Today was a mental battle, both before and during the beatdown (more on that later). When YHC signed up to Q, the forecast wasn’t so grim. But after Boo-Boo gave a shout out on Monday, I knew, come rain or shine (literally) YHC would be at the beatdown.
Thankfully, the rain held off until after the beatdown.
Normal disclaimer was given then moseyed over to the pad.

The Thang:
Since we haven’t ever explored the other side of the track, or at least YHC hasn’t, YHC lead the pax around the long way around, stopping at every lit light to do one burpee.
Around the Saints Practice Field we did Monkey Humpers x 10.
Continuing on, we returned to one burpee at every lit light pole. Much to Space Cowboy and Boo-boo’s chagrin, one of the light poles decided to turn off after they did their burpee
While one burpee at a time doesn’t sound difficult, when we ended up doing 80 around the whole track, there was definitely a point or two where YHC felt like modifying. However, knowing that in life we don’t always get to modify, and that YHC wouldn’t be modifying to prevent injury, YHC pushed on and continued to do one burpee at a time.
Cool-o-rama

Plank for 30 seconds, High, Low, and Reverse.
Ended with some self-love and some more slow-vagodas.
COT ended praying for those who have passed and are soon to pass and their families.
