One of YHC’s first Cryptonite posts was a Fracture Q which was a circuit of 5 stations, multiple exercises, burpees, and running. This was and continues to be one of the hardest posts for YHC and has reaffirmed that the workouts do not get easier you just get stronger. This was also the first post where I met Hemingway who I know hung back with me that morning where I struggled and now we push each other to this day. So it’s come full circle for me since that faithful first post at Cryptonite especially considering I chose to Q this workout today.
Conditions: Nice, perfect for putting in work.
One minute warning, no FNGs, disclaimer, welcome to Up Charge (1st time Cryptonite post), Tinkle, and Dunphy – been awhile since we’ve seen these guys at Crpytonite) and prayer.

YHC had prepared maps placed at each of the five stations (see below) but a description of each station is after the map. YHC went over the map with the 8 PAX and then we split into two groups and prepared for work. Groups completed 1 4/5 laps or two full laps.
