QIC: Turnover
Date: 5.26.26
PAX: @Bevo ; @Lambchop ; @Gold Watch (WD) ; @Bootsie (WB) ; @Zima ; @Turnover (Q)
YHC was just minding his own business yesterday evening, taking in a 9u travel ball practice, when a DM come across slack from @Bootsie. “You still good to Q tomorrow?”……….Guess Tuesday won’t be a rest day after all. Still sore from @Sea-Man’s Memorial Day Convergence beatdown, YHC spun a (lower-body and WW2 light) plan together. Let’s see what happened:
Warm O Rama
This is Flatline and we don’t Warm O Rama here, baby. Straight to work at the strike of 0530.
Quick @Spicoli lap around the parking lot because YHC is a dummy and forgot that @Spicoli was Q’ing #Redline. #QFail
Mosey down Cherry toward Corpening, with a brief stop for some SSHs x15 IC
Upon arriving at Corpening Plaza, the PAX were informed of the prescribed work (to be executed in decreasing reps) at 4 locations
Location 1: Top of stairs to the left of the fountain: Merkins (20, 15, 10, 5)
Location 2: Center of courtyard opposite the fountain: Squats (20, 15, 10, 5)

Upon completing the last round / 6 burpees, Mosey to the parking deck

@Zima was out front all morning, crushing everything with ease because he was well rested after not exercising at all yesterda….Wait, hold on…I’m being told that @Zima posted for all three beatdown options on Memorial Day…the only PAX to complete the #TripleDown opportunity. What an animal. Strong work, brother.
@Gold Watch was hot on @Zima’s heels all morning as well. He also delivered the worst #nutpunch of the morning when called upon during MARY. YHC actually thought to himself “which one of these guys is least likely to call some stupid upper body/merkin-based exercise during MARY? Let’s go with @Gold Watch”. Big mistake. Huge.
@Bootsie was a form monster from the jump today. Perfectly executing all prescribed exercises. At one point, YHC recalls beginning the mosey to one of the next landings in the deck, only to look back and see @Bootsie tearing off toward the rest of the PAX with an unsettling look of determination and #grit in his eyes. It was jarring.
@Lambchop was in peak MC form, providing musings on all covered discussion topics. He even offered suggestions to YHC on how to make the beatdown better (some of which YHC even took into consideration). How thoughtful.
@Bevo was Mr Consistency all morning. Great form, great MC, encouraging the 6 and pushing the rest of us to keep the work up even in between stations. #HIM
YHC was fighting…let’s call it gastric distress…most of the morning after fully enjoying various Memorial Day celebrations yesterday. Spurred on by the encouragement of the assembled PAX, we all managed to survive the beatdown which maintained a pretty solid pace for the duration. Strong work boys.
As always, it’s an honor to lead and I am better for getting to start my day hanging out and getting after it with these PAX.
Thanks for the keys @Bootsie. I might have dropped them in the top of the fountain when I almost dropped my phone in there too.
