Day Zero Challenge: BRR Edition

Day Zero Challenge: BRR Edition

A true blue, wrecking crew of 8 posted this morning at Saturday’s toughest workout in Area 51. Today was the day most have circled on their outlook calendars: The Day Zero Challenge (v. 3.0) – BRR Edition.

With a preblast out last night, mere minutes after @DearAbby tweeted out an invitation for a pre-run, the pax read what was in store today. High reps of exercises, and mileage.

The Thang-a-Rang:
100 burpees
1 mile run (3 laps around the track)
100 squats
1 mile run
100 merkins
1 mile run
200 LBCs
1 mile run
100 CDD’s
1 mile run
100 burpees

Ye Olde Moleskinny:
YHC was in recovery mode this morning. Detoxifying from vacation this week. The big board of the DZC dished out the pain today.

Without question, the obvious highlight of the morning occurred minutes before launch. Out of nowhere, a groggy looking guy rolls out from under playground slide. Seeing a few guys loosening up, he asks “You see a couple guys around here this morning? Had an epic night with my boys last night and they left me here to sleep on the playground.” One can only deduce the epic night in Touchstone had this guy on the karaoke mic at the Yellow Rose. We asked him to join. He declined. In response to encouragement that a little sweat would cure his hangover, he declared he “wasn’t hungover and that he had to get back to his boys. They’re going to get it tonight. It’s going to be epic.” With that, he strolled off into the sunrise. Can’t make this stuff up.

@DeepDish had a late night at Ortho Carolina and still made it out. Wishing a speedy recovery you guys’ way, brother.

@Teddy crushed the pace today. Probably heated at @Frasier’s bear poke on the preblast comments last night.

@TheSwede still carrying the baby phone was on call at a moments notice. No calls received. He was crushing it today.

@RedRocks made the right call this morning. A couple minutes late to the prerun, he gained ground on @DearAbby and YHC for the last mile- and potentially earned himself a BRR spot. Dude was putting in work this morning.

@Smash was a grinder this morning. Solid work out there today.

@DearAbby was strong after the prerun and looking ready for the BRR.

@Pro had the boombox in tow. Also gained some serious speed with the marathon training. Nice taper week this week with only 13 miles on deck tomorrow.

Most guys got through the CDDs. @Teddy may have hit round 2 of the burpees.

Thanks to @Pro for taking us out this morning.

Announcements:
BRR less than a month away. Get some.
