Frozen Gophers

17 men posted to the frosted plains of Death Valley on this holiday week. Rumor is that the DV AO is plagued by gophers and so we needed to chase it down. Here is how it happened

Mosey around the lot for latecomers (Floorslapper was later than that allowed for) and down the access path to the baseball fields for COP

Mtn Climbers x20
Merkins x10
Sometime during COP we picked up Floor Slapper and our FNG. FS wasn’t late, he was being hospitable to the newcomer…

Mosey to the top of the stairs for the gopher…
P1 runs the track
P2 runs to the baseball bleachers and does 10 burpees, 40 jump lunges and 20 flutters
Meet at the starting point for 10 hand slap merkins and flapjack
Repeat for ~25 minutes

Regroup and mosey to the grass by the bus lot for mary

COT

Moleskine:
The gopher isn’t the most social of workouts (or maybe YHC isn’t the most social guy out there). So we spent a little extra time today in COT sharing what everyone wants for Christmas. YHC doesn’t remember all the requests but here are some of the highlights:

Smokey – the next Peyton Manning to enroll at UT soon
Semi Gloss – CMS to spring for heated seats in the Semi Gloss shack at DV
Puddin Pop – some colorful workout shirts because he’s putting the blue and gray away in ‘17
Fireman Ed – the freedom to wear tights without shorts to workouts
Retread – front row tickets to the Soap Box derby in his hometown of Akron, OH
Salt Lick – more pull-ups and less running at all workouts
Tiger Rag – Clemson national FB championship and a purple paw print for the hood of the Jeep
Floor Slapper – a watch that keeps time with atomic clock precision so he’s not late to workouts

If you’re still reading it might be good to know that that list above is a complete fabrication by YHC as an attempt to save what is otherwise a lack luster BB.

Always a privilege to lead.
