Q-Fusion

A litte Q-fusion this morning at <#C02PK4V7WLV>. I noticed several Pax running around the AO before kick-off time. Most getting some extra miles before the Dam to Dam relay. I noticed <@U5Y5JA02G> running and I thought I had seen his name of the Q Line-up for the Catawba Ridge AO (whatever the new name is).
After clearing up the Q-Fusion, we started with a mosey around the parking lot. We stopped a few times for Toy Soldiers, Butt Kickers, and Knees to Chest. we made our way to the band parking lot for the first phase:
– Bear crawl out to 10, 2 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 20, 4 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 30, 6 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 40, 8 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 50, 10 burpees, run back to start

Next, same markers, except run out, 10 SSH (+10 each marker), Nur back to start.
Last set, same marker, run, 10 squats, nur back to start.

Next, we moseyed to pull-up bars. 5s – 1 pull up, 4 squat thrusters, increase pulls +1, decrease squats -1
Rinse and Repeat
Finished off with a Jack Webb

Good to see some new faces. we had a out of town visitor and a Kotter.
Great job guys

found this in the Codex
It was Shady-level “fun”

MARY: a little yoga instead.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots of them in the newsletter and beyond
COT: was held.

Panhandle confided that this was not a moderate workout. Sorry, Not Sorry. You guys freaking crushed it anyway. 45 min on a Saturday makes it moderate–right? You’re welcome

Many of you know I don’t post often on Saturday because it’s concentrica time in my household. My M was working out of town, and the 2.0s slept in. It was great to be among the PAX this Saturday. The work we GET to do in the gloom is a privilege. Remember that when some jackwagon calls 7-2-20s.
