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

COT: The 5th Core Principle

Don’t worry, stats are intact.

Backblasts are rarely read, and arguably aren’t serving the purpose they once did. Is that good? Bad? Neutral? They do serve a purpose, though, and so I will do it. Sort of.

Once leading pax completed, he ran back and “swept” everyone else, wherever they were, such that we all ran back together.

We got half way through my weinke of 10 exercises:
1. Mountain Climbers
2. Heels to heaven
3. Seal jacks
4. Box Cutters
