At Hoedown today, we had 15. Someone said today was like purgatory. I took that as a compliment because there is a worse place than purgatory. It started like this.

I detected an increase in the level of complaining. Perhaps a change of scenery would help. And so we moved to the asphalt playground.

It was great to have this group to lead today! If you haven’t already, I encourage you to be the Q. You get an additional amount of adrenaline so you’re able to do more. You’re in control. You can back off when you get sufficiently tired. And it’s always amazing knowing that the pax will actually follow your lead!
One standard I’ve been a slack about is the disclaimer at the beginning of the workout. We should always do this.
Below is what I found on F3nation.com. I think I need to work up a shorter version.
