Burpees (with Beards)

August 31, 2018

WHEN: 08/31/2018
QIC: Griswold & Chum
PAX: Griswold, Chum, Stinky Pete, Nescafe, Green Acres, Zook, Wreckless, Flenderson, Hal

The Rambler lit up the Bat Signal that he needed a sub Q, as he was undergoing a…wait for it….sleep study Thursday evening.  All of us were fairly suspicious, as we’re all pretty confident that The Rambler (just like Chuck Norris) doesn’t actually sleep – he waits.

 

So YHCs volunteered, and nine men showed up to see if we would deliver.

 

Green Acres put out the call for some EC rucking, and Griswold, Flenderson, and Wreckless obliged.

As the clock approached 0530, Griswold stepped forward and got us going.

Moleskin

  • Judging from how he rolled into the parking lot, Nescafe may or may not have been a professional race car driver in a former life.
  • Griswold likes SSH.  We all blame Coco.
  • Zook proclaimed a visit to Glue Factory.  Success!
