SOFAWIB: The Modified Kirk (Take II)

SOFAWIB: The Modified Kirk (Take II)

8 of the best in the Nation converged at SOFAWIB to grow closer to their most improved selves.

The Thing: The Modified Kirk.
It’s deja vu all over again, y’all.
Run the mile from Old E to HT and back. Head on over to the Buddy Bench Playground.
– 7 pull-ups
– 14 burpees
– 21 merkins
– 28 squats
– 35 flutters
– Run to the football field, AYG suicides at 50 yd and 100yds.
– Run back to the playground, resume kirking.
That’s one round.

Naked Man Moleskin: Let’s Talk Statistics and Politics
There are lies, damn lies and statistics. “We’ve seen an 800% increase in attendence!” is the kind of thing someone in marketing or politics would say. And while that sounds impressive, the number that’s its based on is just as significant.
What I’m trying to say is that I know longer feel like the cause for being solo last week.
Even if it’s pity attendance, I’ll take it and claim correlation and not causation. Which is also the kind of statistical nonsense you see on CNN or FoxNews to substantiate someone’s completely false claim. So the real takeaway here is that all politicians and pundits are bullshit artists and political consultants should be shot off the planet in a rocket aimed at the sun.
Happy Big Tuesday everyone.

Where was I? Right, the workout.
Welcome to our FNG Shingles, aka Stuart Wilson. He works for a roofing company, thus the name. He has a 3, 2, and 5 month old at home and must have been practically begging Seersucker to EH him for a workout. He didn’t throw up or get dropped on his first workout, so he’s ahead of the curve compared to some (ahem).
Rachel upholds the F3 tradition of naming our fastest after women. Kirk initially served as his north star for the route and was summarily shake-n-baked as Rachel dropped into 12th gear. He seems nice. I hate his guts.
One Eye chose a performance skully over the usual headband. I didn’t recognize him. I think it slowed him down, but it’s hard to tell as he’s lapping you for the third time.
Despite being a cyborg with superhuman speed and strength (“Sprength?”), I could actually see Iron Mike in the distance as we finished the closing HT mile. Obviously this means I’m getting super fast and am hearby renaming myself “Rundancer” (one word, damnit).
Snowflake is a great human being, and posting with him always makes me feel better. Grateful to you for coming out, brother.
