I thought the PAX got it, but they didn\u2019t. They were confused by the simplicity of the beatdown (or the sheer stupidity).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PAX were SUPPOSED to only run, one pair at a time, in order to minimize running and maximize bear crawling. But instead, they thought they were to run, one partner at a time continuously, which would maximize running. When attempting to explain again, they asked:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhy have partners then!?\u201d Well to run WITH.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHow do we know when to run??\u201d Well, just count off, or every 6 lights, or whenever the hell you need to?!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhy not just do one at a time?!\u201d Because I want to minimize running!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, YHC gave up, and after we got to the first intersection, YHC said \u201cScrew it! No more running! Only bear crawl and squats!\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During this whole ordeal, YHCs partner, Turnover, became scared of YHC\u2019s frustration with the general PAX. Sensing the frustration growing, he felt trapped, doing much of the workout in silence, only offering passive compliments, \u201cThis is a good workout\u201d, \u201cYou are so strong,\u201d \u201cThe other PAX are so dumb, how do they not get it?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until we got to the road, and TO found his out. Yelling, \u201cI\u2019m done! We\u2019re through! I won\u2019t take the abuse anymore!\u201d YHC never believed TO fully knew what he was doing and wasn\u2019t heart broken at all by the betrayal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rest of the PAX still got their money\u2019s worth, but\u00a0 frostbite, ducky, Burns, and Wobegon especially all ran WAY too much. If their traps and shoulders wasn\u2019t sore, it was because they did it wrong.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blue moon busted his hump all morning, and despite the chaos, managed to give it his all. Hopefully Ducky will bring him to a sane workout one of these days.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spicoli showed up late, after texting YHC asking where we\u2019d be. YHC told him, and also warned him about the Po-po sitting on 421 waiting for speeding PAX.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon arrival, Spicoli\u2019s first thought was \u201cUhhh, what?\u201d He did whatever the confused PAX told him and got some sweat in his headband!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Toot, always up for a challenge, seemed to have ran the least during the beatdown. He then traveled back with Blue Moon, and set a great example that YHC as the Q didn\u2019t. #RespectRespect<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lambchop\u2019s bootstrap squats left much to be desired, but he made up for it with his open confession about not knowing what we were supposed to be doing and causing sheer utter chaos with his MC. He may have gotten several smart alec responses from YHC.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drip put his knee brace into Bear mode and hardly broke a sweat. He politely suggested the beatdown could have been done another way, and YHC conceded: it makes sense to have partners run separately, but again, that would have gotten us 4-5 miles, not the goal, but a lot easier for the PAX to comprehend.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Site Q, Chick Flick, nearly called an audible and took over the beatdown, banishing YHC to the pits of Q banishment, but decided against it since YHC was kind enough to take the Flatline Shovel Flag off of his hands and use it for Alcatraz. #NowWereEven<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YHC has decided to do this again for his next Q, so PAX should come back with popcorn\u00a0 to enjoy the entertainment, perhaps to throw at your least\/most favorite PAX, and maybe workout some.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, it really was a fun morning, YHC had a great time yelling at PAX, the PAX enjoyed getting a rise out of YHC, and we all got in some form of a good workout. Love this group, appreciate everyone who was present, and look forward to doing it again. Chickflick, thank you for the keys, sorry to say they were thrown by YHC in a fit of rage somewhere off the strollway.
