Rebel Yell Double-down

Posted on behalf of Hairball.

19 pax arrived under the lights and humidity of Stonecrest shopping center for YHC’s V-Q.

The Thang:

COP:

SSH x20
Imperial Walkers x 20
Mountain Climbers x25

Partner up – speed matters (VQ lesson 1- should have included biceps matter. See below)

Mosey to Firebirds wall

Complete 3 exercises – partner 1 exercise, partner 2 run to Smashburger, around median, back to wall. Flapjack.

Exercises
1- step ups
2- dips
3- derkins

Plank until everyone done. RAH, RLH, regular, LAH, RAH, 6 inches

Each pair of partners count off. After some grumbling about things coming off rails, the pax were able to count off to 9 teams. (VQ lesson 2- the pax don’t like to count off more than once). Mosey to the steep hill behind Wendy’s.

Partner race up steep hill x 2
Plank up on curb. When team number called, partner 1 and partner 2 race to the crest of the hill – starting from plank position. Winner gets 10 merkins, loser gets 10 burpees. The pax were then faced with a difficult question “Are you a gambling man?” Loser of the first trek up the hill could “double down” and defer the burpees to the loser of the second race up the slope. Two teams were feeling lucky (see: courage) and doubled down. Double down winner picks up a total of 20 merkins, while the loser is was saddled with 30 burpees. Poor communication of instructions or questionable math skills led to fewer than YHC expected pax paying up on burpees. Haze gave the pax a 10 count before the mosey to Murderhorn.

Mosey to (past) bottom of Murderhorn to boulder pile beside neighborhood pool. Partner 1 pick a boulder. Here’s where selecting partners with similar strength came into play. YHC’s partner, Crabcake picked the biggest boulder in the pile. Partner 1 Curls with boulder #gunshow, partner 2 run to top of Murderhorn. (VQ lesson 3 – venturing beyond the stop sign at the bottom of Murderhorn makes for a long scramble back up.) In the interest of time, “Top of the hill” was audibled to 2nd street light. Radar stroked YHC’s confidence saying this was a “veteran Q audible”.

Toss boulders back in pile. Run to (real) top of MH.

Mary-

LBC x20
Flutter x 15
FM x20 (Haze cadence)

Splinter gave us a 10 count before the mosey back to Elm Rd crossing

Jailbreak run to cars

3 mins left – Dolly x 21 #lucky

Moleskin:

Strong work this morning gentlemen. Humidity was killer as it has been recently. Radar appreciated the VQ jitters noting YHC had been on site since 0430.

Great seeing WB Vineyard out bright and early. At age 14, YHC was not chasing hills and curling boulders at 0530 during summer vacation.

Much appreciation for the support, patience, and mockery from the pax this AM during my first Q. Similar appreciation for the tolerance of the stench from sweaty gloves.

TClaps to Haze for taking us out in prayer
