Great group today out there pushing it. Very happy to see some new faces out there today. Appreciate the opportunity to Q a this site! So many people out there pushing it everyday inspiring others to push hard. It is amazing that you really do get out of it what you put into it. I have a deep appreciation for those that Q frequently and come up with new ideas to keep thing fresh.

Appreciate the opportunity to Q. I do not always fully appreciate the thoughtfulness that many of the Q’s have when designing a workout. It seems simple when you are participating but, when laying it out on paper it is much more difficult. Cheers to the guys who Q regularly and manage to keep it exiting and challenging.
The Warmup:
Mosey to entrance and gather around mysterious parked car
SSH (bad count); Imperial Walkers, Moroccan night clubs, Downward dog transition to upward dog. Move to calf stretch then Jimmy Dugans

This was my VQ and appreciate the push by Posse , Fuse Box and Chastain to lead. What I lacked in originality I made up for in excitement. It was fun experience not being in the back of the pack for the opening mosey, not sure if it was Q adrenalin or others struggling in the cold or me not giving clear instructions on where to go. I did not fully appreciate how challenging it can be to call the cadence while working out and recovering from the run.
Everyone worked their butt off and some said they were exhausted which is very full filling.
Appreciate the crew that braved the cold to support me today. It was so cold my speaker did not work properly. This has been an incredible journey and everyone needs a push to get out of their comfort zone. While running through my Q in my head yesterday I came to the discovery that most of the frequent Q’s have a signature move that they incorporate into every workout. Example Fuse box workouts almost always has a bear crawl involved and Chastain has the donkey kick / monkey humper double punch. I need some time on what will be my signature move for my next Q.
