FIN

COT

• GreeNest is next week.
• Prayers for aging parents and relatives.
• YHC took us out.

NMM

• Splash questioned not using the rocks in back nor the Lido deck, but was OK with that as there were no burpees.
• We enjoyed a few guys who normally post at Impossible Situation — we hope they go back there soon!
• The contents of the workout were pieces of other, older workouts that YHC has Qed.  I don’t think anyone else in F3 Nation uses the Beers and Sunshine routine.  That may be a sign that I should retire it.  (Probably not).
• The Q tried to make the workout palatable for a couple of PAX with knee issues, but left in a good bit of sideways running and skipping.  Ooops.
• Lampchop was probably the only PAX to make it to and mostly through the 25x round at the Multiplier.
• YHC’s weak shower speaker ran out of gas about halfway through.   YHC blames it on Parkay who used the charger for his iPhone overnight.
• The music was all Eagles, as they made good music through many years AND as I was silently predicting the slaughter that was Super Bowl LIX.
• All around strong work and a little heavy breathing, but everyone handled the reps and the exercises.
• At Coffeeteria, YHC had trouble remembering the 14th pax… even though he was sitting beside me trying to help me remember all the Pax.  Sorry, Starfish.

Thanks for the privilege of preparing and executing a workout at Purgatory, Undertow.  We missed you.

Peace,

Burlap
