Who doesn’t love a trip to the beach? When we heard that A1A was taking the lead, there was some discussion that the day’s workout might include:
Rollin’ in my 5.0
With my ragtop down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby, Waving just to say, “Hi!”
Did you stop? No – I just drove by.
Alas, as 21 men gathered around the shovel flag in Irmo for their regular, Saturday morning trip around Seven Oaks Park, we were quickly shown that was not in the cards. The QIC made quite sure it was no day of leisure. A1A was there to bring the pax a Beachfront Beatdown.

- Great job at Q by A1A. With all the work going on around Seven Oaks Park, he still did a great job of mixing things up and keeping the pax guessing. T-claps to you, sir.
- Major Pain is henceforth and forevermore banned from leading during dealer’s choice after his 50 overhead claps in cadence (per the QIC). T-claps to anybody that got them done without a break after that workout.
