MOLESKIN:
So I’m considering organizing an Impossible Mile Challenge possibly at the Highland Middle School track and getting a patch (Maybe?) Let me know if you’d be interested! I think the goal would be to do it standard in under an hour or broken up like the murph (maybe 20 meters at a time of each) in 45 minutes?
Great work today fellas. Keep on working hard. I made the joke during warmups when it was the same exact crew as the day before that I might be able to just Copy/Paste my last backblast but thankfully Coors showed and we changed up the block work as well as linger distances of the Impossible mile stuff with a full hour beatdown…
Looking forward to Q-ing one last time as a 21 y/o and my first as a 22 y/o next week. Gonna be FREEZN both days so come support my manly questionable decisions to Q both lol don’t leave me alone in the cold on my Birthday.
Coffee was had by yesterday’s crew and ran long (nice time)
Have a great weekend!

BACKBLAST: Saturday, 01/18/24 MacGyver @ The Hub
BACKBLAST: Saturday, 01/18/24 MacGyver @ The Hub
QIC: HHH
PAX: Mickey Tints, Heisenberg, The Mick, 2005, Dr. Freud, Peyton, Class Act, Fat Tire, Boo Boo, and HHH.
We had 5 ruckers. During the ruck we found a rabbit’s front leg along the MO7S curb and Heisenberg had a brown bear attack around 0640. Luckily he maide it back in time for the beatdown. The wind was cold so we utilized the areas of the Hub where there was non. Here is what we did.
Warm Up
SSH (20 IC)
MNC (15 IC)
Bean Pickers (10 IC)
IST (10 IC)
Hillbillies (10 IC)
8 Ct. Body Builders (10 IC)
Light Pole Lap
The Thang
Grab 5 sandbags and mosey to Dumpster Lot and then we decided to go to the south lot by the back hill.
90 sec timer (PAX performing exercise when the timer goes off has to do 5 burpees)
PAX that got stuck with the sand bags had to do penalty burpees as well.
Instead of standing around, all of the safe PAX did 1 burpee.
Time Bombs (No count. Next PAX goes when PAX before finishes rep)
– Burpees (Low Plank Start)
– Mike Tysons (High Plank)
– Sandbag Pull-Throughs (L+R) (High Plank)
– Shuffle Merkins (High Plank)
Lot Lap
Mosey through trail to Pull Up Bar Area
– Shuffle Squats-pass the SB CCW(Al Gore)
– No Surrenders-pass the sandbag CCW(Al Gore)
– Squat SB Pass (L+R) (Al Gore)
– Pull Up burpees (Al Gore)
Trail Lap
Mosey to dumpster lot
1-5 ascending BDE burpee suicide
Partner up (2 rounds)
PAX 1: run down and back
PAX 2: AMRAP Sandbag Burpees
Mosey to Flag
Mary
Plank for about a minute
Moleskin
Surprised to see this Q still open earlier in the week since they get snatched up pretty quickly most months. Also, surprised to see so many still open. If you haven’t Q’d in a while, please grab one. 1 a month is a great goal!
I thought this Q would be fun, but adding the sandbags and the compound exercises made it tough to really get enough reps in. I originally planned for 2 minutes, but I think that would have been good for only a few of the exercises like the pull ups. I wanted to do repeatos for both rounds, but I knew we wouldn’t have enough time. However, I did have to come up with the last couple of exercises on the fly which is not my forte. At least we were out of the wind for most of the workout so I will count this as a win.
9/10 pax made it to coffeeteria. Mickey Tints couldn’t make it, but he has a lot going on and family comes first. Some great book discussions at coffee and Fat Tire did make it back with his 2.0s to get some fellowship in.
If you have Monday off, try to post at Patmos or Col. Wheeler. Tuesday and Wednesday will be cold, but support the Q and show up. Layer up. They will keep you moving so you can stay warm. Can’t promise that, but that is my guess.
Thanks for letting me lead and for following along in my stupidity.

MOLESKIN:
The turnout was slightly disheartening after the great week or two we’ve had, but I’m very thankful for the 2 that did show and the work they put in! We missed the Hunters, get better Roadshow and Quit your job @The Mick F3 is more important XD
I think it would be a cool goal for our squad to take on the impossible mile at Wheeler some Saturday and give it like 6am-8am to complete. Thoughts? We completed this mini portion of it in about 25 minutes, obviously the broad jump burpees would be much longer, but I think 60-90 Minutes is very doable for most guys if they trained for a week or two.
Keep coming out and posting, Great job men and I’ll see you tomorrow.
Prayers for my family friend Bill grieving his sister…
