Pax anticipated probably more pull ups than were handed down as YHC has a certain fondness for this wonderful movement (although it was noted by Crabcake that YHC was not performing them properly – i.e. full extension). Quantity vs. Quality!. Just to note – YHC did not call Crabcake out for his poor form while exiting the mulch pile. Hope that ankle heals quickly brother.

The coupon circuits seemed to be especially enjoyable for many. As always, the size and density of coupons vary greatly between men. FYI – if you could do a full sprint with your rock in one hand, it was probably too small.

Two FNGs were in the gloom this morning – solid work brothers… Welcome Rollback and Backhand! See you both (hopefully) in the gloom. Backhand, don’t make me regret going to the carpet to keep you from being named Fuzzy Balls!

Announcements: Still 8 spots for the GORUCK. No beard required. Get with Dora if you are interested.
