Different Year, Different Q, Different WIB

Quite the journey to finally get this BB posted… first was a journey getting to Q! Starting with Bevo the original Q, Turnover the original substi-Q who got a stomach bug, and landing on YHC (evidently, TO asked others as well just in case – smart!)  Needing to quickly come up with a plan, YHC decided to do a few things in honor of the previously assigned Qs, because why not?

If you’ve ever worked out with Bevo or Turnover, then you know this: Bevo has amazing squat form, and TO has the best Mary Katherine’s in town. These guys have “legs for days” as the cool kids would say. So we would do some good leg work to be like them, and then YHC threw in some Captain Planet Merkins  for good measure (“Captain Planet” is a nickname YHC has for TO, who also likes Planet Fitness).

CoT

  • YHC took us out giving thanks for the new year and for the nicer weather!

NMM

  • Not too many complaints on this one. It was sufficiently tough, without being overly cruel.
  • Okay, so maybe the mile jaunt up the hill to the far Reynolda entrance was a bit cruel, but it was necessary.
  • Okay, the Bear Crawl was also a bit cruel, after the leg work especially, but at least it was uphill!
  • Future note: Lots of Pure Barre traffic in Reynolda Village these days. We modified the route to avoid cars in the parking lot a bit..
  • H.O.G. was ran a few miles beforehand to warm up, great to see him out again more regularly!
  • H.O.G. was unfamiliar with Squatty Potty’s, which YHC knows as something Huck first introducted to the DashPAX, but man does it work those legs!
  • Root Canal pushed it through our speedbump and is getting his Bourbon Chase speed back!
  • Starfish and Mutton got in some good MC during the beatdown and easily worked through all stations. These Redwoods definitely miss The Estate!
  • Cherry Pie wanted more Arm Swirly things. Anyone else thing this dude is actually a runner, but would never admit it?
  • BooBoo has been upping his game as of late. It was admittedly weird to see him post without his dog though!
  • Workbench never had the pleasure of seeing The Estate, I bet he would have liked it. He has plenty of fun these days in F3WS though!
  • I thank all who posted, not knowing it would be YHC as the Q, but would you have still posted had you known it’d be YHC?!
  • Always nice to be back in the old Estate stomping grounds!

Sorry for the delayed post, and thank you for those who posted! The women from Pure Barre took the Keys from YHC and told them to stay off their turf… good luck getting them back!
