It all started when YHC was vocal on Twitter about the importance of MQs and Qs using BOTH the website to schedule Qs AND a punctual preblast (before 7-8PM the day before the workout). So when MQ Omaha and YHC bantered publicly on Twitter for him PBing but not having a Q on the website calendar, it was well played when Omaha signed YHC up on said calendar for a future Q. Well played, sir.
Then the irony…
YHC posted the PB publicly at 3:51PM the day before. It was both clever and inviting, tagging @F3LKN and with the proper hashtag. But despite all the wisdom and skill of the MQ, Omaha didn't see the PB, so around 7 or 8PM, he called YHC out as if YHC could possibly have forgotten about the pending Q. As all the wise pax of F3LKN who leverage the website for their planning and enjoyment know, when you're signed up on the website calendar to Q, you get 2 very short, friendly reminders via email (JUST 2) about your upcoming Q – making it impossible to forget unless you don't check your email (said differently, unless you're under the age of 23). So the irony, banter and calling-out between YHC and MQ Omaha came full circle and ended with a fantastic 45 minutes of stretching, sweating and wrapping our hands around YHC's big, long, thick, black rope.
The publicized moleskine:
YHC hadn't been to stretch in a looooooong time. Maybe joined a convergence of MadSci and Stretch one fine Wednesday months ago – don't recall what brought that on. Otherwise it's likely been 18 or more months. This morning was a great reminder of how good it feels after. The body needs it, and YHC will be back (and it won't take the MQ signing me up to Q to pull me back.
Thanks to Popcorn for bringing Happy Gilmore, Jimmy O and KingFish over to join us for some high and low pigeon, then a surprise MWAR down the street.
Toxic missed MWAR. He must've been intimidated by the big, long, thick, black………………..
Not listed in Pax list is Change, who rode along with Papa Amen to join us this morning.
Ponch is an excellent addition to the Stretch pax. Has great cops and robbers stories to share. Pax was hanging on his every word (and not listening to the Q).
Amen is even more dangerous at Stretch than any bootcamp. Tight circle, not leaving the location, no air movement. Amen is far more dangerous than 'Rona.
That's it. No listing of all the amazing stretches YHC led, for fear someone will steal this epic, never to be repeated workout. Sorry, Toxic. The Force is out.
