YHC had been absent for way-too-long from Bastille and was pumped to get back to one of Churham’s OG AOs. Dean Wormer has done an amazing job of raising the bar for Bastille and encouraging new VQs (Trickle’s VQ is next week – be there!!).  Today was my chance to get back into the Q lineup in SV.

16 PAX stepped into the oddly warm & humid gloom for something unexpectedly expected.  A little good-natured poking on the ol’ Slackster channels last night helped me confirm our plans.
40 minutes of burpees.

Following a standard warmup of SSH (x50 IC), arm circles, BWS & merkins – we were ready to rock.
YHC’s Garmin had been set to buzz EMOM (every minute on the minute) while we moseyed our way through the quite streets of Southern Village.

Our path led us through the SV ‘hood for an approximate 3 (2.8, officially) mile loop, interrupted only by 5 burpees EMOM.  There were a few solo male runners sighted (and appropriately targeted for EH by Eddie The Eagle), there was no recruiting success to be had this morning.  However, we did have a confirmed sighting of Babyface in the wild – but surprisingly he continued on his plain, boring run and did not join the PAX and our burpee enhancement.

Cruising in right at our timehack, the PAX gave it everything they had in the final sprint back to the parking lot for their final 5 burpees.
No time for Mary (by design),  since burpees automatically count towards Mary anyway.
Totals: 200 burpees. 2.8 miles. Plenty of great #mumblechatter (for the first 15 minutes, anyway  – then it got kinda quiet).

COT
Continued strength and support to LP as he continues to kick ass and provide inspiration to us all. Love you brother!!
EtE is our central point of contact for collecting funds to help the displaced teacher & family from Monday’s apartment fire in Carrboro.  Send him somme $$ through PayPal. Thanks Eddie!
DW requested more VQs for the Bastille Q sheet.  Get on it (and likely have fewer burpees).

Aye!
