NMM:

Random Q Thoughts after 105 minutes of oxygen deprivation:

• YHC underestimated the physical attrition that dive bombers and Lt. Dans, coupled with the humidity, would have on our SuperMax rep count. We almost completed the second lap, resulting in ~120 reps of each exercise.
• The Alcatraz crew modified that Tabata time to 30 seconds on, 10 seconds off. YHC’s phone became sweat- logged (seriously), so Bullwinkle subbed in his unit.  We got through 4 rounds of side A and 3 rounds of side B.
• Bullwinkle is accelerating physically and relationally. He is increasingly taking a leadership role, and his running pace has increased by 2 minutes per mile in just a short time.  Tclaps!
• Some people have guns tucked away in every nook and cranny; SourMash has bourbon, including in his truck!
• Fender did Fender things during SuperMax. He led us the whole way, even after the Q required the lap leader to pick up the six wherever they were at the end of each lap.
• Good to see Tweety Bird, Rust Bucket (driving something that was anti-rust today), Subfloor, Sea-Man, and The Jerk. YHC is impressed at the committed contingent that the ROCC has with these guys.
• Schultz flew by YHC on one of our intra-Tabata runs. Good to see him returning to form.
• The Alcatraz workout was clearly not enough for The Pharaoh, Rust Bucket, and Crash (and others?) as they jogged with their blocks overhead when returning them to the block depot.
• Huck passed up the beach for a double-down. YHC sent waves of sweat in his direction as compensation.
• BamBam, YHC’s 2.0, was phenomenal. He has really grown up in the past year which is both encouraging and bittersweet.  He held his own throughout the double-down and, per VG’s instructions, a donut was purchased for him on the trip home.
• It was a miserable morning, humidity-wise, but made enjoyable by the men around me. Thank you for your push and doing stupid stuff together.  VG, thanks for getting me out on a Saturday.  The keys are in one of the sewer drains, having floated away with the profusion of sweat.
