For those not on the Twitterverse, we hosted a fundraiser for the F3 golf tourney to support F3 expansion in new cities. The offer was that I would match any fund for our hole sponsorship. Group will do 100 burpees less any money raised. We quickly raised $104, so no burpees today…and we raised $208 for the tourney. Well done. Clearly, there was not a big appetite for burpees. I collected $34 this am. Bring me the other $70 next week. Open on more donations as well.
Totally smoked. Nothing fancy, just sprints and lifting. Well done by guys going hard this am. It was an honor to lead and try to keep up with the group. Good to see some new faces to Skunkworks with Gold Member, White Snake and Liberace. Transformation of Horsehead appears complete, dude is a lean machine. If you have not moved up in KB size recently, time to step up. We will make announcements in near future on change in site for Skunkworks due to school/church construction. Fletch is on tap next week.

I was moving double time because:
A) I only had a 35b bell. Haven’t picked one up in a couple of months so went conservative.
B) I had to go #2 for the whole workout
C) I was getting smoked by Chum on the reps and saw that he had a kettlebell the size of a small planet. *
* it was later discovered that the Chum planet-bell is hollow, made of plastic, and filled with approximately 10 lbs of concrete. It could be cement, possibly, but TR told me that there was no difference. Anyway, it has been renamed the Pluto-bell and planet status has been revoked, along with Chum’s man card.
j/k Chum – we love the plastic bell . . . really. Where did you get that thing?
