ALL the way down to the end of the parking lot ( From the tree near the basketball goal to the end of the lot going towards the big dumpster ) IT WAS A LONG WAY !

BUT, you had to physically carry one partner from one cone to the next. Everyone gets a chance to get &#8220;picked up&#8221;. But it wasn&#8217;t a piggy back ride, we were partner carrying one dude. One guy grabs the legs, another guy grabs the arms \\ shoulders.

The Q was trying to catch his breath most of the time so my memory isn&#8217;t the best. We were together, but we were kinda spread out as well.<\/p>\n<p>Cruiser was back&#8230;.fresh off his European tour. Couldn&#8217;t tell he had only worked out once? while in the UK. He was killing it.<\/p>\n<p>Ziggy and DQ were crushing it as usual. However, they were stationed beside the Q, so they had to keep the &#8220;cursing the Q &#8221; down a little. ( Just a little ).<\/p>\n<p>Tonka&#8230;. I don&#8217;t know how it&#8217;s humanly possible, but dude is getting faster. He was out front all morning. When we were doing the bear slides, he was beside me. I think he was only getting in 7 slides to the Q&#8217;s 10. ( T-Rex arms )<\/p>\n<p>Slow Pitch and Hugo&#8230; Dudes were picking it up and laying it down. When asked how they were doing, &#8221; Pfftt.. Whatever dude &#8221; I kid. They were kinda hating all the shoulder abuse towards the end, but they still pushed through.<\/p>\n<p>And last but not least&#8230;the Playlist.<\/p>\n<p>It was a list minute scour on Spotify. Trying to find all Monday songs ( Monday \\ Monday in the title or themed. )<\/p>\n<p>I thought it was okay-ish.<\/p>\n<p>But, in true DQ, and then Ziggy fashion I hear &#8221; You mean you don&#8217;t have <strong>I Don&#8217;t Like Monday&#8217;s<\/strong>, by the <em><strong>Boomtown Rats<\/strong><\/em> &#8221; on the playlist? DQ hit me with some music knowledge. I had to look it up. It was fascinating and a terrible piece of American History. When DQ and Ziggy are around, you are going to learn something.
