It was this time last year (10/26/2020) when YHC had his VQ at The Ricky Bobby.  Nothing like milestones to show us how far we’ve come.

6 strong at TRB put the track, the neighborhood, and the turd shack to good use.  We even had an opportunity to EH a weary resident with a few monkey humpers.  Here’s what I remember:

Nutria was away, so The Sandlot shovel flag pinch hit at TRB.  Weather’s great.   PAX are ready.  Disclaimer given.  Let’s roll.

  • 25 x Goofballs (IC)
  • Mosey to the track and half a lap
  • 15 x Don Quixotes (IC)
  • 5 x Burpees (OYO – Train)
  • Mosey half a lap
  • 15 x Hillbillies (IC)
  • Mosey half a lap
  • 15 x Toy Soldiers (IC)
  • Mosey half a lap
  • 20 x Dying Cockroaches (IC)
  • Mosey half a lap
  • 15 x Heels to Heaven (IC)

  • 10 x Hello Dollies (IC)
  • Mosey half a lap
  • 10 x Mike Tysons (IC)
  • Mosey half a lap to the bleachers
  • 20 x Dips (IC)
  • Mosey the rest of the lap and back to the flag
  • 20 x Monkey Humpers (OYO)

  • High Knee Skips to the other side of the school’s front driveway
  • 20 x Dying Cockroaches (IC)
  • 15 x Heels to Heaven (IC)

10 Count (Watts Up)

  • Mosey to the neighborhood in front of a certain house on Winder
  • 20 x Monkey Humpers (OYO)
  • Mosey up the hill, right at the stop sign, to Spooler
  • Mosey down the hill to the cul-de-sac
  • 10 x Merkins (OYO)
  • Mosey back up the hill
  • 10 x Merkins (OYO)
  • Repeato up and down the hill with Merkins 4 times (5 times total)
  • Mosey back to the house on Winder
  • 20 x Monkey Humpers (OYO)

Heading back to the flag, we passed a white car that slowed, revealing none other than The Big Cheese himself.  Radar provided an appropriate salute, and we were back on the road.

  • Bear Crawl the length of the school’s front driveway

Code Brown for one of the PAX.  The 24/7 turd shack is an underrated asset at TRB, so we pointed him in the right direction.  In the meantime, it was time for:

  • 44 x Flutter Kicks (IC)

Mrs. Breaker broke up the bid for 50, pulling in and sparing the group a few flutters.

  • 20 x Monkey Humpers (IC – Not directed at Mrs. Breaker)
  • 20 x Dying Cockroaches (IC)
  • 15 x Heels to Heaven (IC)
  • 20 x Hello Dollies (IC)

Planning this beatdown, I just wanted to go.  We spent the whole workout pushing tempo.  Not a lot of time given for breaks.  The PAX pushed hard today.  No complaints within earshot of the Q.

My confidence and abilities to plan and lead a beatdown are just so much better now than they were.  Looking back, it’s hard to believe that it’s only been a year.  Thanks for letting me screw up a lot.  I promise there’s a lot more screwing up to come.

I needed to lead today.  Thanks for the opportunity.  Strong work men.
