Mosey back to flag

COT Names and numbers, YHC took us out

Welcome back to Clavin who’s been on the DL for a while.

YHC’s VQ. I am grateful to be welcomed into such a great group of people and honored to be able to contribute. Overall I am satisfied with how the workout went today considering it was my first Q. I think I would skip the Four Corners Regular if I had to do it over. I wasn’t quite sure how the timing was going to work. Blackjack ate up a good amount at the end and we hit 45 minutes almost on the dot.

I’d like to say that was exactly how I planned it but mostly it was serendipity! Great work everybody!

    Respect Bootleg. Looks to have been well organized – unlike most of my Q’s (ok, perhaps all of them).

    Thank you for the beatdown Bootleg! You rock! I remember when you came out to WDog and we first got to know you. Big mistake! I will dread your Q’s from now on.

    Good job men. See you soon in the gloom.

    I thought it was a really well planned out and tough workout, Bootleg. I liked the thoughtful choices of exercises for each iteration, and the blackjack was a real smoker at the end. Great job!
