  • Hijack the Q!

    YHC arrived to the Hill thinking he had signed the Q sheet only to learn Duke was going for the hat trick. YHC has been having some issues with the sign up sheet. Not wanting to write a 3rd BB in 3 days Duke surrendered the Q to my plan. Being out of town next week this was my last Friday of the month so a Murph was in order.

    Quick warm up.

    We did the Murph!

    YHC took us out in prayer.

  • Indian Summer

  • I’m Dying!!

    Apparently Doozy had one of those moments (like the commercial) where his computer was dying with no cord, hence the reason YHC is typing this beat down. At 530 the air was warm with a bit of dew on the surfaces when Doozy yelled “Mosey” and off we went. The runners departed for the coffee house at about the same time.

    COP- various warm-ups of varying difficulty were done at moderate levels of correctness by the PAX.

    The thang: Run to the bottom of the hill. Triple check with Runner to top of hill, Merkins, and that one where you are upside down on the wall.

    Mosey to back of parking lot: Lot crawls with bear/merkins then lunges squats add 2 each one.

    Mosey to front of school for another triple check. Runner to the flag pole with incline merkins, and dips. Mosey around the school the long ways stopping to perform 5 burpees at each corner. And there are about 10 corners. BTF and I almost passed out.

    Doozy took us out in prayer.

    Great Q Doozy. Way to push it PAX. Be awesome today!
