Showing up is half the battle

Showing up is half the battle

So quick back story General was soliciting Blackhawk Q Signups for December about 6 weeks ago, the only day YHC knew for sure I’d be home was Dec 9th so of course I fill one of the open slots.  Fast forward a few weeks and realize that’s the morning after my work Christmas party.  Alas I tried as hard as I could but the pull of the open bar was too strong to be a responsible adult and I found myself looking for keys at 620 the next morning only to realize we had Ubered home.  Anyway if showing up is half the battle then I completed exactly half the battle, General bailed me out of my Q duties and survived the hour (50 minutes since I was late) without puking.  Fast forward a week and General needs a Q time to redeem myself.  I pull in a minute late and off we go.

Warm up (General departs for the heated restroom)

1/4 mile

SSH

Civilian Merkins

Imperial Walkers

Next up is the Burpee Mile

10 burpees + 1/4 mileish lap around the pond x 4

After regrouping on the six (guess who) we mosey to the tennis court parking for some dealer choice

Atlas/Erector – Can’t remember…….

Fallout – Boxcutter

General – 5 merkins, 5 wide arm merkins, 5 diamond merkins, 10 stagger right/left

Ringer – Build A Burpee

YHC – Morrocan Nightclubs

Followed up by Bearcrawl to the other end of the parking lot

Mosey to the EMS Station for 20 Carolina Dry Docks and then back to the launch.

10 minutes left and off to the hill for Burpback Mountain with Squats replacing burpees.  Burpback Mountain = Partner 1 doing squats while Partner 2 runs the hill 5x for a total of 200 squats.

Back to launch for Pistol Crunch & LBC then done.

Moleskin

No prerun for this guy but General did a 9 mile prerun and the rest of the PAX took on the usual trail through Walnut Creek in addition to the 3.5 miles we covered during the workout.  As usual great group and great job by all.
