First round, Q vs Q…..LET’S GET READY TO RUUUUMMMMBBBBBLLEEEEEEE!!!!!

I could not sleep last night-woke up at 2 am and laid in bed for about an hour before I eventually drifted off to sleep then the alarm went off at 0430-wife out of town, 2 dogs, and 3 cats are a bad combo but WTH? Let’s goooooooooooo!

I rolled in to The Goat just after 0500 and Roscoe sends me a text to let me know the gate is open across the bridge-no factor for me but just pointing out the HIM that I am competing with wants me to do well-no surprise to anyone reading this. I consider Roscoe one of my best friends and F3 has solidified that friendship more than any other before moving to Gastonia 15 years ago.

Over the last week I was reminded several times that I was not the higher seed for this event. That’s ok, I’m happy to be here and really surprised to be with these guys. My posting and Q’ing have seen better days compared with lately so thank you for this opportunity.

Flintstone started things off just before time with the rules then Roscoe took off with his weinke-we moseyed up to the upper deck around the post office/up the stairs for some Dora-ish stuff that was harder on my core than I wanted with a mosey around the building for the partner. We did some other stuff then eventually made it to the bridge for some bear crawl and back then to the parking lot for partner Lunge/Burpee long jump work. I was really not paying attention bec I wanted to make sure I had thought thru my part so I am sure I am missing some of his stuff. What I do remember is 20 seconds before the handoff to me, Roscoe called in a train to come by adding 5 more burpees just before I took over. I may or may not have done them.

Roscoe’s t ime was called and I took over-we moseyed the the bottom of the stairs and in ShortSale-ish fashion, my weinke was a bit complicated to accommodate POSSIBLY a large crowd. I had 3 stations set up with partner work at 2 of 3 stations. As I was trying to ‘splain things, here comes Roscoe’s train again screaming right behind us making communication difficult. No factor-come in closer like Pilgrims Progress did and I’ll speak up. Rules were given then we took off to respective areas and got to work. My favorite (of course) was the Hip Slapper station with the Australian Mountain Climbers a close second place. We had a few learnin’ sessions and thankfully Tesla was there for some in depth interpretation and edumacation (FARTUS SACKUS).

We moseyed back to start for the pledge then the vote and then COT.

Kudos to Flintstone for getting this together. If you were not there, we had a blast and you really missed out. I appreciate all you men showing up today-supporting me, Roscoe, and Flintstone, as well as every other HIM that posted with all of our baggage. As we come up on another year milestone in about 3 weeks, I am amazed at the work our guys have done both in the form of exercise, various CSAUPs, and community involvement. I am proud to know you men and thankful every time I get out here with you.

Whoopee
