Well the thought that I had in my head vs. how it actually came out are two separate events. Normally I don’t have a weinke and everything goes well. Guess this shows that being unprepared is better. We started promptly at 5:31, Hairball was already questioning the q’s commitment to the pax. After a brief COP where the jokes were rampant about the q, we stated the thing. In my head I really thought that the Hairburner partner work should be okay. Only thing I didn’t think about is how to get them back. After realizing it and several confused looks from the pax we were able to fix and get back on track. The second part down at the baseball fields was going well until some backlash came on the 150 call on the tri extensions. Several members were not pleased with it and there was several instances of audible being called. After the cinderblocks were put away we started the peoples, everything was going great until we got to about 65 and there was a ton of complaining. Once we rounded the 130 mark again more disgruntled pax. We closed in Mary and in true Hairball form there was a call for JLo. You do NOT want to be known as the guy that does the J Lo workout. Strong work out there today by everyone. Everyone except the usual suspects were quiet. The cold is starting to wear on everyone.

The day started with a viewing of various parts of the AO to see what would be feasible under harsh “wintry conditions”. The decision was made for us to head to Davie park mainly because every other area was completely iced over. Got a last minute text from Spackler that thought differently of places to post because the side walk had too much ice. Nonsense. We can handle this. After a brief COP where Bulldog and Spackler made a spectacle of my wardrobe choices we were off. Not gonna lie that run over to Davie was a little dodgy at times. The ice was…..well…..ice. The partner work was apparently not enough of a workout for some so I decided to add some merkins to mix for good measure. It was great seeing Bulldog out there again. Great catching up. Once we got back at the launch Hairball mentioned that this is the second fast twitch type workout for Death Valley, he attempted to rename the site Death Twitch. Great work out there by all. Everyone had pent up energy from staying in yesterday and eating too many brownies.

Well – it was wet today boys. The rain was not too bad at the beginning but after we got to the end of the AO it started pouring. Too late to turn back now, there was a good amount of mumble chatter out there. Can only imagine which commercials everyone was quoting. The Rock hold was something that Splinter thought up but apparently stole it from “The Rock” this weekend. A little bit of refusenik almost took place by some.
Strong work running through the muck today boys. Bugeater is getting BRR ready with Hopper. One Eye and Bout Time leading the pack gassed YHC. Baracus as usual was out in full force. Flutie Flakes was discussing Fast Twitch tomorrow not sure I will be there. Steinbrenner was doing great and it was great seeing you again.

So it all began with an auto correct tweet from last night. That could have brought out more pax but could also lead to an international incident. Anyways after some explaining and disclaimer (including twitter disclaimer) we were off.
Tons of Mumble chatter out there and a few semi-refusniks but all in all everyone wanted to get some good work in before the “wintry mix” started.
I have Q’d and posted here several times and I really wanted to explore the entire AO which I feel like we accomplished Albeit with a few almost mutiny’s. While we were running I had to get Lobstah Roll to lead some Mary because he is always at the front. Strong work! I had asked the SITE Q Header to help out but I guess that gets back to the refusenik status.
Glad to see some guys that I haven’t seen in a while and a few new people that I haven’t had a chance to meet. Blue Rino great seeing you again. Freedom great work out there as always. DD’s not a lot of chatter from you but great seeing you. Brew called for the burpees remember that! Stage coach almost took over the Q for the last minute of the workout……almost.
Header thanks for taking us out!

Apologies for the delay in sending. YHC was feeling under the weather on Sunday partly due to football and brown water. #pimpinainteasy.
As I approached the AO at 6:55 and didn’t see anyone with the exception of three cars I figured the cold has pushed some of the pax to sleep OR possibly to Thunderoad. #tistheseason. Haze and Frazier had come early to get in their 12 miler before the workout. I can only assume that their fear was my workout wasn’t going to be strong enough for them. Jamboree also came early and added a few miles to his day as well. Strong work.
Earlier this week YHC and Haze were talking about the workout and I decided to do the Murph as I have not done it yet and wanted to see what it was all about. I now realize why I haven’t done it. There was a LOT of MUMBLE chatter about the workout and several comments about how a few people should have gone to the rock instead. Anyways we were off. I was by far the slowest one out there so the rest of the Pax were already through have of their exercises before I got back. Teddy and Frazier along with Haze, Bug and Jamboree were running their second mile when I had to call mine early because I didn’t want anyone sitting around. Also I was beat.
We started the lifting circuit and more semi-refusniks were speaking up. The lifting became too much for some. Once we got to the circle of rocks and begin the rotation I felt that we needed to get some arm work in. I always like to rotate on the rocks to give everyone a chance to use a heavy one. The curls till failure was a favorite of mine, Jamboree and Bugeater kept it alive. Great work to everyone.

Showed up early to work on the weinke but figured the gopher would work. Stone Cold and Voodoo were doing the Pre-KB so I thought I would join. 500 swings later and more people there we set off for what would be a fun filled morning of pain exercises.
At first the pax were very chatty and talkative through the first part………Then came the call for the Gopher. Stage coach and a few others were curious of how it was going to work with this AO but I figured the timing would be right for the run up the hill and track work together. The ruck boys were not happy with me at all mainly because of the hill. We were off. At first the track guys were leading more so than the guys up the mountain but believe it or not it ended up shaking out about the same. There were SEVERAL calls for quitting but I had none of it and kept calling for more. YHC was called out by the Hoff that I wasn’t wearing a ruck so I threw that one and did the last one. Regretted grabbing it because the mountain was terrible with it.
The run out to the parking lot was the final straw for most. We circled up and called out Mary, we started with some flutters and Baracus was upset with my lack of bench on exercises for Mary. I tried to salvage it but it was too late. I was at exhaustion, hence the delay in posting this.
Sound off if I am missing anything.
