Really enjoyed the time together this morning, despite the intense MC.

  • Wobegon saved the morning by leading the first bit of Warm-O-Rama as YHC returned from a EC beatdown with Moonlight
  • The PAX complained about YHC’s Abe Vigoda/Windmill exercise form and cadence.  We continued on anyways.
  • As always, the Howling Monkeys were a #crowdpleaser
  • Multiple PAX voiced concerns and worries about not getting to the rock pile this AM.  YHC assured them that heavy objects would be lifted.
  • Spamalot doubted YHC’s abilities during the buddy carry. We made it though.
  • Some of the PAX endorsed the workout as a “Shocker”
  • Today was further evidence that Rust Bucket simply isn’t human. He must be a cyborg.

YHC took us out in prayer.

As always, thanks for the opportunity to spend time together.  SYITG!

    Brutal beatdown as always Hedwig! Though small in nature, you are strong! Not many Pax have accepted the challenge of partner carry with YHC. You knocked it out of the park. Howling monkeys is definitely a #crowdpleaser. NOT.

    Good times, although corporate is reviewing possible fines for leading “Indian run” during a non-running beatdown. Since pax got back to parking lot right at 0615 taking in to consideration this may have been an Omaha to get us back on time.
    Spamalot was really working hard carrying Hedwig! Prompted thoughts of Monty Python: African vs. European Swallows, and weight ratios!

    Still feeling this one, so must have been a good one. Well done, Hedwig. Really love this AO and today was a particularly good morning. Hope to see all these Pax next week when Juice Box does something horrible to all in attendance.

    Great job, Hedwig. And thx to JB for partner work. Apparently there were some feelings hurt when the partners didn’t stay together. (Palin? BAM?). Maybe we need the attorneys of Cordell and Cordell.

    Good group today. Just so it’s noted in public: Manscape is a beast who works hard every workout.
