It was with great pleasure that Columbo accepted the Q from Malfunction Junction today as he had been on an all night 20 mile Ruck. As always when Columbo has the Q the PAX were under Siren Alert (if a siren is heard stop current exercise and perform 10 burpees on your own). Columbo had the Q on a few previous occasions, all under Siren Alert, however his trademark Siren Alert prophesy would not be fulfilled until today when one was heard toward the end of the workout. “That felt like 20 burpees” said Inuit.” There would be no lollygagging and Columbo felt a great sense of accomplishment as the purpose of the Siren Alert is to honor the brave first responders who risk their lives to protect and serve the public and to work toward making our communities a safer place to work and live.
Meanwhile MLB pitcher and catchers are in full swing. Position players will be reporting as well in the days to come. One of the baseball fields was utilized in this morning’s workout.
Weather: clear and 30 degrees ( a heat wave compared to the previous couple of days).
