Feel like making…What???

Feel like making…What???

19 Pax (plus a surprise visit) layered up for a massive beat down when Olympus converged with the Area’s toughest and most creative sites…Day Zero.  This was a recipe for a CPAUS routine that would send most men to the fartsack, however what was most concerning are the horrific shots from the Papparazi today…

COT:

Moleskine:

Outstanding work out there today from the Pax.  It was 28 degrees and the post took place 30 minutes earlier on a Saturday Morning.   There was some chatter about frozen fingers at the beginning but once the iron started moving all was forgotten about how cold we were.  This group of men flat out crushed it out there today.

Words simply can not describe the experience we had out there.  Workout was brutal but what stands out most is how somehow I-Heart Radio must have gotten a call from our Papparazi as the timing of some of those songs had us all wondering what was going on.  Just as YHC called out (and demonstrated) #4 above, which BTW looked very strange to anyone looking over…TR (our Papparazi) was just in time to snap a few photos and take some videos of the insanity he was witnessing.  To make it worse, the lyrics of Paul Rodgers were never written to mean such things…”Feel like making Love” had totally and completely other intentions.

And during Hoff’s Q a song came on by Faster Pussy Cat that was also questionable…guess we are switching to Pandora next week!  One this is for sure,…destroy those photos or videos at all costs!

Today was special for YCH, since at Olympus’ core, we were Day Zero guys.  Day Zero inspired us to get creative with our routines and continue to improve week in and week out.  The foundation that was built by Radar and Haze was critical to Gullah and I feeling like we could take on another site.  Thank you guys for letting me and our guys train with you.  It was a great convergence and look forward to more to come.

As always, it is an honor to train with such outstanding men!

Respectfully, The Hoff

i think it is best to just forget most of those very awkward and uncomfortable moments – fortunately my short term memory is fading with age (or is that the drinking?). TR now has currency on all of us – i expect the demands for small favors and payoffs to arrive shortly. Quite a nice beat-down today. enjoyed seeing the lesser weight KB’s come shooting past 5 guys on the indian run line.

That was a plucky little workout!

Upon return home Mrs Matlock was waiting with her running shoes. When I hesitated responding to her invitation to join her for a trail run at Col Beatty Park she asked if there was a 4th F for Fairy! A man has his pride, after all.
