QIC:Hokie
PAX:9

I awaken to the sound of cold wind and regretted signing up to Q on the Lakefront

As I got out of the car, at 0515, I was greeted by 12° air temps and blasts of cold with 120 mph winds coming off Lake Pontchartrain, so I got back in my car to wait on Pax to arrive.

I will call my mechanic today as my car said the temperature was 46° but i know better having just been out of the car.

As 0528 came along 8 additional pax emerged from vehicles including Chootem posting Downrange from Katy

Rudy was heard by the Q saying something to the effect of “a nice Q might consider going to the other side of the levee”

At 0530 nine of us moseyed up and over the levee to retreat for coverage and wind protection

As we hid behind the levee the Disclaimer was given and we did 12 SSH to help the blood start flowing. When we stopped at 12 Q was questioned as to the rep count and YHC welcomed folks to December

Next 12 slow Merkins

The 9 of us then spent the next 5 minutes enjoying Bernie Sanders up the levee and run down. After 5 minutes 12 burpees

4 more minutes of Bernie and then 12 burpees

3 more minutes of Bernie (for a total of 12) and 12 more burpees

We then posted on the street and YHC gave a suggestion we be courteous for those still sleeping and remain aware of our voices

12 more burpees then lunge to next light pole and hold people’s chair waiting on six

12 burpees and 12 side lunges then Bernie to next light pole and hold people’s chair waiting on six

12 burpees, 12 side lunges & 12 Imperial Walkers and lunge to next light

12 burpees, 12 side lunges & 12 Imperial Walkers, add 12 merkins and mosey to the base of Canal

Bernie up Canal, mosey to Lakefront and 12 plank jacks

Mosey to flag and 12 Squats will get us to 0615
