Kotter’s Birthday

Kotter’s Birthday

The pax assembled and 23 men set out for a humpday downpainment at Area51’s 2nd oldest AO after a brief, inaudible disclaimer was drowned out by the typical DV mumblechatter.

Jog back to launch lot for COT

Ye Olde Moleskine:

Awesome to see Stagecoach back in the gloom among the pax.  Offered him the Q before we launched, but he deferred….what a gracious Site Q.  Cobain for the shoulder work.  42 years young today; and of course, he waited until afterwards to inform the pax.  #savvyveteran  Pretty sure I heard Stagecoach say something to the effect of “When did DV become an hour long workout?” #kotters

T-claps to the pre-KB’ers and pre-runners this morning.  Is that why Header, Bulldog & Busch were not out front on the AYG runs?  In truth, Bulldog was way out in front of YHC as the Q partnered with he and Cottonmouth.  Cottonmouth was better than 1/2 way across the field every segment by the time I was finishing my work on the other side.  Header & Busch were probably more focused on the 2nd F than the 1st F…not that there’s anything wrong with that?  Busch was, after all, entertaining an out-of-town guest — welcome back to Mint Julep from Louisville.  When are you going to launch F3 Louisville?!

Good to see Fireman Ed who discovered Twitter yesterday.  Welcome to the information superhighway brother.  Glad you found the on ramp.

Pleasant surprise to see Radar posting this morning.  You deserved the Kotters.  He only made a couple disparaging remarks towards YHC this morning…way below his average.  Keep posting.  It will come back to you.

Gummy kept calling for AYG calf raises…something about Day Zero’s wheelhouse.

The pax were pushing pretty hard except for the usual refuseniking.  You know who you are.

T-claps to Hoser, in town from the Dash, who pushed through an Achilles injury.  MallCop also pushing through an IT band injury….on most of the exercises anyway.

For all of you merkin challengers – we did some merkins.  Random counts which gives you spreadsheeters a panic attack.   If your form was good on the 6-count burpees & double-merkin burpees – book those on your spreadsheet.  But let’s be honest – if you’re doing 333+ merkins/day – your form is atrocious for most of them….unless your name is Lobster Roll.

‘Tis always an honor to Q and be among this great group of men.  Glad you called for and enjoyed YHC’s staples of plankorama & CCVs.  No SSH’s!  Join the boycott.  You’re welcome IH.
