YHC rolled up on Centurion this balmy morning to find escargot waiting patiently to post. He regaled paper jam and I of his attempt last week to post and then pj and I took off for a Centurion mile warmup. Paper Jam is turning into a runner. Love it
We returned to find the pax eagerly awaiting their instructions. One site FNG and a short disclaimer later we commence.
Something #unsavory 10 mins of 10 burpees every minute.
6 rounds and loads of gnashing of teeth and groaning we cut it short and mosey around football field out to Walsh up to Little for The Thang.

In-Office Moleskin:
Strong group of Pax out there this morning. Kotters to Escargot. He’s had his trials with injuries. Damn glad to see you out in the gloom again. Last week your absence made itself know when you told PJ and I you set your alarm and headed to Centurion at 5:50. LIFO award if you hadn’t turned around to go home. Great work out there brother. I know this was a shocker to come back to, but we’ve come to expect nothing less from Centurion WODS. Spitz, aka Scarface, aka Pretty Woman is today’s unofficial BA. We had to help him with his Hand release merkin form, but after he was flying. Swiper lost his arms on Part 1, much like everyone else did after 60 burpees. Glad no one bashed their face under the failing appendages. Speaking of failing appendages, 7 Respects out there today. A comment made, “This AO has the best [strongest], group of Respects around” I can attest to that as Marconi was spanking us all on the Tartarus Burpee Challenge. Thanks to all the PAX for entertaining my twisted mind. It is always a pleasure to lead you. Next time we’ll do the actual workout which consisted of 100/200/200/100 (burpees/merkins/squats/burpees) #gauntlet #eqaulizer #repshurt #thetaperisnotarealthing #stupidisasstupiddoes
Swiper took us out strong. Thanks brother

The “fund raising” is to help Tolkien with Speed for Need. Bring your spare change, drink water instead of coffee one morning, or whatever to save a few dollars. 20 X $5 X 50 weeks would be $5,000. Bring your lunch to work one day a week and that saves roughly $10.
Snooka was the real deal. Out front in the sprints even though he is war daddy (or 2nd in age behind Snow Flake) and I’m not sure if even Spitz caught him.
I thought the pax formerly known as Spitz was renaming himself during COT. So afterwards, I said “what’s up? Scarface?” To which the pax now known as Pretty Woman replied: “After hearing the name Pulp Fiction, I thought all the guys were just throwing out their favorite movie names.” #greathumor So after my suggestion of renaming, the remaining pax of Swiper, Udder, Chelms and a few others came up with Pretty Woman. T-claps to Chelms for coming up with that one. PW posted for some 3rd F, too!
Was good to run and struggle through the H-R merkin segment with Prohibition. We both decided we would punch Udder in the pie hole if he called any more merkins…..he did….during the Tartarus burpee challenge. Yes Chelms (and others who know who they are) – a burpee does, in fact, involve a merkin.
I’m not kidding at all when I say I hope I can still post when I’m at Respect age….but these guys are getting after it. T-claps. Thanks for your example men.
Watch out for The Wall. He’s only a couple weeks into F3, getting stronger and quite resourceful. #betchacantfindmykeys
T-claps also to Bout Time, Hannibal, others? for running in.
And Udder – Brillo is spelled Brilleaux. He’s French Iowan.
Passez un bon weekend mes amis.
