Benny’s Triumphant Return Q: Bon Voyage Base Camp

Benny’s Triumphant Return Q: Bon Voyage Base Camp

23 pax made the smart decision to start there day off at Base Camp for YHC first Q in exactly 9 months and last as a Base Camp Site Q.

After a couple warm up laps around the track where we picked up 1 pax coming in hot on 4 wheels the beatdown commenced.

Afterwards, 2 lines of tunnel of love where YHC being the proper leader started a line but the pax didn’t see that so naturally had to join a different line and led it off. Mumblechatter

Jack Webb: It wouldn’t be a proper Q without one of my favorite things Jack Webb 1 slow Merkin followed by 4 Air presses.

2 10 counts, Gummy being a veteran pulled a fast 10 count so naturally another one was given. Mosey on up back to the parking lot this time through the handicap ramp to avoid the stairs.

Mosey on back up to the parking lot, with lots of time left to spare YHC improvised to keep the pax occupied. Instructions were given to run 4 corners 20 LBCs at each corner while running AYG on the to the next corner.

Afterwards, an attempt of 1 long line of plankers delight was shot down and decided with this many pax that 2 lines would be a smarter move. Plank on down the line 2 hand slap merkins down the line.

With time to spare, a visit to Semi’s Office was in order

Followed by plankers delight.

Mary: Each pax was given the opportunity to pick a Mary exercise, they could go either Easy or Stupid with no limitations.

Tolkien: 5 Ninja Stars
Slim Fast: 5 Hand Released Merkins
Sensei: Flutter
Blades of Glory: American Hammer
Rock Thrill: The Dolly
Thunder Road: Protractor

Instructions were given by YHC to then end the last 2 minutes with AMRAP Burpees on your own, YHC ended the workout 30 seconds early given the strong work by the pax.

Moleskin:

First off, I want to say thank you for all of the pax who came out today. It’s been a tough road the past 9 months since the accident and surgery while working my way back up through Physical Therapy. All of the support since the accident has truly been inspirational on my journey back to full strength.

As expected, Purell, Purple Haze, joined by Tolkien coming off a strong NYC Marathon led the way most of the morning. We didn’t quite hit the 2 mile goal YHC wanted to make today however, what we lost in miles we gained in core work. Q nerves were definitely felt after not Qing in so long, complaints were heard that the pax were too old for Tunnel of Love. It’s good for you every now and then, if I can do it with a bionic leg then you can do it.

Tclaps to Slim Fast, Sensei and HIPPA for joining YHC on a pre run, the Slim Fast effect of we’re taking it easy this morning effect is still as always false. Needless to say it was good fellowship to start off the morning.

It’s been an honor to be part of the Base Camp Site Q trio with Thunder Road and Goonie. Unfortunately injuries and a new job made my stay as Base Camp site Q short. Tclaps to Drano who wasn’t present for asking me to step up for him around a year ago. Goonie and Thunder Road continue to lead a strong AO and I know they’ll continue to keep Base Camp strong.
