2026 QvQ round 1

THE THANG:
Fishstix was away and was alloted the 1st 20 minutes. We moseyed up to the top lot at The JOC. He led us in a series of partner work. Shouldered partner resistance mosey face to face, Patty Cake Merkins, Partner Get Ups. Round 2 was Wheel Barrows, Leg Throws and Partner Cliff Hanger Merkins.

Our man Flair subbed in for Slopes who sadly came down with the sickness. Flair stayed in the cross regional partner up and called AMRAP work together. No Cheat Merkins, Big Boys and Squats – take a lap. Remember your time as you are always challenging yourself. Next round same workout but beat your AMRAP from Rd 1. Take a lap. Stop at soccer goals and line up in Groups of 3. Suicides across the parking lot. Partner 1 takes of, Partner 2 planks and Partner 3 burpees until all partners complete suicide.
Flair Band Camp Please feel free to edit this BB as needed.

Mosey back to COT for a quick ab lab.

Both brought great VAPE however Fishstix pulled away by the tightest margin. Kudos to Flair for throwing together a great workout in little to no time. Kudos to Fishstix for taking the Dub.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Announced
COT: Prayers and praises as we tallied the vote.

The Tortoise and The Hare 2026

At the 3rd Annual Relay Race, the forest hummed with excitement as the tortoise and the hare stood side by side at the starting line, founders turned friends. This year’s course twisted through mud, up a stubborn hill, and into a breezy stretch of tall grass, and the crowd cheered as unlikely teams dashed and trudged in harmony. A swift fox handed the baton to her steady porcupine teammate, who climbed the hill one patient step at a time and crossed the finish line to thunderous applause. The hare beamed, the tortoise nodded, and together they reminded everyone that speed may spark the race, but teamwork carries it home.  🐢🏁🐇

The Tortoise and The Hare is a relay CSAUP with equal amounts of Ruckers(Tortoises) and Runners (Hares). Teams must consist of 2 or 4 players.

26 miles per team
Teams can mix and match who runs and who rucks, but it has to alternate between running slick and rucking.
E.g. Person 1 runs lap 1 slick. Person 2 rucks lap 2. Person 3 runs slick, person 4 rucks, etc. until all laps are complete.

This year, teams can be mixed. M’s and 2.0’s are welcomed to be part of the teams. Handicaps will be awarded based on the mix of the teams.

Rules:
Each person runs a lap on a track as fast as possible, handing off to the next leg.
Ruckers MUST keep one foot on the ground at all times. Essentially power walking. NO RUNNING with a ruck.
For men (16+) ruck weight has to be at least 30#.
For women (16+) ruck weight must be at least 20#.
Teams with respectables (55+) will get a 60s handicap per respectable at the end of the race.
Teams with women will get a 45s handicap per woman at the end of the race.

National Chipmunk Day

It was a beautiful day over at The Forge, you could feel the electricity in the air! It reminded me of The Electric City, shout out to The University of Scranton. Quick warmup and we were off!

Over to the creepy dim lit side walk behind the overgrown bushes for some wall work. Perfect spot if you want to scare people. We did some overhead claps and derkins to warm the PAX up.

Next stop was the benches for some step ups, dips, and incline merkins.

Now for the final destination we celebrated 2/20 – I heard something about national chipmunk day so we ran with it.

We did a latter workout with Indian runs. Two laps for 2 – 20 reps for 20….Get it….2/20. :grinning:

20 Lunges
20 Merkins
20 Flutters
20 Squats
20 CDDs

We ran two laps between each set.

Back to COT for Mary, prayers and praises.
