Per the Madame’s Request
The Brave is and should be known as a tough workout. Madame T reached out to make sure YHC was good for today and requested a high degree of difficulty. Reached into the grey matter into the “Sucked really bad” file, and, what do you know, Alf’s Day Zero Q popped up in my search. Gathered all my “gear” on hand at the casa: 2 40lb cinder blocks, 2 25lb dumbells, a 35lb KB, and a 40lb KB. Unloaded them, counted off as 1 and 2s, disclaimed crew, and off we went.

Strong SOB crew today. Good energy and encouragement of teammates during token carries, which, obviously, YHC shamelessly stole from Alf. Thank you sir. Haggis, Frasier, Bean, FH, Pebbles, Jrr, Cable Guy, Ringer pushing on the pace. Whole crew just crushed this one. Strong work men. Utah was killing it today. Flew by me with a token and on the last sprint. Getting stronger and faster. Keep pushing. Pebbles toted an extra 13lb in the weight vest. Cane, MT, Champagne, Frehleys, Outback, Wingman, Mighty Mite all pushing hard for 60. Great to lead this strong group. Thank you for the opportunity.

There are lots of reasons to love brother Mermaid, but the #1 reason is his Q never disappoints.
Great great great Q this morning Mermaid. That was tough. From the long distance run to an up temp COP, to the team gear carry, to the mile of pain, to the unexpected call for the PAX to run to the top of the parking deck. This workout hurt in a good way. Writing this post at 11:30am and I’ve already caught myself falling asleep in 2 meetings this morning.
Had Google Earth and my legal pad both in high gear last night. A lot of scratching off and making small changes to this one. M finally told me I needed to be done. Quick visualization through the total route and onto the Blacklist. It was a good one. That Reddington is pretty smart.
Thanks for the positive feedback men. I really enjoyed that one as well. Very fast crew from front to back allowed us to get 4.88, per the Garmin, with plenty of strength work and some abs/core.
FH, the garage is like a magnet. Perfect place to keep the pax in same general location and offer enough opportunity to open it up. No way we were missing that today. Unbelievable recovery on your tumble during the first mosey. Like you practice that.
