ANNOUNCEMENTS: blood drive and 5k COT: thanks for the opportunity to lead. I have only been to Sparta 2x’s and both were my Q’s. Tried to honor the running bootcamp workout format…that is not what this group wanted Modified the wenkie and it caused us to do a few more hot laps at the end. Possibly the longest 60 min workout Good group of guys pushing hard…when they wanted! We did lose site Q at some point, Joker refused to touch the ground, Orange whip ran slow then fast, Keystone did most of the exercises and Geraldo kept pushing hard.
Good group…have a good day!!

kirby set the tone early by making us laugh during warm ups and beatdown. The mumble Chatter continued as we continued to push thru each round with painful wall sits. Great vibes all around. So happy u came out buddy. We leaned on each other to stay motivated and complete each set / round without facing burpee penalty for not completing the wall sit timer . Big Props to kirby for staying back with the Chapel hill pax and staying on course with the White board workout . wildturkey: This man has no quit in him. The more brutal the work, the more fun he has. You can see it in his face. wildturkey resiliency is second to none. Puro Salvaje :japanese_ogre:! Starch progress has been Amazing. He is a grinder . He caught a second wind and pushed thru the 2 min wall sit like it was nothing.. He’s got my vote for SOB Rookie of the year!
