Yes, Hydra is tomorrow.
Yes, it has been a week since my Q.
Yes, I am normally a same day backblast sort of Q, but there was a lot of justice to be doled out this week, and I knew I couldn’t show my face at OPE tomorrow morning without posting this. So, here goes:
Q comes in hot on foot at 5:30 and a few seconds. Immediate line up for Indian run to shopping center. Serious police presence along the route. Someone, our valiant site Q Puddin Pop I believe, saves us all from falling to a our deaths into some sort of construction/utility related hole in the sidewalk. #Qfail #wherethesidewalkends

Run back to school without attempt at organization, now on the look out for the Saddam Hussein spider hole. Pretty brisk pace back to school — pax got spread out a bit.

Sprints back and forth doing 5 of designated exercise when Q calls HIT
2 down and backs with hand release merkins (8 hits for 40 reps, I think)
Same with jump squats
2 down and backs with burpees (somewhere between 6-8 hits, not sure)
Smoked Q (random SSH x 10 in middle of workout when Q is smoked)
Hot Lap around the school, finishing with 10 burpees OYO
NMM: Well, I was smoked. The pax seemed pretty well worked over also, though there may have been a few (or more) refuseniks on the death spiral and the final set of burpees. All in all lots of good work was done. Cobains for the delay on the backblast. Work, kids, kids and work. I’m sure I have misremembered some of this, but it was over 3 miles, a ton of upper body and a reasonable amount of Mary. There may have been announcements, which I have forgotten but would be moot by now anyway. I’m still looking for one more guy for Palmetto 200, 9 man team (March 18-19).
Thanks to Puddin Pop and Good Hands for the opportunity.
