Throwin’ Iron and Dropping Wisdom at Cannonball We had 17 on Q (11 bootcamp, 7 walkers) for some kettle-bellin and some thoughts on worrying. Here is how it went down: Warm-o-rama Disclaimer and a brief word about my bum left shoulder SSH, 20 IC Imperial Walkers, 12 IC Low slow squats, 10 IC downward dog, honeymooner 1/4 mile mosey with toy soldiers and karaoke The Thang: Station 1: 5 goblet squats and from the Bible:…
3It was a chilly morning and the wind made it feel colder than it was. We had 7 pax this morning for the MOD. I asked each of the pax to think about their favorite Movies. As always with my Q, other Pax will be called on to call Cadence, Then we started the workout. Warmup: F3- all in cadence 10sec count left and right leg stretch 20 windmills 20 MNC 20 baby arm circles…
0I was tapped to Q as the Fort’s Hardwood had a local buddy that he had been working on for some time and for some reason he thought I’d make the guy want to almost vomit enough that he’d come back a second time. I’m not going to say it worked, but Sashimi (Aaron FNG) sounds like he’s game. Lives in Paddler’s Cove along w/ about half the other Lake Wylie Pax. Pulled in w/…
5Here we are, 10 days later, but better late than never. Quick and dirty backblast – 4 years ago I did a similar Q at the Deep, leveraging their track and football field. We had to change it up this time around to not tear up that field, but I think it was effective. Here we go: Long mosey to warm up the 24 boot campers in attendance and stretched / side straddle hopped, etc…
3Semi-finals of the QvQvQ I got first run at it and jumped right in.

0Getting the opportunity to Q at Cannonball is rare, so when you do get the opportunity you have to be memorable. I can see Two Ferns as an old man saying, “remember that day at Cannonball when Softshell said lets stay dry and we went offsite, in the rain” Yeah it was a great idea on paper considering the night before there was a 100% chance of rain and I knew the overhangs wouldnt be…
3This morning we had 12 at shipwreck. We did a scavenger hunt workout in search of the flag. In honour of lucky who constantly reminds me that I forget the flag everyday. The scavenger hunt consisted of 4 different locations between Oak Ridge middle and Oakridge elementary school where clues to the next Station were left. Each clue also contained a bible verse that assisted in finding the next location.. Each station contained 4 separate…
2So YHC was summoned by the site Q to come lead on this day and of course was obliged to do so! So in the gloom of an early chilly (not cold, chilly) February morning as pax arrived from all points the workout proceeded as we got both bells and blocks and went to the center of the lot for the beatdown from the old goat himself. Went like this: COP: Side Straddle Burpees –…
1Weather: Gloomy and Rainy 5th Principle-Rain or Shine, Outdoors YHC had suffered sleep deprivation on the eve of this Q. Thunderstorm kept the house up. One of the rolling thunder sustained the house for minutes. I thought I was having to put the 2.0’s in the closet, like, is this another earthquake. Sorry no rapture. Keep it movin’. Eyes open 5 till Start. Lucky I laid out my go bag, lucky I loaded Goliath the…
3We had seven show up this morning I gave a good but quick disclaimer and we took a quick mosey to the front parking lot. We started here with four laps and I instructed that each lap we would stop at the speedbump and you had the choice of 25 squats or ten Merkins. Lucky being a veteran he is did his 10 Merkins and then heckled us as he moseyed away and said “you…
