BRR recovery week meant low numbers. But the 12 that showed were hungry and we did some solid work with a little old school, back to our mission Running/Bootcamp #F3FastTwitch. Speaking of old school, the promise of no hills brought out some guys who hadn’t been in a while…Champagne and Floorslapper. Floorslapper looked less like a doctor and more like a hobo…but appearances are deceiving as he made a solid push at Cane on the burpee round. Cane clearly sandbagged every round so he could show off during the Round 6 burpees #VetMove. Champagne starred as himself…busting VP on his squat form, telling him he looked like one of those desktop water birds. It’s true…VP did. He was probably practicing his toilet approach for post-The Beacon activities.

Drago is 18. The rest of old. It showed. Except for BA, who stayed up front for all the rounds. Pretty sure BA will be “randomly” selected for testing soon #PEDs.

Hairball made a cameo for the second week in a row…keeps mumbling something about appearance fees and not touching the ground. Poptart kept mumbling complaints about every round…but then redeemed himself by suggesting the hilly route for the return back to base. He also suggested the sprints at the end. Pax suggested potential name change to #DBag.

The ironman Madison was having nothing of a slow mosey, taking off and leading us on the run back to base. Utah was solid as usual. And Grease Monkey keeps showing up…putting in the work each week and keeps getting faster.

Enjoyed it men.
