Eight Veteran Pax showed up at the Foundry with the intent to lead. YHC attempted to inform the other seven of the Q sheet and how easy it is to use. It did not go well, and went something like this:
YHC: Use the Q Sheet guys, it’s not hard.
Tool: Shut Up!
Kuch: Yeah, LVCC Rules! Who dares challenge me?
Da Parish: I think this calls for a cage match!
LVCC: Oh, it’s on!
YHC: What the….????
And so an epic battle to take the Q ensued, which seemed completely unnecessary. Glitterballs was the first to go down in what can only be described as a cloud of dust which coincidently looked like glitter. Saban called out that he would no doubt be in the championship round, but he suffered two losses, one coming from Glitterballs before he fell. Abacus optimistically calculated how he could win, but distracted himself by attempting to decipher his odds and went down like a bead on a metal rod when turned vertical. High Rise rose up to the challenge, then went back down, because I suspect that’s how he’s built. Da Parish was seen stretching well outside the designed protection area. Not really sure why he would want to be there, but hey, you do you right? That left YHC, Kuch and Tool standing. After taking a severe whooping from both, YHC yelled “No Mas!” which is weird, because I don’t speak Spanish and don’t really even know what it means but it worked and they backed off leaving me in third place. Kuch got a little dirty and pulled out the Claw which surprisingly took down Tool. I mean, the guy has a hardware store, how does he lose to a claw? Anyways, that’s how we ended up with the three 15 minute Q share. Kuch the winner, followed by Tool, then YHC third.
Kuch took the pax around the track and to the open area for a warm up, then started with 8 count body builders just to remind the pax he was large and in charge. He did some other warmup stuff followed by 5 burpees OYO. People’s run to the Foundry for a couple minutes of Mary, then passed the Q to Tool.
Tool assigned stations: There were 4 stations of various exercises such as pull ups, step ups, decline shoulder taps and burpees. Timer included lunges and squat jumps. There were 4 rounds, so it was changed up by Tool as he desired to show his dominance. Tool then informed YHC it was my turn, and he emphasized not to screw it up.
10 Burpees OYO, as that seemed to be what the pax wanted. This was just to give myself some time to figure something out. I then did what I often do in these situations. I asked myself, “What would Triple Shift do?” So I gave the LVCC the gift of sore legs with a mosey to the open field for the genuflect lunge routine. 1 full genuflect followed by 2 lunges, then 2 genuflect and 4 lunges, etc. Continue up to 10 genuflect and 20 lunges. Triple Shift bailed me out again! Mosey back to the flag for COT.

The Foundry is alive and well, so if you’re looking for a fun and challenging Wednesday beat down, take a look at the Foundry,
It was cold again this morning, 46 degrees with a cold wind making it feel like 40 degrees. It’s nice to have hurricane season behind us though, so I guess we should welcome it. At least it was dry.
The Q sheet does need some love. Remember, we are an organization of leaders, not an organization with leaders. If you don’t step up and lead, you will slowly become a consumer. Don’t be a consumer, be a leader. You can Co Q with another pax if you would like, or take the whole thing. Sometimes pax need a little push, so feel free to give that gentle nudge, respectfully, to get others to step up.
