18 drunk uncles eschewed @VanGogh’s guerilla social media marketing tactics and drove way north to #BellsNWhistles this morning.  There was even an invasion/infestation from WeFoCo up to NoFoCo.  And we were all pleasantly surprised to see the gates wide open so that we could avoid the EC Farmer Carry from the gate down to the flagpole for this morning’s festivities.

The Thang:  The Drunk Uncle

Partner Up.  Size and fitness goals do not matter.  Although size of bell might matter if sharing.  Partner 1 runs a lap around the road around the flagpole.  Partner 2 stays and performs the circuit.  When Partner 1 returns, Partner 2 runs a lap around the road around the flagpole and Partner 1 stays and starts the circuit.  Each partner resumes the circuit wherever he left off on the previous round.  First time through the circuit, perform 2 reps of each exercise.  Escalate by 2 reps per exercise each time through the circuit.  Each runner alternates the direction (clockwise vs. counterclockwise) each time he runs.  Because it is all about #Balance.

COT/BOM:  YHC took us out

Awesome group out there this morning.  So cool for YHC to work out with a bunch of dudes as our numbers in ATX are still on the small side of things.  Lots of guys pushing hard this morning while also finding time to get in some 2nd F.

YHC’s brother-in-law @Nails drove over from Durham this morning so he wins the distance award, much to the chagrin of the WeFoCo boys including @SourMash, @Schneider (still not sure which one of them is the #DrunkUncle, maybe both of them?), @Katniss, @Harden (who was actually halfway home to Richmond and was going to have his #M pick him up at Reagan on her way out of town).  @Lace was a bada$$ partner this morning who saved YHC a bunch of reps because he was running those laps so fast.  Also saw some racing out there (@Lemming vs. @Poncho? as well as some others) and the alternating directions made for some good fist bump opportunities.

@Cobra wished YHC was more awesome.

@Bluto liked the music selection.  @TheSingingCowboy wasn’t so sure.
