VQ Field of Dreams

VQ Field of Dreams

31 men showed up at Centurion this AM. There was a line of cars pulling in at 5:25AM ready to see what this VQ had to offer, which reminded me of what Kevin Costner witnessed from his family farm in the greatest movie of all time (at least for any Iowan like myself). Gave a brief disclaimer (graded as a C by Hops – but as a fellow Wake alum he knows all about grade deflation) and we were off.

Hill Work

Short mosey over to parking lot in next to big hill. Did sprints to bottom of hill 10 x merkins, up to top of hill 10 x merkins, back down to bottom 10 x merkins and then sprint back. Next set was 10 carolina dry docks, then 10 jump squats then 5 burpees

Ran back towards football stadium, partnered up. Shuffled the length of the football stadium to the bottom parking lot.

Partner Work

Partner #1 did a lunge walk the length of the parking lot and sprinted back. Partner #2 did incline merkins, dips, and pull-ups on ramp railing.  Goal was to get to 200 merkins, 200 dips, and 100 pull-ups together. After a few rotations, YHC calls the exercise off early as most teams had completely lost track of their count.

Garage Work

Did a modified suicide run up the ramp, coming back half way, and then all the way back. Ended with some more Mary (dolly and flutter) and then all-you-got back to the launch point for some COT.

Moleskin

Really enjoyed my VQ experience with this great PAX, especially with lots of men who were at Anvil when I first posted almost a year ago. Big group to manage for my first go-round, but the energy was great and I didn’t hear too much grumbling. Time flew by and modifications and an audible had to be made accordingly. I was too busy trying to keep track of time to notice who killed it, but great efforts all-around.

I know now to avoid higher-level math in the future so as to not cause trouble for the non-accountants in this PAX.

T-caps to everyone who pitched in to help with the site clean-up at 5AM (Margo, Lorax, Hops, Abacus, Van Pelt and others). It was the cleanest clean-up I have ever participated in so I’m guessing students have been serving detentions outside recently.

Announcements

Convergence at Calvary at 7AM tomorrow, includes 3 citations from solders who died in battle and 100 burpees in silence. Should be incredible.

JRR Tolkien announced that about $29k has been raised for Speed-4-Need. Amazing.

Also, congrats to Tool Bag for his soon-to-be new baby!
