YHC has been in the habit of resting on Thursdays after hitting Tues and Wed beatdowns, but last week took a pinch hit Q for The Force at Samson, and decided to keep the momentum going this week. Looking at the calendar, I saw that Samson was converging this week, and then noticed that Wilderness had no Q listed (and has been low on numbers recently).
Living 0.3 miles from this AO, YHC needs to be better about supporting this fine workout, and decided to start by stepping in and grabbing the Q for MQ Amen. YHC then put out a #pb with the BAT signal, tagging many of the current and past Wilderness regulars to try to lure some of them out. In the end, 6 pax (including YHC, as well as MQ Amen) posted this morning for what I would explain during Warm-O-Rama would be low impact.

Moleskine
- Thanks to Amen for letting YHC lead the pax this morning, and thanks to the Wilderness regulars who joined this morning. I’m going to make more of a commitment to supporting this AO, and hope that some of the current and old regulars here will join me.
- Amen needs Qs. Please consider taking the lead. If you tag me or let me know you’ve taken one, and assuming I’m in town and healthy (and not Qing somewhere else), I’ll be there.
- Prayers up for Mulligan, who tweaked his back during LBCs. I’ve been there, brother (recently, in fact). It sucks. Hope that it heals quickly and that you’re back out soon.
- I admittedly stole the notion of gradually moving rocks from A to B, leaving them and returning to them to move them further, while doing exercises in the meantime, from a recent Snake Eyes Q at TMO. Thanks for the inspiration, brother!
- Amen got in his J-Los, as well as his obligatory flatulence. You might not recognize him soon, though – the hair (some of it) and beard are going away!
- Great to see Bob Ross and chat about past Goatbuster trips. You definitely need to hit Angels Landing!
- Thanks to Jor-el for his loyalty to Wilderness. He and Amen have been keeping the lights on. He also came in 5:31 on two wheels per usual 😛
- YHC’s first attempt to #pb this workout included a GIF of the BAT signal that also featured a pissing Batman. Oops! Didn’t see that when I first selected it. Had to delete and re-do. Gotta keep it classy.
- Thanks as always to Auto and Eeyore for the EH in June 2016 – I’m forever grateful.
Aye!
