44 pax converged at Dreher on Saturday, most knowing Dredd would Q but few knowing what that meant.
The Thang:
I’m not going to begin to try to re-create the workout on paper, and I’m relatively certain Dredd couldn’t either. After the 1-minute warning, where 44 guys were standing and stretching and chatting in the parking lot, Dredd gave no other communication than “The first exercise is…” and we began the #CircleOfPain right then, right there on the asphalt. I use “circle” loosely here — it was more like an amoeba of pain — no defined shape and constantly changing. Then we hit the road, stopped for a few pain stations, went to The Hill for some Jacob’s ladder, came back to the school. We did something resembling Strings of Fire that I think only Dredd understood — total beatdown. Then we went to the wall for some, um, “closeness” that caused significant #mumblechatter. By that time, I was so oxygen deprived I can’t really remember the rest. I think we did some #Mary to end it. Suffice to say, Dredd delivered a good solid beatdown, chattering all the way. We ran, we lunged, we planked, we squatted, we burpeed, we Jacobed, we #SpilledMerlot; it sucked hard and we did it all together. #BandOfBrothers. For once, I’d like to be in the heads of the 3 FNGs. I hope we see them again.

Moleskin:
- Hard Commit for AmFibious 5K by August 17th.

- Happy 33rd TODAY to Dodgeball. Good to see you again.
- Thanks to Dredd, Crotch Rocket, and Sleuth for your visit, and welcome as well to Ice Man from Greenville #SwampRabbit. Come back any time!
Come on you can tell them the part about jumping on my back and me returning the favor… close was right…
We laughed, we cried. You left some stuff out @Sway, but there are a million stories in the Naked City. Of note: my #ProclivityPartner @Detour did NOT shy away when the call went out for Brokeback Mountain Squats . . . although he clearly wanted to.
It’s great to see the #ColumbiaModel at work where the very thing was actually birthed, kind of like getting a BigMac at the very first McDonalds. It gave me the #JimmyShakes. Aye.
Thanks to Dredd, Sleuth, CR and Ice Man for the visit. Well done and hopefully we’ll worth it. I know it was great for us.
