Focus for today was to slow things down, focus on form, and get a solid upper body burn. If you want to hit legs – come to Devils Turn tomorrow!
As we started the 4th set of 10 burpees the pax seemed to realize what kind of morning it was going to be, and there were a lot of not too positive faces looking around. YHC wavered for a moment, then decided to ignore them.
Hops, Strawberry, and Frazier were destroying all the sprints. A strong morning for everyone. Some modifications occurred, but everyone hung in there and finished each set.
The last set of durkins going at a snails pace was a killer!
Thanks for the opportunity to lead. Very much enjoyed it.
Announcements: look for a 3rd F gathering at Einsteins on Tuesdays (after Bagpipe/Swift) starting at the end of April.

Diabolical Haggis. Diabolical.
From the very outset – the pax was hurtin’
This: “Merkin chain as follows: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. Hold plank in between”
Very simple to type…brutal in reality.
T-claps on a great Q….glad I posted…sort of.
Love the 6-count burpees #noflyingsquirrels
T-claps to Heartbreaker & Big Tuna who were flying on the final sets of sprints/merkins.
The Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna, one of the largest fish in the world, is torpedo shaped for swift movement through the water. They swim at 7.5 km/hour (4.66 miles/hr), but when they are chasing food, they can reach speeds of 100 km/hr (62.137 miles/hr)! Apparently Big Tuna was ready for breakfast! #smokeboots
