An empty slot on the Q sheet normally means a hot potato is in order but YHC took today’s potato Swirly style. A couple new faces at Twin Team so why not show them why we named the AO after a back road. A quiet crowd awaited 0530. Not a minute sooner (looking at you OC) we moseyed to the bus loop for a quick warmup before backtracking and heading to the bottom of Twin Team, stopping along the way for various exercises. The main event is a modified Jacobs Ladder on the hill. 10 strides, 1 burpee, back to…

QIC: Nancy Lopez
The PAX: Hermie, BoBerry, PeeDee, Punx, Bullseye, Doozey, Honeymoon, POG, Marmaduke

YHC saw the open Q slot so he jumped on the opening at his favorite AO “The Wolf”. Time to get going on my second Q and hopefully the cadence thing is now worked out. This and my son of all things picked an exercise dice at Dave and Busters from the ticket/junk store (only cost me $40) and I was dying to try it out. YHC was eager to get to the gloom and showed up 5 minutes early for an awaiting Pax. Kudos to Marmaduke, POG and Honeymoon for logging some early extra credit miles. 10 gloom warriors…

Is it hard to Q?

By Rosie on October 3, 2019

When: 10/3/19
QIC: Rosie
The PAX: Last Call, Sea Doo, Fresh Prince, Rosie

Small crowd showed up at the Forge for some hard work on this warm October morning. Before the prescribed start time Last Call inquired about the difficulty of a Q. No, it’s not hard; have a plan, know the plan, plan extra since the PAX are always faster than you think and prepare to not sleep much the night before. That said with the Q sheet empty, (Vinny?), YHC let the other 3 know the Q would be passed to them at some point so prepare accordingly. Mosey to the cul-de-sac for some warm up exercises. Next up, Love Hill…

What’s an EMOM?

When: 10/2/19
QIC: Orange Crush
The PAX: Lug Nut, Doozey, Tobit, Rosey, Mousetrap, Wedding Singer, Punxsutawney, Nancy Lopez, Peedee, Hermie, Bullseye, Two Pop

12 admirable and able men showed up for the OC experience. One never knows quite what will happen when YHC’s name appears on the Q sheet. Today was no different. There were a few ups and downs, but in summary – there were laughs, YHC got the cadence and workout mostly correct and we got a decent workout in. We’ll call it a win. The PAX departed 1 minute early and they were sure to let YHC know of the early start time. Grumbling aside, a short mozey down the hill to the field for warmup. Just after the warmup…
