24 of the fastest men in Isotope (including FNG Ryan) took on QvQ at FKT. Here is their story:

Estwing had all the makings of a winning bid this morning. A Grammy filled playlist. An awesome Strava drawing. And no warm-a-rama, he took off right at 0530. Check check and check. Unfortunately the pax couldn’t hear the music, see the Strava drawing, and we moseyed. Isn’t that life? On paper, it all works out to perfection. 24 pax wake up way too early on a Tuesday to post just for you and then life happens. 

It was awesome to have Estwing leading the pax this morning at FKT. It was even better to have an FNG out this morning. FNG Ryan is in medical device sales and only came to FKT because Jobe promised him business. It checks out. It doesn’t get any easier but you will get stronger, especially if you keep hanging out with Jobe. 

We got in roughly 1.5 miles broken up by COP after each of the five “hammer laps” for the first 22.5 min. Then we split into four pace groups while performing burpees and set the course around the Summit/Office Depot parking lots. Upon passing or encountering another group, group leaders would designate a pax to lead the pax in an exercise of their choosing. We had a bunch of leaders at FKT this morning. Most chose OYO. Seems like a Q School is in order. We finished with Mary where YHC learned about Estwing’s 3/7 theming and the pax learned about audibles to the weinke in the form of burpees. All in all we hit about 3 miles total.

Swampy got overly excited about burpees. YHC misses Swampy. Good to see Deadhead, Cobra, Gambini and Drebin crushing it at FKT…BOOM! Gonna need a Deadhead Q at Summit…errr FKT soon. Ramrod forgot to pickup Jedi…cobains. Hoodie earned a modification on every. single. exercise. Congrats brother. BGs were out in force…appreciate Slingshot stepping up to lead. TClaps to Gambini for converging because it wouldn’t be QvQ otherwise. And finally thanks to Big Montana and Dingo for delivering Auto’s mail in vote. It probably put YHC over the top but don’t tell Auto. 

Thanks to Swingstate for the opportunity to Q at FKT. Thanks to the LFC Men’s Ministry for the EH (Email Headlock in my case) and to the pax for the constant encouragement and motivation. Thanks Estwing for a creative Q, Scrappy for invigorating the pax, and BC for keeping score…kinda. Prayers up for TQ. Go support Possum at the Smithville cleanup this Saturday at 0700. Most importantly, go be the light for someone else today. Lift them up. Until the next time…
