A Pothole workout + a full hour on Saturday = negative mumble chatter.
20 Pax, including 1 FNG, rolled into the gloom at Depot on a warm Saturday morning for an hour worth of pain and misery at the hand of Pothole. YHC delivered a mumble chatter killer…complete with a #crowdpleaser – the Hodor.
Conditions: warm and humid

Prayer
Mosey to brickpile and grab a cinder block. Get real comfy with your cinder block because you won’t let it go until after the workout.
Complete “The Hodor”
Hodor is this really creepy simpleton on Game of Thrones whose only job is to carry around this crippled little prince named Bran. Oh, and all he says is his name: Hodor. So…lift Bran…put him on his back…put him down…pick him up…run with him…etc, etc…you get the point. That’s his life.
With your cinder block held out in front of you, squat until the block touches the ground, stand, tricep extension the block over your head to your back, squat, stand, bring the block back in front of you. That’s one.
Do this X 30
Run, with your block, 1 lap around the track.
