8 pax decided that a little April frost was not going to get in the way of a beatdown at the Viking. Here's what all the fartsackers and Fallouters missed:
0500: Auto led YHC on a 3 mile Standard through Monteith Park (aka Middle Earth), North Meck Park, and the Viking parking lot. Solid 2nd F, as always.

MARY:
All pax circle up around one 30# coupon. One pax to middle of circle to perform squat-to-press AMRAP with coupon while next pax calls 10-rep Mary exercise. Rotate through pax until all pax have hoisted the coupon and called a Mary exercise.
Can't recall which pax called which exercise, but I believe we did Low Flutter, Low Dolly, LBC, Mason Twist, Rosalita, Dying Cockroach, and the W. And then Auto finished us off with some Mericans. Finally, 1 minute of elbow plank. Recover, Recover.
MOLESKIN:
- Thanks to this great group of pax for getting out on an unseasonably cool morning to join YHC. Really enjoyed leading this crew. I've been wanting to incorporate the coupons for some time… thanks for indulging.
- Several clown cars today – one classic clown car from Birkdale carrying Tiramisu and Dry Rub (thanks for the BCC support, fellas) and another featuring Stapler and Commando.
- Speaking of Commando, he killed it today. Don't know the back story on the name, but hopefully it has something to do with either the classic Schwarzenegger flick or the classic 1980s arcade game.
- YHC is pretty sure that he inadvertently switched 4-person teams halfway through the workout, and then switched back at some point. Don't know who else may have switched, but one thing YHC noticed from having been on both teams is that Stapler was moving when he had the coupon in hand. YHC had to run almost twice as far to catch him after completing burpees.
- Not certain, but Fescue may have switched teams as well. Seemed like he was always taking over for YHC on the coupon.
- YHC's form on the last few reps of derkins was embarassing. Hope nobody saw that garbage. Somebody tell the Q not to call it if you can't do it.
- Solid coffeeteria with Tiramisu and Dry Rub, as well as Major Tom, who rolled into SBux from Fallout.
- Thanks to my Spartan battle buddy and BRR teammate Mayhem for reaching out to YHC and asking for a Q. This was YHC's first Q of 2018, thanks to all of the run training from Jan-March. Gotta get a lot more dates on the calendar if YHC is going to match YHC's 12 or 13 Qs in 2017. Who else needs a Q?
- Thanks to Dry Rub for taking us out today, and thanks as always to Auto and Eeyore for the EH in June 2016. I'm forever grateful.
Aye,
TC
