– Strong work by the “early crew” [Short Sale, Header, Stage Coach, Salt Lick, Bratwurst and Countertop], posting for a 6AM workout prior to soccer games, etc.  – Triple claps for Countertop doing a double down, posting for both the 6AM and 7AM workouts

– The “merkin chasers” during the Indian Run proved to be confusing at 715am. Some pax tried doing them IN FRONT of the line.  And an Indian run with 26 guys in one line is an Indian MARATHON. Next time, two lines.

– Upper Body Rock Ciabatta brought out the best from the Pax, including a signature McGee ‘Unsavory’ call

– Passing your rock to your brother keeps a pax honest about how hard he plans to work out that day, doesn’t it?

– LOTS of mid-exercise illicit black market rock-swapping happening mid-Ciabatta

– The ungloved pax learned just how cold granite can get this morning. Expect to see a run on handwear at your local hardware store this afternoon

-Strong showing from McGee and Lobster Roll in the 800 Meter Race [which is actually about 950 Meters]

-Cowboy was catching a lot of grief this morning – as usual – when he barked out, “I can just stay home and get this treatment from my wife”

-APK wore a hideous shirt today — he claims it is “wind proof”… just sayin

Countertop pulling a double down? Sounds like he’s ready for the GoRuck challenge! Along with all you other regulars doubting your abilities who just need to sign up online and prove to yourself what your really capable of! The hardest part is signing up. GoRuck!

Joker passed up an excellent humblebrag opportunity – per usual, he set the pace in the 800.

Early crew was well run. QIC was split three ways with each man leading for the first time. Short Sale lead the last 1/3 of the workout but since I was still only half awake can’t name the first two. Help me out with the un-named…

Nice work by Dora with his first time as QIC at the 7:00 am workout. Fist time I’ve seen an electronic Weinke/Timer strapped to the wrist. Dangerous game when you are workin the Rock Ciabatta.

T-claps to all the new QICs

Lesson Learned – never wear finger-less gloves when playing with COLD rocks. Fingers were icy and palms were sweaty and added a New level of pain as fingers started to thaw. #pain

Joker, You are just trying to deflect that I caught you “stepping” out of your vest like it was a dress….

And you forgot to mention that my shirt is not only wind proof, but bullet proof also….And HIGHLY effective at deflecting wind and bullets!!!!
