A Good Workout
Written by Mermaid on behalf of Lobsta Roll
Shovel flag flying. Pax gather around. Pleasantries exchanged. Lobsta Roll opens with, “I am Lobsta Roll.” Gives a quick disclaimer and closes with, “We will get a good workout today.” PAX had no doubt about that. Off we went.
Mosey around a few of the expansive lots. Circle up.

YHC EH’d a few PAX he saw on Tuesday in Ballantyne for Lobsta Roll’s Q. Champagne was hesitant due to the schedule for the rest of the week. He may have intel on Iron Horse’s weinke for Hydra on Thursday. Painful workout today. Great job by the PAX to push through it. T-claps to Lobsta Roll for another strong Q. #ISI
Glad to see Lorax come back out to Anvil. Tough one for second post at this AO. You may see the theme at Anvil already. Tough workouts and a solid crew who pushes each other. Every week. Come on back next week. T-claps to Voodoo who has attended 2 other burpee-heavy workouts in the past few days. Fairly certain he has a strong distaste for the exercise.
Mumblechatter was around the pain. 225 total Burpee. Strong takeout from Young Love today.

That was tough! A good workout, indeed.
Couple highlights:
– As noted, classic disclaimer: “I am Lobstah Roll.” Definitely top 5 with that warning.
– In COT, as we were counting off, Brushback knocks out a few burpees. Why? “I owed him 4 more burpees.” Wow! Way to keep it honest.
– pre-game mumblechatter included some hate for the burpee. LR played it cool and just grinned.
– Getting called out by the Q for “lack of hustle.” Awesome. Gotta say, I knew the toes-to-bah were coming and I wasn’t looking forward to them.
Ok, enough of that, I gotta go ice up…
YL, I’ll leave it to you to validate the legal protections afforded by that disclaimer, but anyone who has ever posted with LR knew what it meant and he delivered.
Mermaid knows me and my distaste for burpees all too well. After Champagne’s Q at the Brave (~170 burpees) and YL’s Q at Foxhole (180 burpees), I had definitely reached my burpee limit for May and was planning to steer well clear of any Lobstah Roll/Runstopper/Mermaid Qs for the remainder of the month. Unfortunately, I ran into Mermaid at Swift/Bagpipe on Tuesday and I couldn’t not show up after that. After plowing through all of the burpees at the previous workouts (shocking, I know), I was hopeful that LR might decide to actually focus on some of his weaknesses and not call an absurd workout with 225 burpees. What I failed to realize is that he’s really a cyborg and does not have weaknesses. Anyway, I kept up as long as I could, but eventually broke down and did merkins after the first 100 burpees. I’m not proud of it, but I would still be in that parking lot now if I’d tried to get through all of them. When you think about it like that, I did it for the rest of the PAX. You’re welcome. #IAmThird
And for the record, Gomer Pyle has attended the same trifecta of workouts and I’m pretty sure he did more of the burpees this morning. T-claps to him for getting after it in the last week. I think he’s almost ready for his VQ…
