The Other NCAA Tournament and A Little St Patricks Day
Date: 03/17/2018
PAX: Ink Spot, Bulldog, Boomerang, Green Acres, Light Brigade, Undertow, Total Recall, Tuco, Hoptoberfest, Drama Queen
Busy work weeks and back to back Q duties led to limited planning for this workout. Sure we could do something around St Patrick’s Day but everyone was doing that. How about something related to the NCAA tournament – the one on ESPN. Wrestling. I would just pull out some of my old standard that YHC knows the pax loves and we’d all have fun.
A decent # of pax were there on time considering all the other distractions of the day – 1st Pres retreat and Break something runners. 8 began on time to be quickly joined by Green Acres, the RIRO specialist. Bulldog would join us much later but better late than never.

Pax demographic on the respect side today. Thanks for hanging out with the old guys – TR, Tuco and Hoptoberfest
Some grumbling on wrestling drills especially the sit outs aka Dry Dock Crabs – a few are starting to catch on but still work to do
Some pax didn’t think Bent over rows qualifies as “resting your arms” . Just trying to mix up the over head stuff
Drunken Irish run had potential for disaster but pax powered through possibly from previous experience in such a state
After the workout Ink Spot pointed out lack of merkins – Cobains – forgot to add them back after taking them out. No one pointed out lack of burpees

Always an honor
