Great support today for our new workout at Calvary. A big thanks to all pax who came out to support. Wednesdays are a popular workout day, so its important that we mix it up and support all of our workout groups to keep the size manageable.
We started out with a nice variety of merkins today, then moved on to the sandbox to torture our upper bodies further. YHC pulled out some crowd favorites with some bear crawls and gorilla walks, no flying wolverine, no gorilla walk. Then brought back a crowd favorite with the dragon walk! Plenty of heavy breathing after that.
After brushing the sand off we headed over to the shelter for a good dose of she-hate-me. Lots of mumbling about the temperature in the shelter. Even though its open on three sides, it felt at least 15 degrees warmer under there. #turnontheAC.
The pax was very glad to leave the sauna and head out to the soccer field for some interval sprints. OK…they were just glad to leave the sauna. I hadn’t planned on including the merkins during this part of the workout, but all seemed very pleased that I called the audible on the spot. #ohmyarms

Even a post work out jump in the pool failed to cool me off after this torture session! Great work. Blue Rhino (FNG) had quite a baptism. Tough work. Come again.

Well done, BA. Great inaugural workout. You set the bar high. You know it’s a solid workout when this group of PAX walk away drenched and gasping for breath.

Painful start to Anvil! Excellent stuff Baracus. Pretty sure I almost passed out during the decline merkins…part of the wonderful experience that is: F3! DK proved once again that he is part bear. Mistook Lex Luthor for Matlock with his LIFO arrival. And that’s the farthest north and west that Countertop has ventured in months! Great group this morning and T-claps to Baracus for delivering on the promised anguish.

Hops:

Now thats getting a tad-bit-old!
Like I said to a Federal Judge once: “The game does not begin until I arrive. Before that everyone is just warming the bench.” (He promptly asked me if I brought my check book along that day.)

Whew! Just awoke from a “post Anvil” nap induced by Baracus’ sauna spell! Awesome launch! I knew you’d “bring it” strong!
