-True to form, Floor Slapper arrived at 7:02-ish… stealthly finding his way into the warmup COP.
-Today, I [Joker] thought for sure I gouged Crabcake’s head when we were doing the partner rock sit ups. Crabacake was closer to me [behind me] than I realized… when I took the rock above my head I hit something pretty good… it was Crabcake’s head… good thing he was wearing a fluffy hat. If you see Crabcake this week and he acts confused… you will know why.
-Lots of merkins today. With Runstopper as our inspiration, we repped out 310 today. I was feeling pretty good about this, but I just saw Runstopper tweet that they did 340 today at The Rock.
——-Temporary Pause in Backblast———–
I just took a break from my backblast to do 31 merkins… so, that makes 341 for the today… sorry Runstopper. Speaking of Runstopper, the men of Area 51 felt so buff after this morning’s workout that we agreed we would wear our collared shirts “Runstopper style” [i.e., with a couple of extra buttons undone at the top, and no undershirt] for the balance of the weekend. You know we love you Runstopper.
