Conditions: Starry morning. Cool. Slight breeze.
YHC was traveling yesterday and knew myself well. If were not on Q, YHC probably wouldn’t have made it out of the fartsack. Slightly lower numbers, probably due to the tweet insinuating just a walk in the park today. Roost pax only like to come out for a huge beatdown. YHC will be more forthright in tweets regarding the workout intensity. YHC rolled up with 1 min to go to find 3 pax ready to go. After exchanging of pleasantries we jogged off into the early morning gloom to see what awaited us.

- Super Trooper and Updyke had never done hairburners. YHC thinks one loved it and the other…well not so much
- YHC always loves the reaction when pax are surprised by hairburners. Moneypenny’s reaction was priceless.
- Round 3 of the hairburners YHC decided to create a little incentive. Winner gets back plank…losers get 10 burpees (hardest 10 burpees ever by the way)
- During the pre hairburner race planning…moneypenny and YHC trying to decide who should push first. Moneypenny asks YHC…”do you want to win…” I am sure it was rhetorical because 1. YHC hates burpees and 2. YHC hates losing. Moneypenny felt he was a liability to our team and encouraged YHC to push first.
- All that to say the strategy session did not work…YHC gave it his all and nearly spilled merlot…YHC pushed that plate with everything YHC had…guess we didn’t have enough
- Meanwhile all this time Updyke is pushing the plate by himself the entire way on each lap. BEAST!
- Other than the hairburners…YHC made the rest up on the fly based on the pax we had there…thus the backblast may not be 100% accurate on the counts and order of called exercises.
