Trying to Q more this year since YHC admittedly slacked a bit in 2021. First Q at The Piranha in a while and new site-Q's Loonie & Count pumped me up on Slack, so I felt the need to bring something memorable to the table. Almost bit off more than I could chew, but collective strength and drive carried the day and we all completed what YHC had in mind.
Warm-up
SSH, Hillbilly, WMH, Morocco Nightclubs, Mountain Climbers, Slow merkins
First up, a Paula Abdul to honor today's date 2/1. Bear Crawl forward to parking spot, Crawl Bear back one. Repeato until covered the whole lot.
Then we mosey'd to The Hill of Suffering (subject to name change) that Count introduced us two a couple weeks back. Everyone lined up at the bottom for an 11 of burpees at the bottom and squat jumps at the top, with one fun wrinkle – mode of travel up the hill was a backwards run. It was on about round 2 that YHC realized this was a bad idea as going backwards up the embankment felt like pulling your legs out of quicksand on each step. Not because it was muddy or wet, just because it was DAMN TOUGH! A moment of self-doubt crept in and I thought about audibling the plan to a "7", but when I looked around and saw everyone grinding at 110%, I knew we had to finish. Not fun, but we suffered together and got better. It may not be repeated, but it will be remembered.
Next over to basketball court for a ring fire 3-exercise circuit. Each PAX led a round of 10 SSH in cadence, 10 merkins of their choice, and 10 American Hammers in cadence. Rolled straight through all 11 rounds with 2 well timed 10 counts and mosey'd back to startex where we ended with some side and low plank holds for Mary.
