Title: The Enigma Machine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Introduction.<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not much of a secret that when I Q a workout, my intention is to get the PAX to feel like it was worth it to get out of bed that morning. \u00a0If I\u2019m waking up at 4 a.m., the beatdown better be damn well worth the effort. I don\u2019t want anyone leaving the AO having regrets over posting because they didn\u2019t get a good enough workout. \u00a0In my ever so humble opinion, I think I\u2019ve had some decent successes. On the other hand, there have been some failures. There have a been a few swings-and-misses in which an idea didn\u2019t quite pan out. \u00a0But nothing ventured, nothing gained \u2026 right? Take a risk \u2026 right? OK, so today\u2019s workout wasn\u2019t a complete failure, but it also wasn\u2019t exactly as high on the intensity scale as I was aiming for. It ended up being more of an interesting idea that a full-scale, solid beatdown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Warm-o-rama.<\/b><\/p>\n

Roaming warmup consisted of Spider Merkins, Whirlies with the Clap, Imperial Storm Troopers, Arm Destroyers, and Side Straddle Hops.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beatdown.<\/b><\/p>\n

On a wet and soggy Waterfall Field (the site of many a rugby game in my youth), the idea was for the PAX to \u201cchoose their own adventure\u201d. \u00a0The pool of potential locations and exercises were set, but it was up to the PAX to determine which exercises we did, where we did them, and how many reps we did. \u00a0Taking turns, a member of the PAX would provide the Q with a 3 digit number and then the Q would plug that number into the simple matrix below.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Deep Thoughts from the Q:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Nice to workout this morning with a few guys that I don\u2019t often see. \u00a0Too bad we didn\u2019t have more time to chat. And I guess it was cool to workout with the familiar guys too.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Cobains to Huck for the arm work. \u00a0But in his defense, his one-handed Burpee form and speed was still better than the majority of PAX, the Q included. \u00a0The man is either tough as nails or just plain insane. Who comes to a beatdown with a separated shoulder?<\/span><\/li>\n
  • For a special F3 discounted fee, YHC is available to lead a cadence workshop.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Impressive that the co-WBs were Hates. \u00a0Where were the real babies?<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Despite Cobra\u2019s desire to be Alan Turing, he could not break the code of the Q\u2019s matrix. \u00a0Bletchley Park, this was not.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • YHC forgot to point out the front door of Pure Barre for anyone who was afraid to get a little damp this morning on the field.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Blue Steel (shorts\/tank top) and Cobra (pants\/jacket\/hat\/gloves) clearly use different weather apps.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • There was quite a bit of mumblechatter this morning, but YHC was too busy doing simple math to pay any attention. \u00a0Sorry if I missed anything good. Sound off in the comments if there\u2019s anything that shouldn\u2019t stay at the workout.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Announcements:<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Tomorrow is a Double Down for Double Down (F3 Louisville) who is having surgery. \u00a0Wear black. Take a picture with the Ace of Spades.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • December 15: F3\/FiA Christmas party and 5 year F3 celebration. \u00a0Leave your kids at home. If you didn\u2019t get the email from Bluto, see Van Gogh because your email address is wrong on the website.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      FNG:<\/b><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Joshua Keilty is a head master at Summit School. \u00a0He was EH\u2019ed by Toe Tag (about time he brought someone out). \u00a0Came here from Vegas. A fortune tell foretold his future attire as loin cloths and buckskin. \u00a0(I think I would ask for my money back.) This administrator at a school for children promised to wear that outfit at the next workout. \u00a0Suggestions included Leslie Chow from The Hangover, something from the Flintstones, Rushmore references, anything to do with Animal House, May I Please Have Another, \u2026 but we settled on Loin Cloth. \u00a0Welcome. By the way, this is what happens when you have too many doctors and not enough marketing professionals in your workout group.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Prayers:<\/b><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Blue Steel\u2019s brother, Stuart. \u00a0Coming home for the holidays.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • In absentia, Thistle took us out. \u00a0(Yes, I unapologetically stole his post.) \u00a0See his Facebook post. But since I hate social media and don\u2019t have Facebook, I can\u2019t link to it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
