21 pax showed up to House of Pain expecting a steel-filled beat down of epic proportions.  What they got was no steel and an out of shape Q.  YHC suspects that most of them just went home and worked out again to fill the void.  3 weren’t so optimistic about the main event and wisely got some EC in.

Warm up:
Arm circles, good mornings, windmills, imperial walkers, and a warm up lap around the church

The Thang:
A good old-fashioned circle of pain including merkins x 10, air squats, then merkins, then jump lunges, then merkins, then more leg stuff.  You get the idea

Mosey to the bottom of the parking log, 5 burpees, sprint to the top, 5 burpees sprint to the bottom.  This was repeated several times, and there was much rejoicing.

More circle of pain with dry docks and some abs mixed in, might have been another round of merkins and legs mixed in here too.

More burpees and sprints.

Moleskin:
YHC has probably Q’d a 100 times or more in his life, but getting back on the horse after a layoff of a few years was tough – didn’t sleep well the night before, and 0500 rolled around really quick.  Of course, like every other time I’ve groaned about getting up early and rolled my creaky joints out of bed, I was happy I did.  Great to see some guys I hadn’t seen in a long time, and good for the soul to be back in the saddle again.
