It is true you learn something new everyday, today I learned that @Gumpis developing a Q rating system, there is only one way to truly do a Ground Pounder, apparently only @Motor Boatin’ is allowed to call Low Slow Flutter in the Mary, and that this AO is extremely allergic to Burpees!
However, if you’ve been to one of my Q’s, you know the drill. Late attendance must pay the burpee penalty, so the group determined that I was starting out in the negative numbers on my Q rating performance, haha.
FNGs:
None
Warm Up:
Standard Warmup: SSH, SFAC, GM
The Workout:
Headed to the Rock pile, where most of us grabbed a smedium sized rock and hit a 5 station x 3 round circuit.
Bicep Curls
Wonder Bras
Tricep Extensions
Squats
Ground Pounders
We then woseyed to the building, where after we determined the illegal placement of vending machines hadn’t been cleared by F3 Guard, we completed 3 rounds of Peoples Chair and Balls to the Wall.
Mary:
A popcorn Mary that included two low slow flutters and a scolding, haha.

Tequila Sunrise 2/28/26
/in Tequila Sunrise/by Yogurt0545 Warmup: Leg swings, Popeye’s dip move, squats per Wide Right, mosey up parking lot and back
Goal was to warm up our legs “dynamically” (moving) instead of “statically” (standing or siting stretches)
0600 Main Event: The route was simple: Counter clockwise loop; Judd to Main Street down and up through downtown Fuquay to Judd and back to the park for 5 miles – boom
Wide Right rucked while Popeye and I enjoyed a nice mosey. With one-to-one chatter, I learned a lot about Popeye’s life and faith over the last few years. You should catch up with him some time.
0700 COT
Mary: None
Prayers: All around medical health
