Maybe YHC should start paying better attention to his watch.  On today’s “Morning Report” which YHC when he woke up at 405am with Qdrenaline hoping not to have missed his Q,  (you’d think after 10+ years of doing this, YHC would be able to get a good solid night’s sleep before a Q, but no……..) the Garmin suggested that today should be a “Rest Day”.  You see after a vacation getaway to northern Michigan for a week where other than one brief hike, YHC did next to nothing workout-wise, YHC did go on several long beach bike rides the past several days.  So Dr. Garmin, was looking out for my “training readiness” and thought today would be a good day to do nothing.  But duty calls and YHC had hatched a horrible plan on the drive home from OKI last night.  Nine others were curious and/or supportive enough to join in the fun and it went something like this:

Every Minute On the Minute:  1 Burpee for the entire 45 minutes. #CrowdPleaser

COT/BOM:  YHC took us out

FIN

NMM

When YHC got back in the car and looked down at his watch for the post-workout feedback, it said “Overreaching”.  Maybe that’s another word for #Sufficient.

@GreenAcres was disappointed in at least two things today:  his NC rock is still missing and YHC did not include B-52s “Rock Lobster” on the playlist.

@BAM started off with a weight vest on (#BadA$$) but stripped it off after the 2nd round of EMOM burpee.

Right as we were wrapping up the Ark Loader and listening to Bob Seger’s Like A Rock, a big Chevy truck came rolling towards us.  #ProductPlacement.

Massive mathematical confusion during Lt. Dan coming from our resident math teacher @DDay.  Maybe he was stuck doing Canadian math.  @BAM tried hard to straighten him out.  @Boomerang was near the scene of that crime too so it may have been him causing problems not @DDay

@Argyle was on time so we know he actually does know how to do SSH after all.

Here’s the playlist:

• Rock’n Me (Steve Miller Band)
• I Wanna Rock (Twisted Sister)
• Let There Be Rock (AC/DC)
• Loves Me Like A Rock (Paul Simon)
• Like A Rock (Bob Seger)
• Rock Me Amadeus (Falco)
• Rock With You (Michael Jackson)
• Rock You Like A Hurricane (Scorpions)
• Rock (Widespread Panic)
• Roots, Rock, & Reggae (Bob Marley & The Wailers)
• Cherub Rock (The Smashing Pumpkins)
• Let It Rock (Chuck Berry)

No running but the EMOM burpees really started to suck.

There were likely other notable events that YHC either didn’t hear or has forgotten already.

It’s great to be home and it was great to hang with you guys this morning.

Your friend,

Starfish
