Frosty Escalator to nowhere – with a side of bubbly

Frosty Escalator to nowhere – with a side of bubbly

Completely Veteran crew of 20 decided to start their Saturday off right and ignored all the Twitter chatter about how tough it was going to be.

Quick disclaimer was given and off we went.

Short mosey to the frozen fields for a quick COP.

5 burpees oyo
15 Imperial Walkers in cadence (mumble chatter started ramping up here – YHC said he had turned over a new leaf and no more angry Q – so the pax were trying to prove that wrong)
5 burpees oyo
10 slow pause squats – in cadence
5 burpees oyo
5 slow pause merkins – in cadence
5 burpees oyo

Everyone appeared to be warming up – so enough of that on to the main event:

YHC hasn’t posted on Saturday in a while – normally keep Saturdays open for the 2.0s but when Hairball asked YHC to come Q at DZ – YHC couldn’t pass it up. YHC’s second F3 post ever was at a then site Q’d by Haze and Radar Day Zero and it was also the site of YHC’s first Q.

Thanks for the opportunity to come back out and Q and for coming out in the cold and joining me.
This one was a smoker – have done the escalator before but only up to 25 – charted new territory with the 30. Maybe next time YHC will try 40.

YHC also said he had turned over a new leaf, but the old angry Q did arise a couple times due to some interesting form on jump squats – wanted to make sure Haze got his money’s worth and wasn’t disappointed.

It was a really great veteran group out today – most pax YHC has been posting with since he started F3 2.5 years ago. It makes the workouts, if not fun, at least manageable.

Great to see Philmont back out again – we have missed you man – glad to have you back out.
Also great to have Radar’s new 4.0 – Murphy join us – that dog is going to be a beast.

Thanks again for joining YHC out today for a “fun” time – it really was a great group of guys – and an honor to lead this group.

Lots of chatter today so YHC knows he missed some – shout out below and share.

For those keeping track here are the statistics:
200 burpees, 180 jump squats, 180 diamonds, 180 box cutters (which hurt more than expected) and over 1000 yards of running.
