Who\u2019s with me?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ever wonder why Spam has more friends than Zima does?\u00a0 Neither have I, but it can\u2019t possibly have anything to do with the taste of their respective namesake menu items.\u00a0 When the Spamtan throws a birthday party, he rents out a brewery, pays for everyone\u2019s food and drink, hires a DJ\/magician, and soulfully serenades the guests.\u00a0 He even allows his freeloading neighbor to partake in the festivities. When YHC throws a party, he makes his guests risk life and limb by running up a dimly-lit, icy, switchback hill that doesn\u2019t go anywhere, carrying heavy cold wet rocks on a sub-freezing morning.\u00a0 He even text-shames his neighbor into posting. Hmm, some things are still a mystery to me.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Q had pre-selected a variety of rocks in order to challenge the PAX, hopefully elevating them slightly out of their comfort zones.\u00a0 If you\u2019re going to get up on a dark and cold January morning before dawn to workout outdoors, you might as well make it worth your while.\u00a0 The #Qfail was underestimating the number of attendees, so a few people had to chip extra rocks out of the icy runoff stream. Slight #TimeWaster.\u00a0 Where\u2019s Mongoose when you need him? Does he even do bootcamps anymore? Has he not paid his Uber bill, Red Eye?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since YHC \u201cwasted\u201d time looking for a new rock and didn\u2019t relay the instructions in a manner that was clear enough for some of the PAX (i.e. some exercise skipping occurred), YHC ended up serving as the Six for a good majority of the workout and thereby missed most of the mumble chatter.\u00a0 Now that I think of it, it was probably for the best. Would the loving PAX have shared their kind sentiments directly to my face? #Cobains\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For future reference, by decree of the the F3 Winston-Salem Nantan, all workout diagrams must have accurate elevation measurements.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the Department of \u201cYou Can\u2019t Win Them All\u201d, the Q tried to alert the PAX about the one teensy tiny miniscule (read: long) icy patch on the hill.\u00a0 By running on the grass to the downhill side of the curve, the PAX should be able to avoid certain rock-related medical accidents. Well, a certain fiscally-conscious PAX, in particular, was more concerned about the spec of mud that jumped up on his shoe from running off-the-path, than he was about the potential harm to his finely-tuned body.\u00a0 Comments were heard about who was collectible for his shoe cleaning bill (Did I use that correctly, Mr. Spamalot?). Can\u2019t win for trying to save the guy from injury.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the Department of \u201cBad Ideas\u201d, the Q thought the number of reps was excessive (by only Station #2) and wanted to Omaha.\u00a0 However, since the rest of the PAX were so far ahead and had already completed the exercises, he thought it would have been extremely poor form to decrease the reps for himself AFTER everyone else had already done them.\u00a0 But the thought was seriously entertained.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stealing someone else\u2019s rock is cheating!!!!\u00a0 But it did give me an idea to use for another workout.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 6:02 surprise (41 Star Jump with a Clap at the Top Burpees) was a big hit with everyone.\u00a0 On an unrelated note, you can\u2019t put anything past The H.O.G.
