Naked Moleskin:

1)      Set a goal and then tell everyone about it.  I think the PAX thought YHC had lost it when they learned the plan was to complete 237 burpees today.  Many times the Q likes to hide what he has lurking around the next corner, but YHC needed to commit himself and the PAX to the task that lay ahead. #FEBA

2)      There was some chatter after the first 10 burpees but it died down pretty quickly after that as everyone tried to focus on the task ahead

3)      Strong work by all to complete what was a mentally and physically challenging workout.  Shout out to The Worm and Loogie with strong second posts
