Thunderstruck

Thunderstruck

As YHC sat down last night to put together a comprehensive weinke for the morning beatdown, AC/DC’s Thunderstruck was playing in the background.  Then Def Leppard;  38 Special;  you get the idea.  it’s amazing the impact music can have on your mood and psyche, sometimes making you feel almost invincible.  11 pax (including two 2.0’s) posted to see what that felt like.

So, yeah, the weinke is tougher by the light of…gloom.  A few audibles were called for the sake of time, yeah that’s it (and to prevent smokeage of all).

Great work by all today.  Lot of strong work, both individually and as partners.

As YHC and Low Tide rolled in for preKB, Slim Fast’s car was already there.  About 2/3 of the way through the KB routine (solo, as Low Tide played on his phone in the car…shame), Slim Fast & Sensei came running around the corner – something about 3+ miles and a 7:48 (?) pace.  Strong start, gentlemen!

Everyone seemed to enjoy the animal walks.  Well, at least the non-mobility challenged, light weight 2.0’s.

Outta time and random thoughts, so add in your observations in the mumblechatter below.

Aye.
