YHC was sitting next to Knope thinking about the beginnings of a plan for my Q at DR when Misery’s intro hit the meta verse. Whelp, that’s all the inspiration a man needs. Taking a strong assist from one of Sweat’s past Qs, and the spirit of Ricky Bobby in my bones, YHC had it all figured out. Shake and Bake!

14 PAX for the ME, including FNG Deliverance. Let’s get this work.

Warmup:

  • SSH IC x20
  • Willie Mays Hayes IC x10
  • Merkins IC x10
  • Mountain Climbers IC x10
  • Peter Parkers IC x10

The Thang:

  • Ricky Bobby Mosey to the Al Buehler Trail  – Gate to Water Fountain Races
  • Today was exceptionally gloomy, so YHC brought some lights to show us the way…
  • Head on down past the gate to the water fountain and wait for instructions
  • The theme of the races was, “If you ain’t first, you’re last”. PAX will complete an exercise at the water fountain, then immediately start traveling to the gate in a winner take all race. Time starts when the PAX start the exercise.
  • Let the race begin!
  • Phase 1:
    • 10 diamond merkins at water fountain
    • Run down the hill and up to the Gate
    • Winner low squat hold, everyone else 10 Jump Squats
    • Round 2: 15 wide grip merkins
    • Round 3: 20 regular merkins
  • Phase 2:
    • 10 burpees
    • Run to bottom of hill, then flip to backward run up to gate
    • Winner low squat hold, everyone else 10 tuck jumps: Thanks to Botched winning almost every race, YHC came up with the “Shake and Bake” – Whoever wins can choose to give the ‘active rest’ at the top to anyone they want.
    • Run back
    • Round 2: 20 burpees and 20 tuck jumps
  • Phase 3:
    • Bear crawl to bottom of hill, crawl bear to top
    • No winner was crowned – Everyone does 10 jackass merkins
  • Ricky Bobby Mosey back to start

Mary:

  • Heels to Heaven IC x50

Announcements:

  • The Bull Oct 29th – details on slack
  • The Quarterly Report Oct 1st – Chatham – details on slack

COT: Prayers for Mr. Brady and his family as he fights through his cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Moleskin: I took the idea/structure of this Q from something Sweats did about 4 years ago at DR. There is no shame in borrowing from what others have done before. If you’re afraid to put your name on the Q sheet because you don’t want to disappoint/worried about timing/etc., reach out to someone and have them read through your pre-blast. They will be glad to do it. Aye!
