Box of Pain

Five souls posted for an early dose of pain at 0630, then joined 17 others [at 0700] and the shovel flag for our regularly-scheduled programming.

The early crew took turns wrestling the Python (YHC’s shiny new 2″ diameter x 50 ft rope) with various battle rope exercises:

• Alternating whips x 30

• Nice work by first week FNGs Chum and Dolphin coming out for the early session with APK and Header.  At 1.1 lbs/ft, the new 2″ x 50 ft rope is a monster.
• Many Pax enjoyed their first Hairburners in the relays.  Always a good time.
• Man down?  APK disappeared unannounced into the bush to feed the baby birds some banana smoothie.  Agitation of the rope followed by hairburners.  That’ll do it.
• Earlier in the week, YHC [Joker] discussed with Tiger Rag the idea of “bringing Skunk Works to Area 51.”  Tiger Rag didn’t disappoint, smuggling some of his “box of pain” toys from Skunk Works.  Area 51 PAX will never again wonder, “what is a hair burner?”
• Pretty Box Quarterback found his nemesis… the plate inchworm relay… or as PBQB calls is, “Devil on a Plate”.
• Great to see Gekko [fka Coach] back in the gloom.
