What happens when you ask your M, “How might you torture a bunch of men on a Thursday morning?” Well, she says something like, “Hmmm…how about make them do 100 burpees?” To honor my wife and ensure that PAX experienced the workout of “the century,” that became the day’s mission.
But first 4 PAX (Tatertot, Porterhouse, Toolbox, YHC) arrived at 5 with ruck on back for some EC. The fierce foursome marched two miles through the dark streets of Durham to Basan Sushi, then circled around to ReCity where 9 more PAX awaited the ME.

Mark your calendars for April 14: Bull City convergence event. Details soon.
Reflection: Sometimes the QIC is surprised by the difficulty of the workout he designed…and that’s when brothers step up and ensure that the original plan is seen through to completion, even if it means a little short term pain. Iron sharpens iron once again.
