As my friend Santini says, it seems like you have to weasel your way onto the Q rotation 6mos out but hey, these are good problems. This was no different for me at Alcatraz yesterday and to have the opportunity to return to lead the PAX at an AO I was very familiar with (with the exception of this new water thing), I was pumped. Evidently, my original co-Q, then backup co-Q didn’t share the same enthusiasm. There schedules had them downrange and with that, I was eager to welcome Brother Crash to the Q Party and as ya’ll know, my man brings it.

There’s a lot of options on a Saturday AM in The Fort & Rock Hill regions. You have nearly 27 different bootcamp, running, cycling, swimming, moderate and 2.0 workouts and I’m sure I’m missing a few categories but you get the point. And oh yeah, add 1 more thing. We’re nearing the end of October which brings a nice chill to the morning air. Personally, this is perfect weather but evidently with 9 PAX posting here and only 3 at WEP, not everyone agrees. We’ll blame it on the group that went camping and family travels…yeah, that’s it. Bottom line, set your alarm, put your feet on the floor and take advantage of what God has given you.

We had Pebbles from F3-Tallahassee joining us so as typical with guests in the PAX, we had better make this good. So after a brief and I mean brief, “I’m no pro, I’ll suggest some stuff, I’ll count in random counts, don’t hurt yourself and if you do, there’s nobody to sue, Crash disclaimer, he led us.
Began with a warm-up lap around the park with 3 pitstops along the way for 5 burpees OYO and a little side-shuffle action.
Back at the lot, we did our warm-up workout. It became quickly apparent that YHC pulled out the random number generator on counts. That, or he wanted each one to be a surprise.

38 SSHs
18 WMs
14 IWs
8 LSSs
12 Merkins
14 Mtn Climbers
10 LBCs

After a bit of a warmup, we moseyed two-thirds of the way around the park to the top of the hill, again with a couple pit stops for 6 and 4 count burpees, OYO, along with some karaoke.

After a mosey to the bottom of the hill, we launched (Note: F3-Tallahassee Pebbles noted that our favorite hill offers more elevation change than the entire state of Florida)

– Hill suicides (3 turn-around spots) with 20 LBCs at the bottom between each leg
– Hill suicides (1/2 and full spots) with 20 derkins at the bottom between each leg
– Mosey back to the baseball field for everyone’s favorite…Lt. Dans

Handoff to Maximus:
Now that our legs are completely, utterly and thoroughly worthless, let’s mosey to the outfield, circle up and plant yourself on your six for some:
Freddie Mercury
Toe Touches
Protractor
American Hammers…DON’T ACT SURPRISED. You know it’s a staple. Just like pull-ups when available.

As if our legs needed a little more pushing, let’s throw some sprints in for good measure. Line up on the 1st base line in the outfield to sprint 1/2 way across the field, drop for 20 Merkins & 20 Mountain Climbers, sprint to the fence and drop for 20 Carolina Dry Docks & 20 more Mountain Climbers. Taking it back the other way, we got to repeat the set all over again!!!

After Crash brought out Mr. Lieutenant Dan, I couldn’t let him fly solo. With that, Mr. Jack Webb reared his ugly head.
Mosey to the short wall behind the backstop and choose your section wisely:
10 Derkins & 20 Dips….REPEAT

Get back on the 1st base outfield line for a bear crawl variation. Yes, I was taking care of chest shoulders, etc. I’d call out the direction and the PAX would try not to run into each other. Forward, Left, Right, Reverse but not necessarily in that order in case you’re still reading.

Over to the playground. 1/2 the PAX does 10 Pull Ups and the other 1/2 does peter Parkers til the Pull Ups are finished. Flapjack and REPEAT.
Then all together, it was time for a few LBCs and X&O’s.

See, it wasn’t all that bad. I hope Pebbles enjoyed himself and got a good workout in cause I don’t remember him ever being the six.

Announcements: Read the newsletter. Register for the Christmas Party & Joe Davis…NOW!! All Friday AO’s are converging at Empire Pizza near Slow Burn this Friday, 10/28. Forging camping trip, Grow Ruck and Soccer tournament all on 11/19.

Prayer Requests: Thanks to Dark Helmet for leading the group down east to help with Hurricane Matthew recovery. Prayers for Trucker’s work travels and sporting events. Recovery for Decibel’s neice and prayers for her family during tough times. Continued prayers for our household being stretched thin. Crash’s daughter and family, especially in times of travel. Continued storm recoveries for Tallahassee and for “The Heart of Man.” Couldn’t have been said better.

As you were.
Crash & Maximus
