Spending Too Much Time With Greenspan

Spending Too Much Time With Greenspan

QIC: Frostbite

Date: 04/23/2026

PAX: @Blind Date (EC) @Slowpitch (EC) @Ziggy Stardust @Tonka @Wahoo @Cruiser @Adobe @Drama Queen @Greenspan @Madoff (DR) and @Frostbite (YHC, EC, WB)

YHC got the call from @Blind Date for Q Duties – of course YHC says yes – I want to win the challenge going on!

YHC has been hit or miss with the workouts recently – life or sleep getting in the way. A few weeks ago YHC posted at #Parliament and much to YHC’s suprise @Ziffle hits me with a “Froistbyte – you is looking so small”

Sheesh, thanks for that. YHC retorts saying that I have been spending too much time chasing down @Greenspan on some runs and haven’t done a lot of bootcamping recently.

Well, now I am back in the groove and sat down to plan the beatdown for this AM. I leveraged the great database of backblasts #BackblastsMatter and found in the archives a beatdown led none only by our very own @Greenspan circa 2020 – it can be found here: It Was Tabata Fun – F3 Nation: Winston-Salem, NC

YHC sees that this is sufficient enough and completely different than my prior 2 Qs at this #AO where they were pretty much the same workout rinsed and repeat. And off we go

3 runners got some EC miles in and around Lewisville Clemmons Road. Topics of conversation included whether or not 5 guys serving breakfast would be a good idea, do eggs deserve a spot on a burger, and @Blind Date’s school records for swim team (but he was homeschooled?!), and Ragnar – because of course we can’t be running without reminiscing on good times.

We arrive back with a few minutes to spare and much to YHC’s surprise, @Greenspan is there waiting for us! He made the “smarter” call by not joining for the EC, but YHC cannot remember the last time @Greenspan has made it to #TheDistillery. Some chirps were made.

Then to an even greater surprise, @Madoff pulls up! Is this circa 2020?! Now it makes sense why @Greeny was there. And the SiteQ emeritus (@Madoff) had to stop by while he was in town.

Anywho, we exchange pleasantries and more guys trickle in and we get started.

NMM:

YHC had a Q Fail with the timer during R1. No sounds were made to give a heads up on “Halfway there” or “10 seconds” or “Rest” – luckily, it miracuously fixed for R2.

@Greenspan immediately remembered this beatdown.

“Big Pimpin” was on the playlist and everyone thought I even copied @Greenspan’s playlist

@Wahoo felt bad for the blocks that were not used during majority of the workout

@DramaQueen thought there was too much running

@Tonka asked what was in it for him using a big boy block on the squats which led to me saying “Glorious Glutes” which will be his new tramp stamp.

@Adobe is still dreaming about West Virginia Pickles – @Greenspan is making a trip this summer!

@Cruiser was the only one donning a vest and crushed the workout.

Everyone absolutely crushed the workout and made it look like a breeze. Back to the drawing board for @Greenspan and YHC.

Announcements:

@Samaritan Ministries workout opportunities – weekly on Wednesdays at 3:15 – truly a life-giving workout. Give it a shot if you can.

Prayers:

@Drip’s eye and @Huck’s leg were lifted up to the ultimate healer.

YHC took us out. Thanks for the keys @Blind Date! They are in the 5 guys parking lot – stopped on my way home!

All the love,

Frostbite
