While Breaker was off moseying up the mountain with the sweeter half of the concentrica, and Hot Corner was rucking incognito, YHC led the Pax on an up-cycled version of a Q from 2018, YHC’s 1st F3 year.

After the pledge we began the warm-up with SSHs I/C followed by 1 burpee. Moseyed to the GI bridge with a bet: If the gate is closed, 5 burpees. Open gate, so a lunge walk across the bridge. Mosey to the island within the island to continue the wam-up with imperial walkers I/C followed by 2 burpees. Mosey to the second bridge, lunge walk the bridge, mosey to the back lot to complete the warm-up with goofballs followed by 3 burpees, toy soldiers and 4 burpees and finally merkins and 5 burpees. Watts Up astutely called out that YHC was using the burpee count to keep track of the warm-up exercise count. That’s probably a true statement.

All warmed up and on to The Thang! Staying in this favored lot (flat, usually devoid of vehicles, and mostly dry), the Pax divided up for some partner four corners. YHC is a fan of proper, or at least better form, so no high-rep counts, just P1 running to corner 2 and back while P2 AMRAPs at corner 1 for big boys. Flap jack until P2 comes back and both mosey to corner 2. Repeat the process at C2 with hammers, C3 with squats, and C4 with lunges. The distance between corners 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 are very short due to the rectangular nature of the lot, so many thanks to Virus for suggesting to run the diagonals instead. A strong Q knows a good thing when he sees it, so round 1B included a good bit of extra running with the same exercises. Thanks Virus! 5 burpees for the train, start round 2. Same concept, but different exercises. C1 had LBCs, C2 V-Ups, C3 merkins, and C4 jump squats. Round 2B was cut short by time, so back to flag. Sorry guys, no time for a triple nickel.

Tesla asked for 3 burpees with the remaining 15 seconds, YHC obliged.

Announcements: Convergence and Foundation run 4/13; FCA golf tournament 4/15 see Hot Corner; 5/14 Young Life golf tournament see Buckshot; 5/18 (new date) for Puff Puff Pass Extinction Run; Montana with the VQ Saturday at The Yank.

YHC took us out. It was an honor to lead. -Orangeman
