Moleskin:
When I started the workout this morning, I made it very clear that I “borrowed” this Q from my great buddy Tiger Rag. He beat us with this mess the Monday before the F3 Olympics in June of 2014. The suck has such an impact on me that day that the memory is forever bashed into the place where awful experiences live inside my mind.

I did make a few adjustments to TR’s original weinke to make the workout my own. I replaced 2 plates (he used 8) with 2 tractor tires for flipping. I also switched up a few of the KB exercises and I cut out the Mary at the end.

At the end of 45 minutes, my garmin said we had completed .91 miles of hairburners and tire flips. The pain was real as alteast 1 PAX (not to be named) spilled Merlot in between hairburners. If you completed the challenge without modification, you should have done 12 sets of hairburners at 35 yards down and 35 yards back and 4 sets of 14 150lb tractor tire flips.

Please add any additional thoughts or comments below.

It was an honor to lead the men in the Gloom this morning.
