Enter SPEARHEAD, Leave Smoked

Enter SPEARHEAD, Leave Smoked

The Thang:

With Metallica on the Boom Box and a crispness in the air, 5 PAX came with Rucks packed for a beat down this morning at SPEARHEAD.  Friday’s are a change of pace from the Tuesday and Thursday GRC specific training and it gives us a chance to go back to traditional F3 routines, while of course carrying a 40-50lb Ruck sack.

 Moleskin:

 I have to admit, the music has been quite a hit and gives us that extra fuel we need to dig a little deeper into the reserve tanks.  Tuesday was Beastie Boys, today was Metallica, so come on out to see what mix-tape will be in rotation at SPEARHEAD next week! 

 T-Claps to the entire group.  With only 5 people, there is nowhere to hide or cheat on the reps and job well done!  As always, Liquor Cycle is trying to set some kind of Bear Crawl speed record, Dora is a beast that never loses his breath, BLC will do anything you ask of him with a smile and insane strength and Check Point never seems to tire at all.

It was very satisfying to see, at the end of a routine like this, 5 bodies looking up at the starts, wiped out and in complete comfort on a rocky asphalt parking lot.  I never thought rocks would feel so good!

As always, thank you for letting me lead and I am grateful for the opportunity to work out with each of you.  You are some of the strongest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.

 Respectfully,

 – The Hoff
