COT
YE OLDE NAKED MOLESKINE
A light yet strong crowd out at Skunkworks this morning. YHC was not sure if I could even Q due to a limp wrist obtained at last weeks smokefest from Busch. Having donned the Haggis style MMA gloves it was time to get to work with all merkins done on the fists. During the COP it was very obvious that there is a large difference between the Queens English and the American version:
Q: “Next exercise is…..the lornmowa”
Pax: “The what?”
Q: “The lornmowa.”
Pax:….crickets
Q: “This!” (showing the demo)
Pax: “Ohhh the larrrnmowerrrrr”
Q: “That’s it chaps. Let’s get to it.”
After the extended warm up (and seeing Harley grimace on the overhead presses) it was time for a lung buster combo. Opening round of 50 swings and 50 burpees looked great on paper and easy to complete in 5 minutes but was I wrong? After two or three cones it turned into a stagger between sets as the clocked ticked down. Hats off to most of the lads for getting it in and to Chanel for bouncing back from injury and crushing it along with Freedom and his gorilla bell. Fireman Ed was either counting by twos or he has just turned into a KB machine as he was leading from the front.
Good stuff from Witch Doctor and Blazing Saddles who are on a roll now after several weeks of consistent posting.
Thanks for allowing me to lead.
