YHC came to know of the Devil’s Mile via Uzi, who is on the IR, but whose presence would be felt in this workout.  YHC makes no apology for reprinting here the opening lines of “Uzisses”:

It little profits that an idle king

At Caribou, among these barren crags, I mete and dole

SEAL burpees untold to a savage race, 

That post, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.

Lyrics aside, time for some work.  Animal House presents a unique challenge and opportunity as a 60min AO.  YHC had been anxious and excited in equal measure about even completing the intended workout.

Food Lion got in some recovery merkins (?) while he waited for the rest of us to finish.  Beastly.

Carry your block back to the pile.  Method of transport is of minor importance.

YHC is grateful to Uzi for his leadership style and positive example–a unique combination of esprit de corps, generosity, and unrelenting physical drive.  Additionally, YHC is grateful to Catskill and Bump Draft for the examples they set and the mentorship they have provided.  Our thoughts go out to Dogwood’s three-year-old, and we all took a few moments of silent gratitude for the blessings that each of us is lucky to have been granted.  AYE
