A VQ: Chapter 1


4 PAX showed for the 0500 standard (Turnpike, Turncoat, Popcorn, Gambini) for a light run. The track was inspected for obstructions prior to the main event. No obstructions were found.

No time for VQ jitters thanks to the standard. Cars started showing and 15 men joined me at 0530 for the workout. Soprano was forewarned there would be no pull-ups. Grateful for the attendance at my VQ.

A disclaimer was read aloud and consented to by all.

Moleskin:

  • The best VQ a guy could ask for, nothing but positive mumble chatters were heard (other mumble chatters, if any, were disregarded). Thanks to all the PAX who came to Fallout this morning instead of their regularly scheduled workouts elsewhere: Scrappy, Soprano, Popcorn, Bootlegger, Turncoat, Cherry Bomb.
  • Special thanks to Turnpike for being the official timekeeper so I wouldn't have to use my phone. Watches are impossible to come by at the moment due to the ongoing supply chain disruption.
  • Rodeo took us out in prayer
  • It was an honor to lead the group this morning. I've had some fine Q role models over the past few months to prepare me.
  • Thanks to having to log in to post this #bb, I now know there is an attendance list and I also know I now have goals in 2022 to end the year much higher on said attendance list.
  • Finally, nothing like having your internet cut out the moment you hit save on the #bb and then losing the whole thing. Total noob move. Note to self – always save the #bb before posting.
