Crowd Favorites

22 Pax showed up fro YHC’s final Q as a resident of the UC.   To make the last Q extra special, exercises were chosen based on the high level of groans and complaints that they always receive during previous Qs.  All would soon learn that they were not favorites at all.

Bratwurst, Hollywood, Soft pretzl and YHC began with a pre-run from the Chimneys, and met up with Dasher and Doc McStuffins (and 2 others?) prior to the main event.  A good tradition starting that I hope will continue.  All met up at 5:30.  Disclaimer was given, then we got to The Thang:

Quick loop around the parking lot for some warm-up, followed by some SSH, cotton pickers, merkins, peter parkers, plank jacks (on elbows) and imperial walkers.

Mosey toward the back of the school for Crowd Favorite:  7s from curb to curb (6 on one curb, 1 on the other, 5 on one curb, 2 on the other, etc.).  First round, derkins on one curb, bear crawl to opposite curb, than incline merkins.  These left a mark, but we continued anyway.  Second round, squats on one curb, lung walk to next curb, squats on the other curb.

Once the gripes subsided, we moseyed over to the parking lot signs that always seem taylor-made for another Crowd Favorite:  The Beast.  For those outside of Dromedary who’ve never experienced this little gem, it involves sprinting to three evenly spaced signs, stopping and doing 6 exercises at each sign, and sprinting to the next sign.  Once you reach the third sign, you do 6 exercises and then work your way back through each sign, so 6 sets of 6 exercises each are done for one round.  Of course there are 6 rounds of it.  The People love them.  This time, we did Freddie Mercurys, flutters, american hammers, hand release merkins, and carolina dry docks.  The sixth and final round always ends with burpees, but to the PAXs’ delight time was running short so we only did 3 sets of those.

Moleskin:

Great push from the PAX today for what was admittedly a rough workout.  Doc, Hollywood and Soft Pretzl were pushing the rest of the PAX in great form as usual.  Strong work from the likes of Jingles, Boucher, Aztec and others really kept the group going.  Nice work, gentlemen.

It’s an honor to Q this group of men and I’d love to do so from time to time after I relocate out of the UC this coming week, that is of course if Bratwurst will permit me to bring my apparently sub-par cadence counting back to this AO.

Also, as a consequence of changing jobs this week, my recording of the roll call was lost when my phone was wiped clean.  So, apologies for not posting the announcements and I hope I can remember everyone who posted from memory.  Here goes!
