NMM:

  • During warmups, pax strolled in with big blocks and other various apparatus. YHC had flashbacks to the scene in Anchorman where the news crews showed up for the duel.
  • Litterbox, Burns, the H.O.G., and Turnover led the way and then picked up the rest of us.
  • It was not fun. It was the hardest physical thing YHC can remember doing.  No one quit.  All finished.  T-claps to all.

    Awful. Awful. Awful. But guess what happened this morning? The sun came up, and we answered the bell for another day. Great job boys. Appreciate the front runners and young guys cheering on those of us in the back.
