Great job out there by all this morning. I Q’d this workout at Hydra (with only a few modifications) a few months ago and it was intense. I knew the Base Camp crew could handle it and you didn’t disappoint. The track work at the beginning served as a good warmup for the Pyramid. I debated having a 4th lap in there but, after conferring with new Co-Site Q and all-around awesome dude Goonie, decided it was better to leave time at the end for Jack Webb. Strawberry, Floorslapper and Thin Mint were crushing the Pyramid (I’m sure I missed a couple of others… I’m sorry). Heartbreaker’s form was impecabble (I think he said “it really hurts when you use good form”). Goonie made sure my squat form was better after a lackluster showing a couple weeks ago. Thanks, man. I don’t know what any of us would do without you – you’re a true inspiration. Thanks to Fireman Ed for helping me with my Jack Webb cadence. I think we changed speeds on the arm raises about 5 times and I clearly had a Q-fail when counting the pushups.

It was an honor to Q Base Camp where there is a good mix of really strong regulars and new faces. As Simba noted, I was supposed to stop the workout at 6 am so that all Pax could send off outgoing Co-Site Q Fireman Ed with a 1-minute speech about the great work he’s done as Site Q but I had to lengthen the workout when no one could come up with anything. All kidding aside, great work at Base Camp, Fireman Ed. You’ve been a constant at Base Camp for as long as I’ve been a regular there and the success of this site has a lot to do with your leadership. Excited for the start of the Simba/Goonie era.

Announcements:

Joe Davis run next January. Signups soon (Novemberish)
