15 Showed for my Virgin Q at the Fighting Yank.
The Yank was my first post back in May of 2020 and it was fitting that I had my first Q there.
The theme of the workout was teamwork. Although the theme was never stated the men had to work together to get the 3 bags around the track 10 times (team 1 had 7 and team 2 had 8 men). The first few laps were a bit slow and tedious. Once the preferred methods for carrying were discovered and bags were exchanged efficiently the lap times improved.
Started off with the Pledge then a short disclaimer and we were off to the pavilion.
15 PAX attended and no FNG’s were harmed in this experiment (none present).
3 sandbags were used, approximate weights were 60#, 65#, and 87# respectively.
