Spring hasn’t Sprung

Spring hasn’t Sprung

11 men (ranging in age between 12-61) decided to put the weekend behind them and stare the upcoming week square in the eyes. Work would be put in and all would be better for it.

No FNG’s in attendance, so after the disclaimer was given away we went.

Moleskin:
This was my first post at Basecamp, and probably my 3rd Monday post at any AO. YHC reserves Monday as a day of recovery but was looking forward to starting this week off with the Basecamp Q. It was quite a bit cooler than last week causing everyone to scramble for hats, gloves and an extra base layer. The goal of this morning’s workout was to keep everyone together while getting in some solid upper and lower body work. Not a ton of chatter out there this morning as most of the workout was spent running uphill or knocking out rep after rep of merkins and squats. Seemed like everyone was working hard during the 11’s as well as during the miniMurph. Lots of Merkins and squats today which the Pax will undoubtedly start to feel later this afternoon. As mentioned above, we had a wide range of ages out there putting in work today. The youngest at 12 and our eldest at a young 61. Strong work out there men. Marge and Fireman Ed were pushing the pace during the hill work. Triple 7, Smash, Gooney and others were making short work of the 11’s as well. Father/son duo of hammer and Sledge continue to post and push one another. Strong work from the 12 year old getting up early in the morning to work out with his pop. 61 year old—put in serious work this morning, looking strong on the hill work.

Thank you to Simba and Fireman Ed for the opportunity to lead at Basecamp
