18 PAX (including 8 Ozzies) emerged from the #Fartsack this morning in search of a way to #GetBetter. Lingering in the parking lot was YHC, who was quite excited about the occasion to Q at my home AO, the home of #TankTopThursday, Burpees and unbridled #MumbleChatter. Once the proverbial whistle blew at 6:30 AM, the PAX got better as all embarked upon 45 minutes of suck that was designed to keep the PAX moving and help all #GetBetter with the sharpening of some iron.
Conditions – 73 degrees and thick (perfect burpee weather)

Moleskin:
- Honored to have Q at #Thunder this AM. The Broad Jump Burpee Circuit was a #Crowdpleaser based on the groans herd from the PAX.
- Major props to the Ozzies in attendance as the Crazy Train reached Day 4.
- #LarryBirds were not in short supply this morning as Huffy, Adrian, Chyna and McNugget, among others, did their thing.
- Couple of observations: (1) Sprints are the great equalizer of any Q and (2) the Tunnel of Love should go the way of the dinosuars.
- YHC constantly thankful for the PAX of #Thunder and all they have done for me over the past several years. #Thunder is a special place, where #HIMs abound, and it is critical that we do not take for granted what has been built by the collective effort of so many.
Aye!
