  • QIC: Handshake
  • The PAX: Pinto, Honeydo, Roger Roger, Atilla, Wojo, Bacon Bits, Tater, Ronnie, Lighthouse, Gomer, Handshake

11 men launched with the hopes of keeping dry and this is what transpired

Mosey around the track to the far side of the field, enter the field for COP of misc. exercises. It was then determined that running on the field with Blocks was not advisable *denial number 1*

Mosey down to Heartbreak, closer to the school for the normally drier area. Too damn sloppy. *denial number 2*

Mosey up the the raised field for a semi-sloppy/frozen Four Corners. Compounding Four Corners with Merkins, Squats, LBC’s, and SSH’s, then descending.

Mosey to the Tennis Courts, complete icy mess. *denial number 3*

Mosey up to Pemberton Elementary and shuffle across the parking lot and the back asphalt to the covered Bus Loop.

Buss Loop Partner work: P1 runs to the far end while P2 does and exercise. Rotate and work one pole back each round to get to the stop.

Mosey back to the front of Quioccasin Middle, watch Ronnie run and pounce onto frozen Asphalt and almost kill himself.

Touch a tree, 2 rounds: P1 touches 10 trees P2 does Dips, rotate. Second round P1 touches 5 tress P2 Incline Merkins.

Mosey back to the flag for a quick ring of fire and it was 0615.

NMS – YHC had a couple things planned but between black ice and wet ground it was a day of audibles. YHC appreciates the Pax’s tolerance of a lot of improv. The quote of the day was, “this is how you melt the muffins off.” YHC isn’t sure how many times Gomer said it, but it was more than 3 and less than 6 times. Thank you for to the Pax for coming out to celebrate YHC’s 37th year.

    Good Q, happy birthday and you did a good job with some strange conditions. I dont think anyone expected all that dang ice

    Great Q Handshake – I enjoy the improv. It was fun being back out with the crew.

    YHC was attempting to counter the number of times PAX noted the obvious on weather conditions. Admittedly, ice on top of the heartbreak sponge is something to experience and the best way is to experience it is through LBCs and HRMs.

    Gitty up!

    Happy Birthday Handshake. It’s amazing that we all made it without a casualty. Clearly the laws of physics (i.e. that ice generally doesn’t form when it’s above 32 deg) doesn’t apply to the Ridge. I checked – it never dipped below 36 – WTF.

    I love that the Q took us to the football field to start. What’s that thing where you lay on a bed of nails to help your back in eastern medicine? That was how I felt doing the LBCs in the field.
    Also loved that Ronnie refused to move out of the inside lane on the track even though it was 100% ice. Maybe by April we’ll get a dry HBR.
