Mysterious and Important Workout at TRQ

Mysterious and Important Workout at TRQ

QIC: Goofy

Date: 09/18/2025

PAX: Dr. Toot, Superfly, D-day, Green Acres (WD), Argyle, Roundup, Goofy (Q), Tarzan (WB)

8 pax posted for TRQ.  The theme was based on Severance, one of YHC’s favorite shows.  The below contains a minor spoiler below if you have not seen it.

It went something like this.

Warm-a-Rama: the typical @Goofy and warm-a-rama fare

The Thang:

Travel to the back of the school for the following stations:

Stations (rotating, I think we went 4x through)

1. Macrodata Refinement – there are two sets of index cards. One with exercises, then others with reps. Pax rotated who chose.

2. Dread – Rock work: presses, curls, bent rows (24 reps each.  The number 24 is the number of units that Mark had to complete by end of season)

3. Malice – Deconstructed burpees (≈10 rounds of squats, leg thrusts, merkins x3.  Severance has won 10 Emmy’s)

4. Frolic – Cusack/Skip/run with or without rocks 

5. Woe – 1-minute holds: planks, wall sits, 30 seconds Balls to the Wall.  

Mary

We did Mary on the way back.  Then one final run as if we were Mark and Helly running together to close out Season 2. While we ran, Windmils of Your Mind by Mel Torme played.  Those who know know.  

BOM:

YHC took us out. Prayers for aging parents and family.  Prayers for Ukraine.  I prayed that He would help us be the men we are called to be.

Announcements:

• Saturday there will be Green Nest run
• Mt Tabor HS is having a blood drive on September 30.  
• There is an upcoming workday for Western NC on October 11 to continue to help with Hurricane Helene recovery.  See Superfly for details.

NMM:

• @DDay was the only other pax who had seen Severance.  Thus it was truly a mysterious workout.  As you can tell from the workout, it is truly odd show but also great.  Highly recommend.
• @Toot missed his normal beatdown to join YHC. T-claps for the friendship.
• I was not aware until this morning that D-day has a the Guinness Book of worlds record for the fastest completion of a blood donation.  You are challenged to beat it.  4 minutes and 14 seconds.  He will buy you a beer if you do.  
• Everyone was on their best behavior.  From the groans of B2W I think that was hated.
• YHC should know better than to call on @GreenAcres for Mary.  We were subjected to Huckleberry Merkins.  
• I calculated average age to be 60.5.  For @Burlap I also calculated the median age to be 61.5.  Super Respect workout!
