Where’s the CoQ?

First, hit play on the video and enjoy The Pixies “Where’s My Mind?” while you peruse YHC’s wonderful musings.

YHC signed up to Q the new #HellsBells kettlebell workout and couldn’t wait to get cracking on some of the cool stuff that can be done with those glorious gobs of metal. The day before, Alpo started up a group message with YHC along with BabyBlu and DixieChick, the CoQs for the Saturday BC workout. YHC had already planned to be ready to adjust everything based on the number of pax who showed up since we had so many running the Swamp Rabbit HM.

DixieChick asked to be relieved of his spot in the love triangle (he’s a staunch liberal, Blu a staunch conservative and YHC picking fights with both) due to some family commitments. So, BabyBlu and I decided to combine the BC workout with the KB workout. We put together a nasty little quadruplet with three moves using a KB.

As the clock wound toward 0600, there were but five pax ready to get after it, one of whom was Schweddy the Unfollower from the noble land of Cola. Always good to get Schweddy in da house. Sugar showed up after stealing his son Noah’s kettlebells and was followed by T-Rav and Bobber, who brought the real man’s 53# kettlebell. He swung that beast for nearly the entire workout. #PimpStyle

Just five? Alpo HC’d on the Twittah, but was nowhere to be found, nor was Pusher who dropped and HC to BabyBlu. But, most notably missing was YHC’s alleged CoQ, BabyBlu. Of course, he was immediately accused of fartsacking another Q and it wasn’t until some hours later that he claimed a Bo Jackson-type injury prevented him from showing up the youth of the Nation. And, just like for REDFriday, he gets the benefit of the doubt. Hope you feel better, Blu!

Right at the last minute (well, actually after the last minute since it was 0601), Alpo and Pusher lived up to their HCs and pulled in hot.

On to the workout.

Team Deck of Death

  • Hearts – Burpees
  • Spades – KB Swings
  • Clubs – Goblet Squats
  • Diamonds – Thrusters
  • Jokers – Team takes off for a lap around the pond, all but one pax grabs a coupon. Switch out however you want. So, team of three took two coupons and team of four took three coupons.

Sugar, Schweddy and T-Rav kicked some tail and finished just before the hour was up.

YHC, Bobber, Pusher and Alpo (who also brought his kid’s kettlebells) finished at about 0701.

Announcements

  • The Assault has been put off until the fall
  • Mud Run is on May 20. YHC is the local Q and SPud is apparently on two teams. Let’s get some teams together and go get after it at the Super Bowl of F3. We had FOUR teams in our very first Mud Run as a region. Surely we can at least match that!
  • Birmingham launch is 5/6. YHC is the launch Q. Clown Car is headed down the first weekend. Time to give it away. There is a lot to do between now and then. Let YHC know if you want to get involved.
