- QIC: Britney & Duggar (co-Qs)
- The PAX: Beanie, Duggar (co-Q), Britney (YHC, co-Q)
3 PAX gathered at the still-in-its-infancy Marathon for a game of pass-the-plates. Duggar reached out to YHC the night before to suggest we coordinate outfits and both wear our rucksacks to the WO. You shoulda been there! Given the small number of PAX, and only 2 rucksacks between us, we decided to improvise some coupons by using the ruck plates found inside our sacks. Luckily, YHC has an extra large sack and carries twice the normal man’s number of plates. We now had 2 20lbs and 1 30lb plates to play with. We quickly decided to rotate responsibilities and pass the Q along with the 30lb plate. He who carries the weight … calls the shots…
Condition
Cool. Crisp. Perfect.

CoT
TAPs for Karim “Smokey” Rashid, a colleague of YHC’s, who was notified Thanksgiving morning that his name was up for a heart transplant. He’d been on the waiting list for quite some time, and his general health had been deteriorating recently, so this was especially good news, albeit, I’m sure it’s incredibly scary to get a call that you’re going to undergo a very serious surgery in a matter of hours. Surgery supposedly went well, and TAPs are requested for his recovery and integration with new heart.
YHC took us out. Short, sweet and to the point.

Beanie is a true gazelle. Man, that guy takes off running like his shoes are on fire. In the relatively efficient lap at The Marathon (roughly 1/5 mile), Beanie probably took Duggar and YHC by 50 or more yards. So much for recovery mosey.
Never go anywhere without your rucksack. You never know when you might need it, or its contents. Today, it was a nice coupon improvisation that proved to deliver a simple, effective, painful workout. The best kind!
