Dowry and Amway delivered a masterful Q at the Mother Of All Beatdowns. Several current and former Nantans were in attendance, so the pressure to be perfect was on. And boy was perfection delivered.
Intro, mission, no flag so no pledge, then mosey around MacGregor Village and stopped for an excellent warmup by Dowry. Immediate accolades were given by the PAX. Then we did a combination pain train/suicides Thang which was very clearly explained and included a lot of stairs plus some merkin variations and other exercises. Happy Gilmore showed the he was clearly the smartest of this bunch. 10 minutes in, and many of the PAX were already gassed. Mission accomplished.
Then we moseyed to the big hill for some running up and down and more merkins. This was easy for the PAX to grasp.
Mosey to the big parking deck where we did an inflating and deflating BLIMP pain train. The PAX claimed they couldn’t hear Dowry’s explanation even though his voice was amplified with reverb effects in the parking deck. We mostly got it right.
Then Indian run the long way back, about 1 mile. When we arrived we did a round of Last Man Merkining, where we all merkin’d to failure to see who would last the longest. I’ll give you one guess who won. His initials are HG.
After a quick audible on the grass to avoid fire ant hills, the fast-thinking Amway moved to the parking lot to finish up with some bear crawls, crawl bears, and tuck jumps.
Any confusion that ensued was most likely due to the low average IQ of those in attendance, and definitely not due the very-clearly-stated instructions of the Q’s.
The PAX were an appreciative bunch, as they said TYFYL several times throughout. Not sure why they weren’t smiling when they were saying that, but we won’t worry about that because they were obviously so nice and welcoming.
Lots of announcements and culture stuff happening in Carpex this month, Q school, VQ week, etc. Other stuff happening all around…check Slack. Prayers for those affected by the hurricane and look for opportunities to help.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead. Always a great time with some of our favorite dudes from around the GCR. MIAGD!
