The long awaited debut of the Fracsac Wolf Pack Mountain Q finally arrived. November 2nd seemed so far away not long ago. News of the monumental event traveled far and wide. Rudy canceled his plans to travel to some Irish school, King Kong passed on the opportunity to climb a building in NYC, and a HIM from Pittsburgh made a special trip for it. Don’t let anyone try to tell you different, what you read here is total fact….sort of.
25 men of F3 joined YHC to see what was in store. With 0530 upon us, time to do a disclaimer, then throw the Pax off with a countoff. The Pax were instructed to remember their number. Mosey down St Charles, and make a U-Turn back to the Loyola Lawn for the warmup.
SSH IC x 31 (because that’s what we do)
Grass Grabbers IC x 10 (there was much mumblechatter)
Abe Vigodas IC x 10
Plank-o-rama
Peter Parkers IC x 20
Mountain Climbers IC x 20
Parker Peter IC x 20
Asked King Kong his number. He responded with 24
Merkins IC x 12 (4-count total of 24)
The Pax was asked to count off again, in the order of 1,2,1,2……remembering old number and new number.
Mosey to the Mountain.
Group 1 in a column on the left, Group 2 in a column on the right. Indian Run up to the top of the Mountain.
Once on top, time to test the focus of the Pax. When we get tired, we tend to lose focus. This can affect home life, or work, or other things. The instructions were simple. A Pax was asked his first number. The first number may have been 17. YHC informed the Pax there would be one opportunity to hear the instructions. Failure to execute properly would result in a penalty.
17 SSH, the first 10 in cadence, the rest in silence, maintaining cadence internally. Failure to stop at the designated number, or a failure to stop counting out loud beyond 10, would result in a penalty.
Penalty #1 – Mosey to the end of the top floor. Split in group 1 and Group 2, 10 Burpees OYO, sprint back to other end.
We tried the test again. 16 SSH may have been the number, but it doesn’t matter, because the Pax incurred another penalty.
Penalty #2 – 10 Burpees OYO, sprint to the other end and back. There was some mumble chatter claiming YHC was just messing with everyone. Not true.
Penalty #3 – Sprint to the end again, 10 Burpees OYO, sprint back. Most of the Pax was getting it, but a couple did not.
Final effort of 13 SSH IC to 10, followed by silence until 13. There was one Pax that did not stop with the rest of us, but YHC allowed one do over. Upon that effort, the entire Pax was in perfect uniform SSH IC mode. It was a beautiful sight!
Mosey back down the mountain, stopping at level 6 for:
Monkey Humpers IC x 20
Mosey to level 5 for:
Catalina Wine Mixers IC x 10 (not so fun on the concrete floor of parking garage…meant for grass)
Continue the mosey to the bottom.
Move to the benches.
RL Powerups IC x 10
LL Powerups IC x 10
Dips IC x 15
Mosey back to Loyola Lawn
Freddie Mercury IC x 20 (Bohemian Rhapsody Opens Today!)
Flutter Kicks IC x 20
Times Up, mosey back to flag
COT
Countoff, Announcements, Intentions, closed with a prayer to the Sky Q.

We welcomed Gemini from Pittsburgh. This guy could knock out some burpees fast, hence the HIM title. He mentioned he planned to come back and guest Q, showing us a real Burpee workout. Looking forward to it! T-Claps to Reluctant Yankee for getting him to WPM and to Jingle Vader for getting him back to his hotel.
When I first visited Wolfpack Mountain, the Indian run up beat me, and I dropped out. It took me a few visits to get there, but I did it. Today I Q’d it! T-Claps to those that kept motivating me.
There were a couple Burpee Debts paid at the end. We got to see Sea Man wear an Irish Jersey!
Coffeteria at PJ’s was great as always.
Thanks for posting with me today!
