NAKED MAN MOLESKIN:

• This was an enjoyable workout … until the entire body numbing soreness on Sunday morning.
• YHC turned on the TV just before the beatdown started and we really just watched it for the next 45 or so minutes.
• Honestly, after a few brief minutes, I didn’t notice the beautiful first day of Spring 27 degree wind chill factor.  We warmed up QUICKLY.  I’m pretty sure that @Turnover was down to his t-shirt at one point.
• @Turnover repeatedly commented on the playlist sounding familiar.  Yes TO, it’s the same one that I created for IPC2019 and have reused over and over and over and over again.  He was also able to say all of that while killing the workout.  Too easy?
• @Workbench is a beast.  The Q attempted to offer a modification on the Overhead Knee-to-Ground Lunges, but WB was having none of that and immediately showed up the Q.  For the next 7 rounds, that damn cinder block was hoisted overhead and YHC never dared to look in WB’s direction again out of shivering fear.
• How else can I say the same thing about @Drip that we always hear?  Smile, blah, kind words, blah blah, encouragement, geez.  Same @Drip time.  Same @Drip place.  Not a single sign of struggle through any one of the 225 burpees.  It’s kind of weird, huh?
• Admittedly my back was to @Bullwinkle for a good portion of the workout, but he mentioned that he was going to modify the burpees.  However, my delirium must have set in because everytime I turned around, he was doing burpees?  What exactly was the modification?  More burpees?  That dude pushed himself.
• @RootCanal did TootCanal type things.  He, of course, made his presence known in the usual way.  But then he kept expressing his joy for being out on such a glorious morning with fine men.  Um sir, did you not think doing 225 burpees and cinder block work was difficult?  What in the ever-living heck were you so happy about?  And who were you working out with?  Either you keep a little of that nitrous oxide in your SUV to snort before beatdowns or you need to see a neurologist.
• If I remember correctly, @Crash’s first workout was at the frigid Jamison Park convergence a little over one year ago.  (Hey co-Q @Whirly, remember that?  Yeah, that wound is still deep buddy.  Good thing there was no burpee penalty back then.)  And as it’s been well documented, there’s only been one FNG that has ever returned after a Zima Q.  He’s a good one, by the way.  Right @Burns.  Too bad he had other things to do this morning.  Anyway, I used to be insulted by that fact and wondered if I needed to modify the workouts (or maybe my charming personality) when an FNG was present, but I’ve learned to shrug it off now and charge on.  In this case, I felt bad for @Crash and thought, “We’ll never see this guy again.”  But lo and behold, he actually appeared at a couple of subsequent beatdowns.  Was the curse broken?  Well, the global pandemic had something to say about that and forced @CrashTestDummy, like many of us, into his underground bunker for months.  But whatever the hell he was doing down there worked (besides chopping off ⅔ of his nickname).  He completely dominated this morning’s workout.  The burpees were performed at lightning crash speed (see what I did there) and the way he threw around that cinder block, we heard echoes of thunder crashes (I did it again).

PRAYERS:

• Helping @Bullwinkle’s sister get ready for college.
• @Turnover’s friends who are struggling with pregnancies.

Zima Out.

Hey @VanGogh, I left the keys – oh, nevermind.  I have the next Q in a few minutes.
