Moleskin:
Thank you to Harley for the opportunity to Q Skunkworks – one of my favorites. The goal today was a total body workout, keeping the heart rate elevated w/very little running. Since many of the pax enduring the 10K merkin challenge, thought it was a good idea to knock out 200 or so in the midst of lots of kettlebell work. Not sure about everyone else but my merkin muscles have been shaking all day. Guys were killing it out there this morning with too many Larry Birds to name. I will point out that Fireman Ed and Radar seemed to be completing their Kettlebell Routines well ahead of the pax which led to discussions of whether or not they were weilding Hollow or Carbon Fiber Kettlebells. Nice work gents. Solid effort by each and everyone this morning. It is incredible to see how strong many of the A51 pax have become this year – the hardwork is really paying off.
There was some chatter early on in the workout which seemed to taper off as the swings, presses, merkins and squats began to mount. One of the gems that I heard had something to do with the pax remaining in a circle while completing squat jerks…I’ll let you decide where it went from there.
Thank you Busch for taking us out this morning and for reminding us of what is truly important.
