Pardon me, I wonder if you can tell me how to get back on the expressway?

Pax: Gummy (Q), Smash, Hannibal, Thunder Road, Marvel, Sardine, Snowflake, Clover, Blades of Glory, Fireman Ed, Snuka, Mr. Magoo

I covered for Pro who is bad at planning and had to cancel. I guess he booked the flight on Sunday and didn’t have any advance warning that he’d miss his upcoming Q. Anyway, it was good to get a little pre-game witty banter with Semi Gloss and the DMZ crowd. We even heard from Kirk (on Twitter, not at a workout- don’t be silly), who I thought had moved out-of-state.

Speaking of moving, we recently moved a couple of miles north on Providence to Lansdowne, and I haven’t made a good adjustment to my departure times. I rolled in at 5:29:55, jumped out of the car and yelled for the guys to follow me. Jello and Hopper went for a walk around Raintree instead.

We did some stuff. 100 AYG, 200 AYG, 400 AYG with some rest in between. We scattered a descending burpee ladder throughout the workout – sneaky way to get in a fair amount of burpees. There were jump ups, some Mary, and classic time-killing sprints at the end.

Other notes:
– BOG failed to wear his Olympic medal again.
– I felt really good when Snuka said, “isn’t this supposed to be moderate?”. Success. That dude is fast.
– Because I got there late, I didn’t see who was there, then we immediately went down to the really dark track. So I didn’t know who was there until about halfway through? Is that Fireman Ed?
– If you haven’t done BRR yet, do it. You can handle it. It’s the best way to get to know guys beyond the 45 minutes of heavy breathing at a workout.

I’m fairly certain you’re going to get written up by Chelms for this backblast:
1) No AO tag – Base Camp
2) No pax list tags
3) No real description of the workout

I know BC is a moderate workout, but your pax list is far from moderate. I’m glad you made them do burpees.
