.
See you soon

Excellent Q, Opus. I thought about picking a higher number per minute on the burpees, but quick, oxygen-deprived math told me to add a 0 to whatever number and then ask myself if I can do that many in 10 minutes, with correct form. So I settled on Lucky-7’s with some extra credit on the last round. Great idea, I think I’ll steal that one in a future Q.
Enjoyed partnering up with you, Spike. You were a beast on those bear crawls!
It was nice to put faces with the names of some more of the Mechanicsville PAX, and to see so many 2.0’s out. Great job all, way to work!
It was my pleasure to lead you this morning! I had a whole bunch more planned… save it for the next time around!
Awesome Q Opus! I wasn’t the same after the 10 minutes of burpees. and don’t remember much after that. What a great workout. have a fantastic road trip! Great to see all the 2.0s and 1.0s.
