Dumb #1 = century set merkins to start the workout… bad idea, especially for a warm up. YHC isn’t too proud to admit when a great plan has gone awry, but we finished those darn merkins, albeit a bit ugly at the end.
Dumb #2 = starfish drill to start the second 30 minutes. Many of the PAX were stumbling at the end, but once again… we perservered.
Random observations:
Girardi and Ocho Cinco blazed the trail on the 800 Meter run… strong work.
Tiger Rag destroyed the starfish, leaving everyone in his wake.
Great to see Biscuit back in the gloom.
Triple claps to Boss Tweed… 58 years young, and getting after it!
Cottontail showing some major strides during recent weeks.
