Gopher

Thirty dudes posted at Death Valley for the latest installment of the Gopher workout.  Some have done this workout before and some had not.  All suffered from O2 deprivation though.  10 guys (I think I got everyone) posted to swing some heavy metal beforehand….with tunes!

COT

Moleskin:

  • After tweeting out last night that today would be the Gopher workout, I was met with questions this morning about what is the Gopher.  You’ll see.
  • It was difficult to tell in the dark, but I think it was Joker (in the fuzzy wool vest), Salt Lick and Soul Glo crushing the course.  Strong work, fellas.
  • T-claps to Bulldog and Cottonmouth, who sported their cool ruck sacks throughout the workout.  Of course, everyone else believes they were probably empty.  Or maybe they just had snacks in there.
  • The group was pretty spread out today, so I didn’t hear too much mumble chatter.  Purple Haze, The Shore and I were in agreement that we couldn’t wait to get to the LBC’s as that seemed like a break.  Sound off in the comments with other observations.

I did the whole thing thinking it was the Groundhog, since you repeat the same thing over and over (you know, like the Bill Murray movie). Every time I came to the burpees, I thought to myself, “why do I continue to do this?”

Now I learn that it is in fact the gopher, and not the groundhog.

What’s that about?
