1)      Breaking the routine gets the PAX’s attention.  When we turned left onto the track (rather than the traditional right turn) for the warm up lap, Tiger Rag was heard to say “We are going backwards, I don’t like this already”.   Good to see people notice the little things.

2)      YHC liked the rolling merkin, but across the field was too long.  Duly noted.

3)      Singing “Great American Hero” during Superman is becoming a DV tradition. 

4)      As a first time Q, I’d recommend it to anyone.  Best perk is that you know what is coming next in the workout.

Several Unsavory (BS) calls were shouted during the rolling merkins as we were halfway across the field! I was so dizzy that I didn’t know if I could Sprint the 200 yards back to the starting point.

This was a great workout and great job on your first Q Uncle Leo. T-Clap brother!

Agreed. Strong effort by Uncle Leo despite upsetting The Way of Things by making right turns on the track. That’s enough of that, mister.
