I’d keep playing. I don’t think the heavy stuff’s gonna come down for quite awhile.

First mistake was accepting Hairball’s Monday request to Q.  As the week went by I understood the motivation behind that “friendly” solicitation.  He must have majored in meteorology.  Early reconnaissance noted that the onsite Eagle Scout project of Philmont’s 2.0 was in need of some inaugural testing……so the Soul Crusher was pulled from the weinke file and loaded in the guns for the few brave men who showed.  After 36 hours of relentless threats, insults and headlocks, 6 men came to spit into the wind.  [T-claps to Fault Line for being the only one of the pax to post willingly and NOT as the result of significant duress].

Thang

Slow mosey around the Day Zero track looking for a dry spot (nope) and circle up on the basketball court.

COP

IW x 20 IC

MC x 15 IC

The SOUL CRUSHER:

1 Burpee

50 yard run

20 Merkins

50 yard run

5 pull-ups [permission to modify to 5 dips]

Mosey back to start.

Rinse and repeat for 20 rounds, moving from 1 to 20 burpees, and 20 to 1 merkins, with the end point (5 pull-ups) staying constant.

Round out the hour with:

LBC x 20 IC

Flutter x 20 IC

Dolly x 20 IC.

Moleskin

Went from Wednesday’s heat to today’s gale storm.  I thought we were going to have to tie down during the last 2 rounds when the heavy stuff did, indeed, arrive….sideways.  Good work by all the pax today.  The Soul Crusher was the result of an ill-planned solo workout last spring.  Halfway through I realized, to my soul’s dismay, that this would leave a mark.  Our course was a little short on the runs, but the wind and rain compensated for that.  Surprisingly no threats directed at the Q.  Grapevine pounded these out like it was a stroll in the park.  T-Claps to the pax who refused to leave an old man alone on a Saturday workout.

Announcments

None.  (Ark building begins at noon.)

#Cobains IH. Just realize I nearly duplicated your post title. Thankfully, I’m probably off a word or two. Great minds…and all that.

I’d accuse you of stealing your title from my tweet this morning, but I know you don’t know how to use the Twitter. At least you beat High Tide to it.

Looks like a tough workout – probably why the current and former site-Qs skipped it. Well played by them.

For the record, I texted IH last night and said I was not going if it was raining or wet. I told him if anyone cared about him they would do the same so all he had to do was drive there and leave when no one showed. People can be so selfish. Also, IH was my Q wend and I am doing church on the street with him tomorrow. Let’s be honest. No one needs to see me that often. Hairball had a baby like 3 years ago.

Nice lead Iron Horse – I would say that was some fine mud run prep.
