When Whoopee asked me to take over as Site Q of the famed GasHouse, it did not take long to HC. However, when not out of town, I tend to feel obligated to be there, whether I’m leading the workout or not. Any of you old Site Q’s feel that way? Other than the Q vs. Q challenge, I’ve been present each Saturday that I was in town. When filling the June Q list, I noticed Wirenut had an opening on June 10th. I recall last year he and Whoopee did a Q swap, so #repeat. It had been a minute since my last Old School Q. I do recall the beer workout being deployed. But Leppard’s trying to get cured off the White Claws these days so better not tempt him too much. The idea that kept coming back was the Weinke Freight used in his Q vs. Q. It was a good plan. It had a great mix of block work and running. So, my opponent that day likes to pay homage to F3 men with his WODs. While this grouping of exercises have nothing to do with his name but the inspiration certainly does. Let me spread my seasoning on it a bit and I give you “The Freight.”

COT: Prayers for Gumby’s family, Ratchet (Jackson Hall), Norwood, Anchor Man’s Sister in Law procedure. Announcements for 3rd F Lunch 6/21 at Logans, 7/4 TFY – 0700 – 0745 workout, then reading of Declaration of Independence.

Notes: Flintstone organized the Lightening EC at 0600 which many of the PAX completed. That took a bit of wind out of the sails, especially the First F Q.  Just remember, extra credit is extra. It’s not the Q’s fault to make your second workout easier. Always good to test yourself, but be prepared. I was happy with today’s workout. Block work is always a tough one but add in the running and keep the pace going, the heart rate remains elevated. The chatter wasn’t too bad today but notably some of the louder voices were missing, so that made it easier on the old Q. The Q swap was as good as expected so I could get to a different AO and be around the NOGA crowd – especially to get Timeout afterwards.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead,
