YHC originally signed up for the Q at the EpicCenter a while back.  I needed a little motivation to post during the holidays.  As we got closer to the date, there was chatter on Twitter about a Christmas Eve Convergence. I think the plan was a 0500 run and a 0600 bc.  Alpo orginally had Fury so we chatted the day before about a Co-Q workout and had some ideas planned out.  There was a little confusion about the start time of the bc and if it was a 2 hr bc.  It was fine either way with me.  I figured it would all come out in the wash once everyone showed up at Starbucks.

Mostly everyone showed up at 0500 ready to go out for their runs.  Pax left out in different directions for different distances.  All pax joined back up at Starbucks and was ready to start the bootcamp.  The disclaimer was given at 0600 and the work began.

Warm-Up

25 SSH

20 Cut the Grass

Sprint Burpee Combo – Start at One Light Pole and Sprint to the next.  Once all pax made it.  3 Burpees  Total 4 Sprints – 12 Burpees (include in merkin count)

Indian Run to Harbor Freight

Once at Harbor Frieght – Lt. Dan’s

1 Squat / 4 Lunges – then 2 Squats / 8 Lunges – then 3 squats / 12 lunges – then bear crawl back.

YHC got a little confused on this one.  We had a couple different groups doing different versions.  I called recover after the 7th round.  However this is an exercise to remember.  It had the legs on fire.

Indian Run to bottom of Fury Rd.  (YHC had to turn back to grab his phone so UJ called the exercise which was right in line with what was planned.)

We did 11’s.  Combo of Merkins and Squats. 55 Total Merkins for those counting.

Then we visited Murder’s Row.

Merry Christmas

January 4th Relay Run – Tickle needs a partner(s)

Prayer Request;

Crayola’s Mother is having surgery.

YHC quickly realized that he needs to double down more often.  I was done about half way through the bootcamp.  Thanks to everyone that posted this morning and dealing with the slight confusion around start time and Lt. Dan’s.  With a little help from the group, we rebounded well and got in some quality work.  Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
