Nice and Slow. Again and Again.
13 PAX braved the cold and showed up to support YHC a week after the passing of the shovel flag from Rameses 5th site-Q, Flapjack (in the illustrious Adolphus to Subprime to My Little Pony to Champ to Flapjack succession). Always faithful, he handed off to the shared leadership of new co-site Q Diaper Genie who joined YHC to steward the Mother Church of Churham in her 11th year. The support of all PAX was appreciated.
Warmorama
A little extra time for warmup as YHC and a couple of PAX posting were fresh off the final day of Cousin Vinny’s Goatathalon the day before and thus appeared hamstring-less (and still out of breath).

Acknowledgment to the inspiration for the workout being Uzi’s past spring split-squad Kenan workout co-led by Champ when Uzi introduced the Tarlavsky WOD (which history tells us Uzi probably invented to honor a fellow 5’7” Jewish war hero, Capt. Michael Yuri Tarlavsky because there is no record of such a WOD except by Uzi assertion) and Adolphus’ always-deliberately paced Qs.

COT
When we find the hard thing, do the hard thing and do not run away. But find some friends who will come with you, not to do it for you, but alongside you. And, a call to remembrance. We die twice. Once when we leave the earth. And again, finally, when our names are spoken for the last time. Spoken and unspoken, a reminder of those who have died. Including, Capt. Michael Yuri Tarlavsky. https://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/mytarlavsky.htm
