Strong group of men this morning and great to see D-Day again, all chigger bitten and freshly back from F3 Savannah.  YHC did have to wonder if he had been hanging out with the pods of unvaccinated children down there as his bites had a measly pattern to them.  The Warmarama was especially nice, but then the music died and the work began. I had a special feeling in my heart when the two normal rule followers both assumed a standing recovery position during the Magnificent Seven even though no recovery was called and we were only half way through. Since there was no music, several requests went out for DQ to sing, but unfortunately for us, he declined.  Having heard him sing in the past, YHC was especially disappointed.  Zima was a great partner to have during the traveling burpees, quietly pushing and encouraging me. Of course out loud he was saying ugly things about invitations being revoked but that seemed more thinly veiled  compliments.  Turnover and Posthole powered through the workout as usual and are such nice guys their complaints seemed more like constructive criticism.  VG and Huckleberry blew ahead of the PAX.  Huck probably set a new land record sprinting through the partner carry with our resident Goliath on his back.  Speaking of VG, it did take him three fourths of the work out to finally get warmed up enough to take off his jacket. I guess that happens when your resting heart rate is in the 40s. We weren’t sure if Zima and D-Day were going for EC during the dips or were just having trouble counting, but either way, Strong Work.

100 Burpees, 120 Merkins, and 50-550 Dips/Ranger Erkins (depending on your group).  Hooyah!
