A never ending Circle of Pain

A never ending Circle of Pain

9 men braved the thick, steamy morning heat for a beatdown that left everyone wanting to get out of the circle in the middle of the field.  It went something like this:

WE DONE!

Moleskin:

Not much of a breeze this am on that field this morning.  It was some thick air and the sweat was pouring.  So bad that my phone stopped letting me touch it.  The Tabata timer had to get switched from phone countdown app to the ol’ traditional stopwatch on my wrist since I was so sweaty I couldn’t swipe anything on the phone.

We spent a lot of time in the center of the field.  Next time, I’ll explore the campus a little better.  I was planning for some stair work, but the extended COP + Tabata which was cut short (I left off the burpees – you’re welcome) took up more than enough time…and energy.

Thanks to everyone welcoming me as their Q this morning.  I’m sorry I don’t make it out to The Charge often enough.  I will do my best to make it a more regular workout.  The AO is fantastic! Baracus, keep putting me on the schedule.

Shout out Brutus for being a Site FNG.  If it wasn’t Brutus, then I apologize and let me know who it was in the comments.  Shout out to Tesla for the take out.
