27 men came to stomp on and make fun of Participation Trophies at Dromedary on a 100% humidity morning. After YHC’s preblast called out all the competitors, I was interested to see who showed. Not To my surprise, there were only a few that took the morning off for good reasons. #DoctorsNote. Thanks to some brainstorming with Foundation the night before, YHC tried to implement some friendly competition into the workout.

MOLESKINE:

my usual poor minimal explanation
- Thanks to the guys getting and returning the cinder blocks (Goodfella, The Grease Monkey, Rockwell, Run Flat, Halfback, Delta)

- Jingles was back to his usual SJT (Standard Jingles Time) after a few days of posting early
- Happy Birthday to 2.0 Tupperware (or is it Rubbermaid)
- Nice work by 2.0 Epsilon staying towards the top groups
- StubHub and Halfback are doing a great job pushing each other to post often . . . They are getting Fast
- Great to see Soft Pretzel pushing through an injury
- Shake n’ Bake and Boucher are country strong . . . and not slow either
- Das Boot and Bratwurst claim to be runners but didn’t see much issue with them running with those weights
- Hollywood and Dasher continue to set the pace . . . Way not to slow down so we can catch you
- Much respect for Johnny Utah for the effort each week (and for taking us out with an awesome prayer)
