Find the breeze
Date: 2024-07-16 AO: bagpipe Q: kirby PAX: Abba, Hawkeye, Eleanor FNGs: None COUNT: 4 We went in search of a breeze on this muggy morning. Thinking of cool mountain breeze YHC took us up hill the long way to the top of the parking deck. Evidently there was none up that high😪. So we kept moving and only found sweet breeze at the launch. WARMUP: 10 merkins 10 squats 10 mountain climbers THE THANG: Mosey to basement. 10 merkins hand release then run 1 floor and 10 jump squats. After watching Abba crush it up thr ramps I asked if there were only hills in Thailand. Evidently its flat and he is just a beast. Hawkeye stayed with him and crushed the climb. Eleanor coming back from hip injury still made it look easy. After some reflection and called Mary on the 3 floor we made it back the bottom and did knees over toes on the curb. On wobbly legs we moseyed back to launch with a minute to spare for 20 squats. MARY: Pretzel crunch big boys and v ups ANNOUNCEMENTS: kid rock race, brolympics on July 27 and same day Date night at OMB. COT: Abba took us out in Thai. That was awesome!
