9 pax stepped out into the the refreshing perfection of the 62 degree gloom (can you call it that) for a virgin Q, Wild Turkey style.

 Warm-a-rama:

VQ disclaimer given, Mosey out rabbit hole, down HCP, then detour off cart path and over berms to the @Google-inspired driving range hill. 

 The Thang:

 52 ball pickup:

• (Considered an audible since ball picker upper guy had recently made his rounds, but no  worries, we’ll make due)
• Grab a Partner
• Partner 1 stays at bottom of hill
• Partner 2 goes halfway up the hill
• Partner 1 picks up a golf ball and carries to Partner 2
• Partner 2 takes ball to top of hill and drops it while Partner 1 fetches another ball, repeato until time is called.
• Flapjack repeato except quadraphelia up the hill this time – partner 1 halfway up and partner 2 at bottom.
•  52 ball return (felt bad for ball picker upper guy, his machine probably doesn’t go up the hill):
• Partner 1 at bottom, partner 2 halfway up
• Return all balls to bottom of hill taking as many as you want at a time but 15 burpees for every ball dropped (must’ve been a good incentive, since no burpees were needed)

 Mosey to Skyline for a little Footwork Blackjack Doc McStuffins style (had to show to know):

•  Deck of Cards placed at first cross street.
• Shuffle (get it?) to deck of cards and draw one card, number on card is reps of air squats (face cards are 10, aces are 1 or 11) then run back down and leave card face up.
• Flapjack Shuffle to cards and draw again, do corresponding number of reps, then run back down leaving card face up.
• Decide to hit or stay, repeato until ready to stay, then plank at your cards. Closest to 21 without busting returns cards to top while everyone else does 15 burpees
•  Repeato with quadraphelia instead of shuffle and First Order Storm Troopers (why first order, cuz it’s new, ask Pav) instead of air squats.

 Mosey back to HCES.

 Moleskin:

 1. Sandman celebrated his 1 year F3-versary this week and had already Q’d multiple workouts. This was enough to inspire YHC to finally start Qing after 1.5 years. 

 2. If it weren’t for Pavarotti who asked me to join in a Speed workout as I went running by over a year ago, I might still be running by HCES wondering what the heck does that group do?!? We can all learn from Pav on that. Always ask. Always reach out a hand. You never know where a man might be in his journey and how much he may need this.

 3. Thanks for posting and for helping make this a great start to today! It was an honor to lead you all.

 4. P.S. This Q may have been the peak of my creativity, so don’t expect that again.
