Introduction:

It is YHC’s VQ, and it was no pressure. Just 23 seasoned PAX and myself out for a spin on Duke’s campus. I decided it would be fitting that, since the students had cleared out, we would take a stroll across campus and sample some of the terrain. Shake It ran EC at 0500 with pull-ups, sandbags, KBs, pushups, and overhead rucks.

Warmup:

20 SSHs

10 Imperial Walkers

12 LBACs and 12 Reverse

15 WMH

20 Merkins

The Thang:

My goal with this workout was to conquer four quads; alas, only three were vanquished. All the more reason to Q again. We started with a short Indian Run and proceeded to each start starting with…

Quad 1:

We gathered at the dining quad beside the fancy new student dining complex. PAX partnered up, and had to do 50 Derkins, 100 Erkins, and 150 dips on benches. While one partner was exercising, the other sprinted up the stairs, across the bridge, and back down the stairs. Once all the PAX were finished, a small patio area demanded 20 Box Jumps of us before we were allowed to continue.

Quad 2:

Starting at the end of the Quad in the residential district, partners wheelbarrowed as fast as their arms could take them. It was at that point some PAX could feel the EC. To switch, both partners must do 15 squat jumps. Low squat hold if you finished early.

Quad 3:

With time running short, we made our way to the sidewalk in front of the chapel. Same partners as before, one partner continuously did air squats, while the other PAX bear crawled to the chapel stairs, down the stairs, did 10 Merkins, and crawl-beared back the way he came, and each partner did this twice. Some PAX (and myself) voiced gratitude for the fortuitous breeze.

We wrapped up with a mosey back to the parking lot.

Mary:

Shake it led while I picked up the 6. I was only around for flutterkicks.

COT:

We prayed for a family and a preschool, both names escape me at this writing. Will continue to pray for both. No other announcements.
