13 PAX launched on Tuesday morning from the Vine restaurant at the Ballantyne AO into a unremarkable gloom. There wasn’t much gloom, but it was there and it hurt.

Chatting with Fireman Ed prior to 5:30 and heard he was sore from golf yesterday…yep, I said it, sore from golf. Tried to keep it a little easier on those golf muscles this morning.
Pretty talkative group for the most part this AM. Mostly Gummy. Dude takes instruction like I’m giving it in Mandarin. Or is he just giving me grief? Not sure on that, but what I am sure is it is time to move off of that 30 pounder big boy.
Witch Doctor was pushing it this morning, going with the larger 45lb (I think) with grunts from time to time, strong work.
Harley brought out the hand towel but I don’t think he used it at all…maybe weinke needs to be a bit more sinister next time? I know I could’ve used it.
More observations I’m sure, sound off in comments where possible.
Thanks to Frosty Paws for taking us out.

BRR drivers needed
9 PAX assembled at the DOP for a shellacking. It was simple and yet painful.
The Thang
Run to Randwick (cannon entrance) and back for time (1.4 mi round trip).
Do 1/2 of a Murph (50 pullups/100 merkins/150 squats)
Run back to the cannon and back for time.
Do 2/2 of a Murph.
Mary to wait for those who waited.
Naked Moleskin
A new PR @IronMike as he lost his shirt in 2 minutes and 13 seconds. Wonder if he does that at work?
@TalkBox was disgusted by 2/2 and demanded a pull-up assist, which YHC was happy to provide. Regardless, he finished strong.
@49’er LIFO’d which is completely acceptable. Happy to have you out brother.
CMPD monitored our workout, as usual.
Head lamp works.
YHC’s BRR team needs one driver. Be a part of history. HC.
YHC was honked at (twice) by drivers. Either my popularity has finally taken hold or my all black clothing was offensive to the morning commuters. I vote for the latter.
@Daisy coming in strong with a 25 step commute to the DOP.
@Kirk pulled a @Mutiny and demolished a park bathroom. T-Claps.
Thanks for the privilege to lead the hardest workout in Area 51, on Tuesdays, off Rea Road.
