“You guys must be Crazy”…
10 men came to Olympus to throw some iron around for a while and test their endurance…everyone was smoked with the exception of Lab Rat and Night Court who must have been injecting a superhuman serum before the routine!

T-Claps to the Pax…strong work by all and welcome to Night Court and Lab Rat who were FNG’s to Olympus today…however if you read the description above you already know there was something inhuman about their performance today. The two of them were 3 runs ahead of most of the Pax on the hills and really had us pushing the pace to keep up with them. Next time, someone give these guys heavier bells as to slow those beasts down!
As they were waiting on all of us to come back from the 2nd Farmer Carry, Lab Rat reminded us that Sugar Ray vs Butterbean would have ended with Sugar…and he even quoted an old WWF match between Andre The Giant and a smaller guy (we were too smoked to remember the name, possibly Hulk Hogan or The Ultimate Warrior) where the smaller guy over time wore down the much stronger and larger Andre…Also that same tactic worked for The Dread Pirate Roberts when he too wore down the Giant…right before having to do a battle of wits with Vincini. Lab Rat was right…I am sure after all the meatheads came back from the 2nd Farmer Carry he could have taken all of us down. lol
The Quote of the day happened during the Catch me if you can where an older gentleman said to us”You guys must be crazy” because he stood in complete shock at what we were doing early on a Saturday. It’s always nice when bystanders reinforce our CSAUP!
This was a complete smokefest! When Gullah and I wrote this one up it didn’t look like it was going to be this difficult, but it was definitely a kick in the teeth. It is with great appreciation that we Thank You for coming to our site today. It makes being Q so much more rewarding when surrounded by such strong and determined individuals.
Respectfully,
The Hoff and Gullah
