Your humble correspondent (YHC) had not Q'd an Estate workout in quite some time (actually, I had not Q'd any boot camp workout in a while) so I literally pulled an old Weinke off the shelf and made a hopefull assumption that I could complete it without clipboarding. I've spend most of the last two years training for marathons so I had reason to be worried.

Lots of pax in the parking lot when I arrived. Some finishing Excelsior and some starting a 10K team training run for the Tuna Relay next week (Black Eyed Pea, Snake Eyes, Tantrum, Jaws, The Force and Freedom).  Hoodie ran Excelsior and stayed for the double down…he's a beast. Sponge Bob showed up with a 45 lb ruck…determined to own GORUCK Selection next year.

Here's how it went down:

  • I needed reminders from the Pax on how to do a Plank Jack and Jack Webb (it's been a long time)
  • Elmers' form on squats was a perfect simulation of the Japanese bow of respect  (Saikeirei)
  • Rock Lobsta's presence was appreciated – he redirected his workout to The Estate this morning after scannin the Twitter preblasts
  • Sponge Bob is a beast, doing all exercises with a 45lb ruck. Stay healthy bro!
  • Strong double down from Hoodie. He almost wore his hoodie this morning but it was about 10 degrees too warm for it.
  • Good to finally do a workout with 98 degrees. I met him for the first time at the Grease Monkey a few weeks ago. He notice my F3 shirt and told him I was once the master Q at The Estate. He looked skeptical so I was able to validate my claim this morning and also got to learn how he got his name. Show to know next time…
