Trifecta

Trifecta

This all started with EE and I trying to get HH to flip with us to cover next week’s Outland. After finding out he is also out next week, he texted back that one of us could cover half this week. EE’s text beat mine by a few seconds, a testament to his amazing texting skills, but being the gracious NC State grad that he is, he suggested we do thirds and thus an Outland Triple Q was born.

Pre-Thang:

EE, HH and GJ launched at 6 AM chasing Boondock on bike. I did manage my best HH imitation about half-way through with an emergency stop at McDs but still a solid 4 miles and pretty sure 10 pounds lost.

The Thang:
EE on Q:
SSH x 30 IC
IW x 25 IC
Burpees x 10 OYO
LSS x 20
Peter Parker x 10
Parker Peter x 10

Mosey all the way to the Top of Outland Mountain (approx 50 yards from VSF and could be classified as a hill but Mountain sounds way more awesome)

Welcome to Outland Mountain Suicides
Start at top of Mountain – 4 cones approx 40 yards apart heading down the hill
12 minutes all you got, exercise at each cone and sprint each run back to the top!
At top – 10 x Bombjacks
Cone #1 – 15 Man-Maker Merkins
Cone #2 – 10 x LSS
Cone #3 – 5 x Burpees
Cone #4 – 25 x Freddy Mercury

HH on Q

GJ on Q
Mosey to the basketball court
Everyone shoots a FT (2.0s get a layup and ruckers get a couple of steps in from the FT line). If you miss, the entire group does a called exercise. Make and we get to rotate to the next guy instead. Keep rotating until everyone has shot at least once
Series of exercises:
Merkins x 10
Squats x 10
LBCs x 20
Carolina Drydocks x 5
Total number of exercises completed (if memory serves me right):
Merkins: 60
Squats: 70
LBCs: 140
Drydocks: 40
Mosey back to pseudo-shovel flag area:
Dolly x 35

– Tri-Q Saturday was pretty awesome and would be a great way to introduce New Q’s for a 20 min lead. This could be a great way to introduce new Q’s or even Quad-Q in 15 min intervals.
– Even after disclaimer to be careful and watch your step running Outland Mt, GJ was the first victim to have his feet moving faster than his body #OnHisSix
– Welcome FNG Count to the Outland! He was a trooper talking about feeling like spilling Merlot, but holding it all in #FNGStrength
– Considering renaming Big Trade to Big Cheese! Selfies during COP? Really?

– Great work by everyone. Little bit of fun mixed in with EEs slip-n-slide (wait, maybe that’s just me sliding) for a solid beatdown.
– You guys are terrible free throw shooters. Well, except for TLS who brought out some Euro-style FT shooting percentages. It was funny to watch the FTs keep falling shorter and shorter after the exercises kept piling up. Starting with Merkins ensured lots of reps completed. Being a basketball fan, this won’t be the last time for this.
– Welcome to FNG The Count. So named because during the count-off at the end, his O2-dep made him forget 5 comes after 4 instead of 6. He and I work together so it’s great to see him out and I can testify that he is great at counting just not after way too many reps of exercises.

Announcement:
We will have Outland next week. Lots of regulars are out but The Late Show will Q it up. Thanks to TLS for leading.
