I seem to keep having my last Q in the Carolinas at least once a week now. Gonna need to stop calling it that until I got a final date for when I leave. Bones gave me the Q for abyss at sea legs, came up with something on the spot that went more or less like this today-
Mosey to basketball court, COP
Mosey to the back road. At top of back road, tried having us do rugby sprints, learned its kinda hard to do it coming downhill, didn’t realize the angle was as steep as it was when trying to stop suddenly for six inches. Did this all the back to basketball courts
WIth a partner, each man does 30 pullups altogether, switching off to run to give breaks between sets. I love my pullups, and 30 is ambitious I think for most people.
After this went on to main event. Tried explaining the whole routine before starting, but learned it was alot easier to just go round by round and have the PAX follow along till the habit picked up.
ISLAND HOPPING
4 islands nearest us in parking lot, do a set of an exercise and run to next. then,Far away islands, run to each and do 15 LBCs. last island near middle by COT, 10 burpees before moving on to next round. rounds were as follows:
1.10 merkins
2.20 squats
3.20 monkey humpers
after going through one cycle of this, PAX had it down pat. 10 minutes, left, started over with intention that everyone do as much as they could before time. Pax in lead got to monkey humpers again before COT called. As usual, Jedi was beast mode and in the lead and never looks like he’s dying haha.
Had lunch with Qbert today who was present, I asked him what the general impression was of ” a whopper Q”, if it had any general characteristics . He answered that it was that nobody ever knew what it was going to be or what to expect. Really, Really glad to hear that because honestly, my biggest thing that I want to avoid at all costs, is to be too predictable or cliche when I lead the beatdown. So its good to know.
Great Q. Yes never want to be predictable, PAX give me crap about that all the time!
