Preamble:

Working his way back into the Rubicon fold, (3 times in the last month after a 2 year hiatus), YHC stepped up to take the Q and give the PAX a great BD.  While in the midst of planning, it was to be a tour of the AO but when that occurred earlier in the week, YHC changed the course and decided to pay honor to a fallen F3 brother, Falcon, who the BD is now named after.  The PAX were to bring a coupon and the customary chatter on the channel began. The playlist was constructed a bit differently than the traditional Alt or Classic Rock ones that most Q's deliver.  Or in @Goat fashion...show tunes.  It was 90s/2000s R&B and seemed to be well received.  Weather was amazing and the energy was pretty decent...until the whiteboard came out. Disclaimer given.  LET'S GO!

Warm-O-Rama:

13 SSH, sprinklers, weedpickers Mosey for ~400 with carioca, butt kicks, skips, mixed in. 13 copperhead squats, MTN climbers, copperhead merkins  

The Thang:

The Falcon 26  (in honor of an F3 brother, Jason Richards)

14 SSH in cadence

26 Flying Squirrels

26 American Hammers

26 Lunges- with coupon (double count)

26 Curls - with coupon

Run 400

26 No Cheat Merkins (HRR with shoulder tap) - no coupon

14 SSH

4 rounds...we only got through 3, although Tank (like always) could've done 4 if permitted to go at his pace the entire BD. It was unfortunate that some of the PAX had to endure the same BD a day earlier at the The Bound AO...or maybe it wasn't??? There was definitely a lot of frustration and chatter at the start when 26 flying squirrels kicked it off, but that soon turned into a lot of strong men, working hard to honor Falcon and to support each other.

COT:

We discussed the meaning and prayed for Falcon and his family.  Prayers and praise for Pinkey's father, Sweeper's friend's daughter, Woody's brother and those unspoken offerings. Coffeeteria followed...

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Always a privilege to lead these men.  Woody...aka, The Real Woody, Morning Woody...OUT.
