2026 QvQ Round 2

Leave a comment

QvQ Format:
20/20
PAX Vote in 4 categories
V.A.P.E.

Rabbit:
Divide into two teams

Every man runs 25m and nurs 25 back and the completes 2 squat jumps and 2 burpees.
WWR but add 2 reps to each exercise after each trip out and back. Team with the most reps in total wins.

In addition, each team selects 2 pax to hold Cindy’s above head … Cindy can't drop below the head… if they do the team loses their count and starts over at zero

15 minutes of work.

After time expires, Hold AlGore and plank while the preacher preaches about asking for help and looking for a brother that might need it. (Let's do this for each other men!)

Last 4 minutes jail break 50m and do 5 Big Boys… again but do 10… keep adding 5 and sprinting until time expired.

Stage Coach:
Partner work
Partner 1 will run to the other side of the field and back to partner 2. Partner 2 will be doing an exercise that slowly progresses across the field until Partner 1 returns and switch. Continue switching off between running and exercises until you’re across the field.
Exercises – Bear Crawl, lunge, broad jump burpee, crawl bear and reverse lunge

Results:
Stage Coach won two categories, but Rabbit also won two and had the most overall votes. Win goes to Rabbit.

Great work by both Qs sharpening their leadership today.

It was a Friday… this Friday… at slow burn

Leave a comment

WARMUP: ssh, windmill, imp walkers, Peter Parker’s, all in cadence. Mixed in some up and down dogs
THE THANG: there was a list of 6 assignments taped to the empire pizza end and the Persis end of the building near cot. Each assignment consisted of one or more exercises, with counts of each to complete. The pax started at one end of the building and did assignment 1, then moseyed to the other end of the building to complete assignment 1 down there. The pax would then mosey back to the original location to complete assignment 2 on that list. This patterns continues. Halfway through each run between ends, the pax would stop for 15 dips (180 in total across the entire workout). Once all six assignments were completed. We finished the last one with the 6 and moseyed back to COT
MARY: we got a few rounds in including freddys, penguins, shakiras, and gas pumpers among others

lotsa left turns

Leave a comment

WARMUP: disclaimer
THE THANG: wander through FMHS past the baseball field and pullup bars to get to Harris st. LEFT…. run to Walden Park entrance….. LEFT…. hug the LEFT curb and keep making LEFTS until you run every bit of Walden Park and arrive back at Harris St. Some made a right and headed back to COT. Some crossed Harris and continued the LEFT theme, running a couple more streets on the opposite side of Harris before returning to COT.
MARY: Some had a couple minutes to do some strider/sprints. Highly encourage runners to do this occassionally – your running mechanics and body benefits from sprinting from time to time.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter
COT: Yup

Sorry this backblast is late…. Sorry the video post to slack was late….

As often happens in the journey of life – better late than never.
