Skins
Lots of people. Some showed up with rucks, some with kettle bells, but no one showed up with ankle weights like requested in the pre-blast. Some highlights:

Lots of calls for Bushwood’s form:
-Only went down 50% for squats?-Check
-After 20 merkins, it became more of a head bob?-Check
-A little bit of a hip thruster on the dips?-Check

Alf talks faster than he runs.

Monkey Humpers in cadence is weird and a little dirty.

McGee was not pleased with the burpees. But he loves burpees??

Maybe the highlight was Kirk’s 2.0, Mud Puddle, yelling “Go Dad!!” when Kirk and McGee were racing on the final AYG. He won too. Mud Puddle believed in his dad when no one else did.

It was great to see Ninja Turtle, aka Eskimo, at COT. He heads back up to hit the App Trail on Wednesday. Keep him in your prayers.

Everyone was working hard out there and hope the pax enjoyed it as much as Poptart, Voodoo, and myself.

Good luck to all the pax running the BRR. Stay safe and have fun!

Skywalker with the takeout.
