It was fifty years ago tomorrow, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. Hard to believe that Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band was released 50 years ago tomorrow – on June 1, 1967. What better way to celebrate than with 12 friends at the workout that just won’t die located somewhere between Metro and Area 51…The Charge.
Mosey from parking lot to near end zone.

Fancy digs at The Charge were made even fancier with the presence of none other than Mr. Fancy, @CrotchRocket, for his first post ever to The Charge. Guess we’ve lost our rogue status forever now.
@Raider stepped out of his radius and his comfort zone by traveling more than 2 miles for a workout this morning. Even drove right by Atlas and Prometheus to join us. He was very disappointed that the track at The Charge isn’t really heated. He also didn’t like the music and kept prattling on about The Clash. At least YHC cut out the partner work including partner carries that were on the original plan.
@GAAP tried to hijack the Q sometime after the sevens. @Nibbler wouldn’t let him have it.
@Wuerffel was cranky and very disappointed in the name we came up with for our FNG. He didn’t think @OldBay was creative enough but we didn’t hear him suggest anything better.
@Nibbler kept calling for 10 counts which YHC takes as a good sign that the workout was sufficient.
@Pigskin counted in several different languages. @Tesla made inappropriate comments in at least two different languages.
@Monk, @Chowda and @Wuerffel appeared out of nowhere sometime during the 50 SSH. #FashionablyLate
The non F3 guys on the track passed us all during the Burpee Mile like we were standing still. And then proceeded to go on a long run as we were in COT.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Q school on June 17. See @RevFloRida.
Expansion is wrapping up for the Spring but there are plenty of ways to get involved in the Fall. See YHC.
HDHH tonight at Providence Road Sundries. 6pm regular launch. 530pm Extra Credit.
We have enjoyed The Charge almost even more now that it has achieved “Rogue” status. Rumors of its demise were premature. One of the best AOs in all of Metro and it is good to see that it is alive and well even after previous attempts to euthanize it have been well advertised.
Considering the concept that this workout had been put out of its misery, YHC thought we could celebrate its staying power by collectively surviving the Kevorkian at today’s edition.

Dynamic warmup through the upper parking lot loop with Buttkickers, High Knees, Apollo Creed Left and Apollo Creed Right and a lot of moseying. Mosey to the 50 yard line for:

Great to see this AO survive all attempts to euthanize it. It’s way too good of an AO to let it die.
2.04 miles and a whole lot of “floppin”.
Tclaps to @Phoenix for realizing by the time we got to 6am that the playlist had a death theme.
Tclaps to @Rev for being my partner. But whatever he posted on Twitter about YHC’s EH of him to this workout was pure fabrication. #TruthNugget #TeslaReallyIsMean
Great to be with @Monk and @Bullwinkle for the first time in a long time.
YHC is glad that he now knows how to spell @Boerewors without having to google “South African Sausage”. Tclaps @Wuerffel. #NSFW.
#FUPigskin. @Rev says that @Pigskin has a Pavlovian response to that so figured I’d try it.
@Chowda is a bada$$ and had to put up with @Wuerffel’s bad attitude all morning. #Cobains.
Who needs a Site Q anyway?
