Not mentioned above, we also had Astro, Loop and Miami Vice in attendance, as well as Charlie – FNG, 2nd post, named Kodiak and Daniel Hess – 1st post.
In total, 26 men showed up for my first Q. It was an honor to lead you and you taught me that the hardest part of Qing is counting! Here's what went down:

First, it was an honor to lead such an amazing group of men, especially with the huge turnout. As promised, running (if you can call it that) was kept to an absolute minimum. While YHC was too busy trying to keep cadence and not get too smoked himself, there was a little bit of mumblechatter that I heard – something about "it looks like a penis but only smaller"? YHC was not always clear on instructions, but was picked up by the PAX without giving too much grief.
I realized afterward that YHC was sucking wind more than most, so I'll have to bring the real workout next time, maybe some sprints?
Welcome Kodiak (FNG Charlie, who is a beast as the name implies) for his second post – hopefully you got your monies worth this morning. Also welcome FNG Daniel who is etched from a mountain and probably went to the gym immediately after to get the real work done. I look forward to seeing you both again!
Lego – Thank you for the opportunity and for picking me up. This was a great experience an ready to do it again soon…somewhat soon.
