This was my first “beatdown” Q. I was nervous, not gonna lie. I had previously Q’ed a ruck. Over planned a bit and had a few suggestions mid-workout that I will take under advisement for the next. Forgot to run through the 5 Core principles and need practice on the 1-2-3-1, 1-2-3-2 counting. Heard some fun “Spaceballs” quotes that added some, much needed, comic relief to the Tabata section. All the guys were supportive and appeared to “enjoy” the beatdown. 7/10, would recommend. Room for improvement. Respect to the guys who make it seem effortless (e.g. @Badger)
