The Eagle had a hole in the Q sheet on Saturday, so YHC grabbed it. Browsing the Exicon, the BLIMPS routine stood out as it looked like it hit every muscle and had the potential to be awful. 1 PAX got in 2.5 miles on an EC run and 10 PAX joined the Main Event on an ideal, 60-degree morning.

THE THANG
Mosey to the track. Q explained that PAX would complete the exercises below to get around the track. Q also asked, “What’s another word for BLIMP?” and believe it was Band Camp (appropriately) that got it right: “Zeppelin.” YHC queued up a Led Zeppelin playlist and the crew got after it.
