Moleskin

Still all kinds of humid today but, unlike last week, we spent more than half of our time outside the deck and in the fresh air which helped a lot. The burpees and the stairs did not, but it’s The Brave so that’s how it goes. Solid crew of 7 kicked some ass today. Two made it 4 full rounds, one a good amount faster than the other (you can guess who that was — hint, he was bald). The rest made it almost 4 rounds and most guys got right around 5 miles or more.

Vanishing AMRAP was courtesy of Rachel who did a different version of it a year or so at The Brave and it sucked so much it stuck with me until I could pull it out today. You’d think it would get easier dropping exercises, but it never feels that way. Feels like you just barely escaped death, but that’s about as good as it got.

• Purell gets props for even showing up after waking up at 5:02. The man skipped his morning business to make it there by 0515, true to his word that he would show. I think the extra gut weight slowed him down as YHC was able to keep up with him longer than usual.
• Kirby almost hacked up a lung for pretty much the entire workout. Not sure if it was a cold or if he swallowed a cicada, but he toughed it out anyway. Nice work.
• Fire Hazard loved this workout and never complained, not once. In fact, he is still not complaining about it.
• Cheese Curd actually seemed to love the workout and never skipped a rep. Strong work today. Thanks for coming out.
• Wild Turkey, our birthday boy, failed to mention it was his birthday but we did plenty of burpees in celebration anyway. Happy Birthday, WT!
• One Niner alternated between pushing hard and checking on the 6 — about all you can ask for in a new Site Q.

Speaking of One Niner, thanks for stepping up as YHC’s replacement Site Q of The Brave. It’s been fun, but I can only take so much of Mario and Tuck so it’s time for someone else to step in. Seriously though, One Niner is a regular and should bring some great new energy and ideas to The Brave. Welcome!!
