The quest for the perfect Q continues….
YHC had signed up to cover the Q at Urban Legend a while back and ended up on the IR so Urban Legend still had a Q on the ledger as a receivable. Upon review of the Google Doc Q-Sheet, only Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve were open, so with the Christmas Eve Ruck last week, NYE it was. In trying to determine what to do for the workout, YHC came up with probably the most unoriginal of all workouts, the 12 days of Christmas. However, since this Q is occurring during the actual 12 Days of Christmas, seems legit and appropriate. The only question that remained was do we have music or not, and if so, is it Christmas music? Answer is of course and no. Mumblechatter was light as 6 Consensus F3 All-Americans took the DRP, enjoyed some no-90’s rock, and got 45 minutes better than they were at 0515. Playlist below.
Conditions: 65 degrees with a chance of rain, which it did not.

Workout consisted of “The 12 Days of Christmas” style, with each day of Christmas being the number of reps and an exercise being “counted down” are repeated during each iteration. That may not make sense typed out, but the PAX are highly intelligent and were highly motivated, so they caught on quickly.
Mosey and then, On the First Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: 1 Burpee
Mosey and then, On the Second Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: 2 X-Squats and 1 Burpee
Mosey and then, On the Third Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: 3 Iron Cross, 2 X-Squats, and 1 Burpee
I think you get the idea, so here is the lineup:
1 – Burpee
2 – X-Squats
3 – Iron Cross Imperial Walkers
4 – Hand Release Merkins
5 – LBCs
6 – Side Straddle Hops
7 – Lunges. 14 Depending on how you count.
8 – Mountain Climbers. 16 Depending on how you count.
9 – Crunchy Frogs
10 – Merkins
11 – Squats
12 – Thru the Tunnels
Mosey back to the flagpole, light stretch to finish, and:

If you missed today’s workout, you once again missed a sampling of products from YHC’s employer.
You also missed a champagne toast and an early ringing in of the new year. Full disclosure: when buying the champagne in Publix, YHC selected from the bottom shelf and bought purely on price.
