We began with a short job from the Vine to the steps of Loch Ness. No SSH, no IW, no warm-up at all.
The instructions were delivered. Run around Loch Ness and the various obstacles as many repetitions as possible (AMRAP). On each second lap alternate the left and right sides of the fitness trail. On the left side complete five pull-ups on the right traverse the low and high parallel bars.

Let’s state the obvious, I’m not that fast. That said, there’s no reason even the slower guys can’t Q The Brave. You just have to do some planning. After some thought and visit to my garage and shed, I picked some items that could be used as obstacles. After all, The Brave isn’t just a running work-out, it is OCR training.The hula hoops were a bust. They were too small and kept getting knocked over. I saw some good improvisation at that station including bear crawls and merkins.
I appreciate the big turnout today. (Centurion beat us by 1.) Lots of great hustle from everyone. Thank you to the IL boys for coming out. Thank you to JRR T for providing his logs.
Keep it up and sign up to Q. Don’t be afraid to mix it up and try some new things.
