The crowd was lighter than usual at Death Valley this morning. Fourteen guys posted in the gloom and sweated their arses off. Jog one warm-up lap around the track.

COT
Moleskin:
- Strong work by all this morning.
- I had 2 more rounds of the partner work planned but had to audible after just 2 rounds. The original plan called for groups of 3 which would provide more breaks between running. Smaller group = more running.
- Another important audible called was my refusnick to be Geraldo’s partner. We looked like twins this morning and partnering would have been too much.
- The best part about Prairie Fire Mary is your partner’s sweat dripping in your face. I need to remember to put that on the shelf until winter.
- I think the group was in disbelief over the 10×10 call. No one enjoyed that!
- We had a Lance Armstrong sighting this morning as a gentleman calmly rode his bike down to the track and proceeded to knock out cycling laps while we knocked out burpees. I guess 24 hours of booty is getting close.
Announcements:
