45 minutes that felt like forever

45 minutes that felt like forever

Quote: “Time stands still best in the moments that look suspiciously like ordinary life.”

There was nothing ordinary about the twelve fine fellas who joined up with twelve double downers for a forty five minute workout that seemed to last a lot longer…

MOLESKIN

When you screech into the parking lot last and you see a group of lads doing burpees at your expense one would think you’d park up and join up with them as soon as humanly possible. That’s what Fletch did. Hairband not so much. Once we tapped out on the impromptu burpee punishment and jogged by Hairbands ride he was still fixing his rock style do and eye liner in the rear view mirror. It took the pax another lap for our guitar hero friend to finally feel that he was ready and looked the part to take to the Kevlar stage.
Moving on after the short man side straddle hops and the imperial “warkers” the pax were warm and ready for a beatdown that seemed to get lost in a time warp. The merkin pyramids (stolen from 49er) were tough on the chest and combined with the hills kept the lungs longing for o2 with even Fletch sucking wind. After three variations of the merkin pyramids and nine hill sprints it was 0542 by my watch – 12 minutes in. We headed to the soccer fields by 0544 and completed the first round of 10 stations by 0556. When time is going slow we go with “Repeato” and 10 more stations were completed by 0607. Plenty of time by GMT standards so some exercises and sprints took us to 0614 leaving a full 60 seconds of 43 flutter kicks representing what I thought was the War Daddy’s age. QIC made the mistake of forgetting that Susudio in his black catsuit had toppled Crabcake for the War Daddy award by topping the 50 barrier. Busch made the call to make up the difference but alas we were finally out of time.

Great to see Geraldo back after his KB injury and also Zip-A-Dee counting aloud after his many ailments! Pleasure leading and have a great weekend fellas!
