The Naked Moleskin:
The Dirty MacDeuce seemed to be a #crowdpleaser with great participation of the PAX especially in keeping YHC honest at the end when O2 deprivation was creeping in and the cadence was going south. There were some good comments on the run back to the park. Hops mentioned he heard just the right amount of groans and Jamboree thought it was a good full body workout.
That was all before Skywalker went intergalactic on the PAX when we took the field at the park. Squats and Dolly were a good pairing with the 100 yd (2x) dash, but the Burpee/dash combo had even the runners in the group gasping for gloom. The final Mary COP was a painful final touch and had the PAX begging for mercy by the second “hold it” call. #crowdpleaser
Welcome to FNG Mike Jackson (World Tour). He really “beat it” out there today during a real “thriller”… Ok enough with the references, but great job out there and we look forward to seeing you again in the gloom.
