Omaha

6 PAX came for a serpentine inspired beat down at Asylum this morning.  YHC has dreamed of a triple serpentine spanning all 3 parking lots in the Asylum AO.  To the dismay and grumbling of the PAX – Dream realized!

Moleskin:

• The PAX were hanging tough until we hit Serpentine #3 – looking at the number for rows we had to serpentine through and the exercises called, some PAX were trying to Jedi mind trick me into calling an Omaha – Not today (these ARE the droids I am looking for…)
• Serpentine #3 was also where YHC called a different exercise than was in my head, causing me to wonder why everyone was modifying out of the gate – This was quickly rectified with grumblings as well as some well-deserved ribbing
• Shout out to FuseBox, who despite a nagging back injury from his own Q at Asylum, made it through with some well time jabs at YHC along the way
• Chastain, despite being listed with a lower case c, continues to push hard and show is speed
• Akbar is slimming to the point where we may need to call a pizza intervention and give that man some calories – Keep it up
• Dana is getting stronger each workout and was near the front all day
• Smokey must be getting good training in his other UC posts, becuz he’s always in front and hard to catch
