After many days and more sleepless nights of relentlessly preparing for what I prayed would be a perfect VQ, I woke up to a beautifully, wet, muddy and demeaning Gloom, courtesy of the Birdcage. Nonetheless, 16 strong braved the weather and duck-filled fields to get covered in sweat and dirt.

The Thang:

• Disclaimer

• “Side Straddle Hop” x 25

• Two lines of a “Burpee Catch Me If You Can Indian Run”
  • Enough for each Pax to get in one set of 5 Burpees

• “Global Warming” where the ducks most certainly left some treats behind for us
  • Mixed in with…
    • Peter Parkers x 25
    • Imperial Walkers x 21…  –  hope to get better at the whole counting thing
    • Arm Circles Forward x 20
    • Arm Circles Back x 20
    • Monkey Humpers x 20
  • (All done while a park employee surely sat in his truck recording the 16 strange men dancing in a circle)

• Mosey back to light posts

• “B.O.M.B.S.” – I severely underestimated how long this would take us. When I look at the numbers again, I’m not sure why. Timing adjustments will be made for my next Q!
  • 50 Burpees
  • 100 Overhead Claps
  • 150 Merkins
  • 200 Big Boy Sit-Ups
  • 250 Squats
  • (pairs who finished early started a second round)

• Workout Complete

• Successful name coup by Breitbart mid-nameorama. Bold move. Bold indeed.

Pumped to have lost my V-card and looking forward to the next Q!

Words of wisdom to anyone planning their VQ:

• You’ll need to take off an entire day of work to go through ALL the exercises on the F3 site.
• Run through your full workout ahead of time so you know what you’ll actually be able to fit in. Should have listened to Reverend on this one!
