Triangle of Doom or some other ominous name that is not the same name as another AO (Bermuda)
Cool 67 degrees at the Colosseum. YHC (again) came in on two wheels. Luckily there were some hearty PAX ready to get to work. A Pre Blast Tweet went out to let folks know to expect running. Twitterless Green Wave…

A little movin' & rollin' with Florence
I've been chompin' at the bit to Q this new official Ruck AO, the Fire Ant, and this morning was the perfect time. Over the last few years, it's developed a standard consistent with harder AO's and I was not about to…

Start and stop, repeat
Man it's been too long. Cha Ching set me up with the opportunity to Q at the SWAMP and I must say, I do miss that place. But then again, I think I say that with every AO I have the opportunity to Q at. So for this one…

Six every 3 at Quagmire
Quick disclaimer, then to start, a volunteer PAX chose 3/6 out of 3/6, 4/8, 5/10. So, 6 burpees every 3 minutes, or the best the Q to do to maintain that throughout the workout. Then, it was: Mosey to Home Depot w/…

Not much of a game, but a whole lot of suicides
So for some quick backstory, YHC had the Q at the Deep on 9/29, but was asked by our Nantan to be on of the Q's at the convergence at WEP. I was planning on doing a football themed workout there, but since I was losing…

Maximus at a "Moderate?" I mean, c'mon, Slow Burn isn't always moderate. That said, I appreciate the opportunity to Q no matter the AO so thank you Smithers for thinking of me. I tried to honor the AO by pushing the PAX…

Not a Running Workout...Sorta
The Coop takes me an extra 5 minutes to get to. I should really set my alarm 5 minutes earlier but hey, I'll just move quicker. I don't go often to this AO but it's where i took my first face-plant at an F3 workout (I…

On the second clock at Tomahawk
Polaroid sent out a request a few weeks back for Q's. Replying affirmatively meant I was going to be put out of my comfort zone as I had only attended a weight AO twice over the years. I was then able to get in a visit…

6 pack at Sea Legs
I don't usually document the runs, but I figured it could still be helpful for those Q'ing a workout at Sea Legs that may be unfamiliar with the lay of the land. Every backblast counts. Nothing special this morning…
