Stop, Knock Down and Roll Around

25 tough dudes including five 2.0s leapt from their beds and came to Stonehenge for a daily downPAINment.  It was muggy and we had pax literally falling down all over each other but it was a solid workout with a great effort by everyone.  YHC was there and ready with Weinke in hand.  However, just like a cheat sheet permitted for an 8th grade science test, all the knowledge contained was burned into YHC’s brain while making the Weinke, rendering it unnecessary.  #decorativepurposesonly  Anyway, so the story goes…

Moleskin:
– Wow, what a great effort by all the pax, especially the 2.0s. This was a beast of a workout and we literally never stopped. I never heard a single complaint (O2 deprivation?)
– Werlcome to FNG GM. This is Commich’s 2.0 and he did a great job. Hope you come back with Dad again soon.
– Lots of Merkins. Plenty of opportunities for lots of Merkins today. 110 in the Serpentine, 90 in the Stairway to Hell plus 20 handslaps and 15 in COP puts you at 235 without counting Merkins done on the Premier Deck run or bonus merkins. Madam Tusseau did about 425!
– Watch Your Step. On the run around Premier Deck, Lugie and Bivo both hit the pavement hard. Both continued on through the workout without missing a beat despite a swollen ankle for Lugie. Bivo was heard yelling “Boomer Sooner”. #beastmode
– Serpentine Merkin ladder could also be called the Slalom of Suck. It was very tough and all the pax did a great job. YHC was completely smoked.
– Great to see so many pax getting stronger each and every week.

Announcements:
– Ghost Runner going strong on Thursdays at 1930. Launches from ABC Arboretum with route options from 4 to 6 miles. 2ndF opportunity post run at Vintners @ 2030.
