We Floated

We Floated

8 flat out studs chose to take a chance on whether the burpee train would show and ruin what was a pleasant morning.  They may have lost that bet but they all took 5 seconds off their Mile PR (confirmed).

MOLESKIN:

Bunch of good guys out there today. Smart enough not to attempt the Iron Pax and even smarter to not fall for the ½ mile Pursuit Loop trap.  Burpee Train? Easy.  A few today that I normally don’t work out with, which is always fun. Carb Load and Baio were leading the pack today. Fast and didn’t let that murderous hill at the end slow them down at all.   My goal with Schneider is always to get him to stop talking. If I hear him, I know that I’m not pushing the PAX hard enough.  Tough task but I think I kept him pretty quiet. Posse was showing out today, bringing back Dilbert for his second ever visit (never stopped, despite the look on his face showing otherwise) and a FNG, his son with his long blond hair, once mistaken for a girl, all American athlete, and of course a lifeguard, now known as Baywatch.    Rockwell and Chatterbox, who both keep it pretty quiet during the workouts, were working extra hard as always.

PAX were unhappy with only 2.5, wanted to run more.  Sorry I’ll do better next time. Until then…
