#YouWereWarned

So I had to skip out on my scheduled DZ Q back in December.  Probably had to take my kids somewhere, or cut the grass, or rearrange the sock drawer.  Who knows.  But none of those excuses were as lame as Radar’s excuse of Yoga and Soccer practice.

Prohibition asked me on Monday to make up my Q this week which I was happy to oblige.  The weinke called for multiples of 4 men.  We had exactly 16.  Sort of a good thing Radar had Yoga I guess.

Disclaimer – quite necessary this morning.

COP – No time for that.

The Thang –

Break into 4 groups of 4 men.  Each group grabs one stone from the pile, one 50# sandbag from the trunk and one 45# plate for the trunk.  Except for Prohibition who fished around to the bottom of the pile for the 35# plate.  Way to step up.  Teddy, Cheese Curd, and Turkey Leg were also the beneficiaries of Prohibition’s veteran choice.

As a team, get your sandbag, your rock, and your plate to the staircase of the Charlotte Catholic Parking deck as fast as you can.  Pays to be a winner.  For those doing the math at home that’s 1.5ish miles away.

Plank while receiving instructions:

At the deck, P1 & P2 take plate and do CMIYC Hariburners up to the set of cones half way and back around to the stairs at level 2.  P3 does fireman’s carry with the sandbag up to the top of the stairs and back down.  P4 does thrusters with a rock.  P3 & P4 flapjack.  When all 4 team members return do 20 Handclap Merkins.  And Rotate.  P3 & P4 do Hairburners to level 3 of the deck, while P1 & P2 do Fireman’s carry and thrusters.  Finish with 20 Handclap Merkins.

Repeat the whole thing except come down the ramps and replace Thrusters with Louganis with a rock.

When all are done each team takes their sandbag, rock, and plate and heads back to McAlpine.

A little Plank work while we wait on the six.

Done.

Dead Cat Skin:

So unfortunately Mittens the cat didn’t make it across the street last night and lay dead on the sidewalk along 51 between Charlotte Catholic and McAlpine.  As sad as this is, all would agree everything else in the workout sucked way worse.

McGee had the idea for the shortcut through the back field of the school to grab and hold the lead with his team all the way to CCHS.  I think he secretly wished he took the long route to get a little more work in.  Witch Dr’s 2.0, Rad, was crushing it out there too.  The 14 year old was lugging a sandbag that nearly weighed as much as him and had to keep up with his partners Mermaid and Margo.  Although he may or may not have taken the elevator down the parking deck on the fireman’s carry.

McGee, Flipper, Fault Line, and Dear Abby took the lead on both the out and back.  Congratulations. I’ll get your prize to you next time I see you.  You’ll each receive losing lottery tickets from last weeks Powerball.  Just think how you’ll be able to tell your grandkids about the framed lotto ticket from the first ever $1B+ jackpot!!!  Very special indeed.

Good work from my team of Hairball, Bounce and Spackler moving up and down 51.  Big props to everyone for grinding through this one.  As much mental as it was physical.  No, no, it was physically more awful.

Chew on some ibuprofen today.  Your going to need it.

Thanks to McGee for the send off.

Announcements – none.  Everyone was in too much discomfort to think of one.
