FNGs: None
COUNT: … a lot
WARMUP:

P3 = 20 Burpees

Rest of the pax = Beer/mumblechatter

THE THANG:

6.6 mile Ruck to acquire a throne piece, map piece, and 2 clues. No confirmed Wolfdeer sightings but they were out there, no doubt. Tropicana was a master navigator and Sawdust was the master photographer of our throne piece/map/clues. Lady Luck was on our side as we acquired the second lightest throne piece and returned to base camp just as the rest of the PAX had finished our 1500 burpee requirement.

MARY: Beer and Pistachios

ANNOUNCEMENTS: VOLS WIN BABY!!!

COT: Great message but was too far away to hear the F3 name of the HIM leading it.

Matlock (Bill Maddox) was kind enough to share the Q this morning as he and Gene Steratore bought Dick Vitale’s breakfast at Denny’s this morning in preparation for next week’s Bracket Q. Don’t get caught not knowing what Lipscpmb’s mascot is!

Great having Unibráu (Nick Robinson)and the legendary Abacus back out with us.

7 Motivators, some stretching, and we moseyed. We’re all bulletproof until 2035, thank you junk science, and then halfway through getting our shoulders blasted, our buddy Bob led us in some paper/rock/scissors. Bob’s a real one.

My goal was to channel my inner Double Wide and do some sprinting but all too soon I realized it’s Cinco (Scott McGuire) who is uncatchable and P3 who you can’t even see, he runs so far ahead. We have some impressive sprinters among us.

We wandered over to the cloud and your Q’s personal policy is to do whatever Cat Gut (Mike Davis) says. So we went all the way to the Dark Webb. It’s a long journey. I actually thought the Dark Webb would make even Hot Tub (John Muller) be out of breath but I heard him talking about hot tubs, which makes me think we need to have a Q where we can only mumblechatter about what we’re named after.

Some Pavalon work and back to the AO for the Friday main event (cashing out of course) and we were all ready for the weekend.
