A long long time ago in a galaxy far far away there was a Nantan named Flossy.  Flossy used to show up with regularity.  One Red Friday back in August 2016, Flossy showed up as the Q with a fire in his eye.  He put a workout on those in attendance that day that put a hurting on everyone.  And while Flossy was always a top performer, he blew the PAX away that day with his performance.  Come to find out, there was more to the story.  Flossy’s hero WOD that day was designed for his late Brother-in-Law who was a police office lost in line of duty.

To my knowledge we have not revisited that WOD since that day, but i could be wrong.

Quarles (as originally designed by Flossy):

3 Rounds for Time

22 Pull-ups

22 Manmakers

22 KB Swings

1 mile run

Looks easy enough on paper…it is not.

That said, i needed some miles today to stay on track with my training, but i also wanted to ensure Pusher showed up, so I volunteered to Q an alternate WOD while Blu (The actual Q) ran this week’s challenge.  Blu didn’t show up, so Duggar stood in (and I mean literally “stood in” and did not participate) as the Q for 8 Pax completing the COVID w/o.  Confused yet?  Meanwhile, the 6 participants took on a modified Quarles WOD.  Modified, bc i modified the exercises to include the ones Pusher specifically asked to be excluded in order to secure his HC (I had my fingers crossed so i was’t lying technically).
