A Monster Named Hydra Rises Up From The Sweet Briny Gloom
32 men gathered in the damp, thick gloom this morning to once again push mind and muscle to the limit. Hard work was done. Pain was delivered. Moisture was rapidly expelled from every pore. Oxygen was stolen from the surrounding air in rapid, gasping moments of desperation.

Moleskin:
Strong work by all, the humidity is really out in full force and adding a lovely new element of discomfort to the morning workout. It was hard to take notice of anything humorous or noteworthy during the workout due to the stinging sensation of sweat pouring down my face and into my eyes. If you have anything to add to the moleskin, post it in the comments below.

Not even partly humourous when trying to do bear crawl 20 paces, 5 burpees, and repeato – maybe shouldn’t have made this my 3rd rotation. Also, I now know why Mighty Mite and I were the only ones at the Food Lion on Candlewyck at 0515. The run back to there after the workout was very unsavory. Great Challenge, though!
This one was a smoker! Very unsavory. Was there any significance to the # 33 this morning? Bear Crawl around the track with 33 burpees! Then run to the playground for 15 pullups and 33 burpees! It was like I took wore my shirt in a swimming pool and got right out of the water at the end of the workout, thats how much I sweat this morning! T-Claps on the lead DK & Bugeater.
The number 33 was chosen on a whim as part of a larger plan that never materialized. Look to see the number 33 return to a workout in the near future in a much more dramatic/fun/CSAUP fashion. Far Side asked if the 33 was a Rolling Rock reference…..being that I’m a Pennsylvania native, I’d say that works out just fine.
