Bait & Switch

February 25, 2019

WHEN: 02/25/2019
QIC: Chum
PAX: RG3, Marky Mark, Brotox, Cabaret, Duplo, GTL, Stubbs, Yanni, Bright Idea, Goat Cheese (Respect!), ICE, Closer, Boyardee, Zook, Petri, Cricket, Paper Jam, Nescafe, Fingers, Nitro (Respect!), Kibbles, Mothman (23 total)

The Rambler and Chum pulled a bait-and-switch Q, and as a result YHC felt the pressure to lead a workout that would make The Rambler proud. I also felt the pressure to not “leggo of my Eggo” as I was still dragging axles from a guys weekend where we tried to act like we did in our 20s.

Gave the 1-minute warning, which of course caused several more cars to pull into the parking lot.  On a related note, I will bet a paycheck that no one can park as fast and as NASCAR-esque as Nescafe.

Sorry for the Q bait-and-switch, but I am very thankful for everyone’s support today.  Go out and conquer your week.  Spring is almost here!

Moleskin

  • Today marked the first time I received some smack talk from Zook.  Not sure if I’m proud or ashamed.
  • I think the men agree that The Rambler owes some burpees.
