The Q sheet for The Stomp was mysteriously blank for this beautiful Tuesday morning. On Monday, YHC wondered why would such a popular beatdown did not have a Q — rain in the forecast (we all know Lakeview people can’t handle a little rain). So at 5:01 am, YHC took the Q, his first at the beloved 610 Stomp.
This Saturday morning is the Cresent City Fall Classic. YHC has always dreamed of running the Cresent City 10k from a timed coral. The fall classic and the St. Patty’s two-miler are the qualifiers for the 10k but YHC cannot attend either this year. So, why not make the entire Stomp crowd attempt to run qualify for the race at an F3 workout.
We mosey from the flag to the starting line. Along the way, we warmed up with high knees, butt kicks, carioca right, and carioca left.
At the starting line, the course was roughly explained. Runners were reminded that a CCC10k qualifying time was 22:00. With that disclaimer, we were off.
After passing Christian Brother’s the kind security guard told us that our route would need to be modified (darn VooDoo Fest). No worries we modify and move on.
At the conclusion of the run, a few things were determined.
- The Pax determined that Shuffles probably qualified and no one else.
- YHC discovered how his M feels when I don’t follow directions.
- F3 is full of leaders and followers, both were on display today.
- Amnesty plays by his own rules.
- The park is safer than running down the bayou (except for that one part when I lead the Pax into the middle of Wisner).
Finished with Mary, stretching, and burpees.

It is always a pleasure to lead. Thank you, gentlemen.
