Moleskin:

Lots of chatter heard today regarding the somewhat atypical choice of exercises selected by YHC. This is what you get when it’s 12 degrees out and the Q’s brain is fuzzy. Feel free to add commentary below, my brain wasn’t retaining much during the workout. Oh, and don’t worry, we’ll catch up on burpees in the spring, promise.

Announcements:

Be there for Chico’s virgin Q at Governator next week, come out and support a brother.

Signups for the BRR are ongoing currently, check with Baracus for more information.

Anytime is a good time to start training for a Goruck, just do it. Sign up. Get bricks. Train hard. That is all.

1. 12 degrees = instant CSAUP
2. Never wanted side straddle hops or imperial walkers to end as bad as I did today. 60 each was large order.
3. 1/8 of a mile 10-count bear crawl/5 Merkin felt like a mile!
4. Never done fewer exercises in 45 minutes and hurt like that.

Ditto, Bugeater. My face is still thawing out, and I love the way my sweatshirt stuck to the track pavement on the flutters…sounded like velcro when I got up.

T-claps to DK on the Q. Also, I’m impressed the backblast is longer than 5-6 lines since that’s about how many exercizes we did.
