Introduction

Back in November when, I signed up for this Q, I thought it would be fun to Q both the EOP and The 7:00 Black Panther to celebrate my 48th Birthday.  At the time it sounded good, but I did not anticipate that the temperatures would be zero to sub zero with the wind chill.  The week leading up to the Q, I made modifications to my workout, to try and keep the PAX dry and to make sure I inserted more movement throughout the workout to keep the blood flowing.  The week leading up to the Q, it snowed multiple times, so I headed over to the parking lot the day before the Q to check out the scene.  The normal OP parking lot was a mess, with ice everywhere.  I headed over to the adjacent lot and it was much better, however still showing signs of ice and areas of caution.  However, this is the better of the 2 options so this is where we will do our Thangs.  That night I laid out my clothes for the EOP workout as well as a change of shirts for the later Q.  I got some new tunes loaded to the playlist and headed to bed.

Morning came early, I printed out my agenda for the day, anticipating that my phone could create problems given how cold it was.  As it turned out, I was right.  Trying to anticipate the cold, I even brought a winter hat to place the phone in while I had it laid next to the speaker.  That lasted for about 30 minutes before my phone died and the music stopped.  As I pulled into the parking lot there were a few cars there, but no movement.  Everyone was staying warm in their cars until right before game time.  It was 3 minutes before show time, I got out, grabbed the coupon, and headed over to the flag.  Cars continued to flood the parking lot as 5:15 hit.
