The Miseducation of Dueling Banjos

PAX: Chum, Catskill, Rebar

During this workout, YHC revealed that math might not be his best skill. In other news, the Jag never disappoints for the quality of fellowship, workout, and ability to do things you can’t do as easily at other AOs – like incorporate coupons effectively into a routine. While the Murph crew murphed (respect!), a good beatdown was needed for the rest of us. On a perfect Spring day, 4 pax emerged in the gloom and got some work in (and a mini-Murph too).
