12 pax joined the Turn brothers this morning at #Samson despite Turnpike's signaling in his preblast that we might be doing some questionable things because they could tell we had some fun stuff planned, and didn't want to miss it.
0500: 4 pax (Turn brothers, Frogger, and Marker from F3 Denver) ran a 2.5ish mile Standard out-and-back on the greenway. Prior to the run, Turnpike claimed to not know where the greenway was, which I would ordinarily find hard to believe given he's run there 50, maybe 100 times, but this is Turnpike we're talking about, so it's possible he was being serious.
0530: Commence slow mosey around parking lot just as one more car arrives. It's Auto, coming in hot to work out despite having just gotten back into town on a delayed flight late last night. Tclaps.
Turnpike leads pax around parking lot with medley of high knees, buttkickers, and side shuffles L/R. Circle up back where we started, by the cars. Disclaimer given by Turncoat.

MOLESKIN
- Thanks to the pax who came out this morning, in sub 30 degree temps no less. I think this was the third time we've co-Q'd in 2019, and have to say it was the most
questionablefun one to date. - Every pax followed TP's instruction to push a cindy from one end of the parking lot to the other, except Auto, who just walked to the other end while rolling one of the propane tanks with his foot.
- Red October gamed YHC's zamperini / burpee partner exercise by immediately running away with the cindy so that his partner Jedi couldn't catch him and he wouldn't have to do any burpees.
- Turnpike's Kia Soul was a few hundred pounds heavier than YHC's Prius, but the same group won both car push races by a couple car lengths. YHC noticed during the second race that the pax got the Prius going at an 8 mph clip….. pretty impressive.
- YHC obliged multiple pax request for Superman so they could belt out the "Greatest American Hero" theme, much to the confusion of the millenials who had posted this morning.
- Pax wanted to know what Turnpike's out-in-up Mary exercise was called. It was called the "Out-In-Up."
- Lot of mumblechatter this morning, which was perhaps to be expected given all of the
questionablefun things we were doing. - Appreciate Red October and Jedi stepping up to take Qs at #Samson on 1/2 and 1/9 respectively. Thanks for supporting this AO and MQ Hasselhoff, guys….. I'll be back to join you all for whatever you have planned!
- Thanks to Marker for making the trip over from F3 Denver. Turnpike and I will head your way for an ELHS Mustang beatdown sometime soon.
- Keep an eye out for next week (12/26) at #Samson. MQ Hasselhoff considering keeping the AO open for a post-xmas beatdown that morning.
- Mona Lisa has Q at #MightyJungle this weekend, and is bringing cookies. Also, he needs Qs at #Fallout.
- Turnpike took us out. We prayed for Omega's and Clark's daughters.
- Thanks to Hasselhoff for allowing us to lead this morning. We had a great time doing
questionablefun things with the pax. Thanks as always to Auto and Eeyore for the EH back in June 2016…… I'm forever grateful.
Aye,
TC
