QIC: Burns

Date: 4.25.24

PAX: Schlitz (EC run), Rollback (EC Burpees), Adobe, Blind Date, Tami, Wobegon, Lamb Chop, Burns (EC run, QIC, WB)

The EC run was cut short for two reasons: one, YHC’s guts were a little bubbly from too much to eat and *maybe* an extra bourbon drink before bed. I was afear’d of a merlot splash. Two, YHC also knew what was coming for the beatdown. As Adobe said during Mary, “wait, you had some inside info and still showed up??”

As the pax rolled in, YHC sent a text off to the site Q alerting him of our future whereabouts, recited the core principles and the mission statement, and then began a repeating 90s timer. At 0530, all pax did 10 merkins, then we did some WoR with ISTs and Michael Phelps. Then at 0531:30, the timer sounded again and so all pax did 10 merkins. Then we began our mosey. We moseyed all over downtown. We took the EC 5k route and modified it slightly, cutting from 5th to 4th at the library instead of at Summit St, so 2.5ish miles were covered. Every 90 seconds we did 10 merkins (or, if the urban landscape presented the opportunity, 10 dips). We did have some time at the end for 2 sets of Mary – WWIIs and American Hammers. That’s it. That was the workout. Pretty dumb. It was complete laziness on the Qs part that led to a pretty decent beatdown for the pax in attendance. My arms are definitely sore. There was some great MC, we met up with some of the OGs and Tractors runners at different points in our trek, and Crash even joined us for a set of merkins (the 14th set I believe, so if my math is correct that happened at 0549:30). The weather was excellent if only a tad humid, the fellowship was wonderful, and the effort was maximum.

CoT: Prayers were requested for Lambchop’s baby, family, and more family. YHC took us out with gratitude.
