Naked moleskin:

• Strong turnout for the Area 51 convergence, including a handful of FNGs.  The rain came down pretty hard around 6:45AM, but conditions were good once the clock hit 7:00AM.
• 1 minute squat hold – to a rendition of the Declaration of Independence led by a Canadian [Strange Brew]! Something is clearly wrong with that, but hey it worked and we all sang along!
• Joker’s partner exercises brought the 2nd F to a new level.  It was close to a mutiny during the first group, so YHC made some modifications for groups #2 and #3.  The partner leg press and  the partner CDD may be keepers, but the other exercises were a bit of a bust.
