Pain buffet

Pain buffet

YHC went into the back of the AO to put out some cones and chalk some pain stations.  When I left the parking lot was empty.  When I came back, there was a man down and several standing around.  And we hadn’t even started.  Not a good start.  But as I got closer, I saw it was just High Tide playing with his new KBs by doing some Turkish Getups. Relieved we were all OK, I counted down time to launch and then we got going.  Here’s the recap:

Disclaimer.  Grab some bricks from the crates and mosey to the concessions area of the four ball fields.  Put bricks down then mosey back to mini football field with some dynamic stretching en-route.

Moleskin:
After High Tide finished his solo KB beatdown, he put on a weight vest.  YHC wasn’t sure if it was a statement about the upcoming beatdown (billed as a “buffet of pain” in which case his weight vest would be sort of like carrying in your own footlong Subway to a Golden Corral).  So when we were walking back to the cars, I asked and learned that, no, it was just a timing thing: he’d been to the clearance at Muscle Driver yesterday and couldn’t pass the chance to grab a 20# vest for half off.  Having done some Ruck training last year for the RL&B, I can attest that that extra weight doesn’t sound like much, but feels like twice the amount when you’re trying to do even the basics.

Other than HT’s pain binge, I think everyone else got plenty filled.  I know I had all the downpainment I wanted for the day.

Thank you for the chance to lead.  I apologize for the day-late BB.
