On a cold day at Viking, 9 PAX joined YHC for what was probably assumed to be an easy workout. The Preblast promised 0 reps, and 0 reps we did. Here is roughly how it went down:
0528: BoarHog throws down the first question about YHC's watch.
0530: The fun begins, exactly on time.
WARM-O-RAMA:
- Dynamic warm-up which included high knees, butt kickers, and Quadraphilia as we made our way down the hill towards the parks
- Circle up and disclaimer given
- Hold “Al Gore” for 1 minute
- Plank walk around this triangular (ish) shaped area of grass
The “0 reps” Thing:
This was a humble attempt to Q a workout with 0 reps. Yes, no counting! Everyone grabbed a decent sized rock and a similar sized partner.
Everyone:
- Hold rock overhead x 1 minute
- Hold rock in flexed curl position x 1 minute

With your partner:
- Partner carry down hill and back up

Everyone:

Mosey back to start-ex, backwards.
Mary:

Recover, recover. According to Strava, we covered 1.7 miles.
Moleskin:
- See the Pre-blast page for links to: A. March 23 Q School. B. March 23 Shag Dancing Date night. C. March 30 Operation Sweet Tooth 8k run / 2 mile walk. Among other awesome events.
- Jersey Boy would like to remind everyone who does NOT need Q School to post at BRP this Saturday! Also, check this challenge out: http://f3lakenorman.com/backblast/find-the-70s-song-lyrics-in-this-backblast-and-earn-100-for-operation-sweet-tooth
- Partnered with Stapler today, cool dude and always a pleasure catching up. Thanks for the encouragement and push bud.
- Glad to see MoopDog and Kumquat visiting from far away! Actually it's about 12 minutes, but apparently they're both closer to something called "MECA" now.
- Always awesome to see BoarHog and his K9 buddy. His dog was itching to go. BoarHog made him even more excited by pretending to see a squirrel, and later admitted that was a "d*** move", lol. BoarHog bear crawled longer and farther than anyone today…
- …but not faster than Kosar. One has to remember to give him ~2 minutes of something else to do whenever a long bear crawl is involved. Nice work on the Sprints as well. When he tries, he wins the Sprints. When he doesn't try, YHC calls him out like the jerk I am. *shrug*
- Jimmy O reminds everyone to check out Mayhem at Mad Sci tomorrow. Also said it was a first to run backwards all the way up the hill at Viking. Really? YHC assumed that was a weekly thing.
- Cousin Eddie, posting monster. Still leading the Huntersville PAX by quite a bit. See you Saturday bud?
- Fescue, thank you for the opportunity to lead. Good to see you twice in ~2 weeks. PAX, if you are reading this, there were multiple MQs present today. Please help out with a Q if you can.
Enjoyed it gents. Turnpike.
