Four tough turtles elected to get a jump start on Monday by posting at Terrapin for a dose of the Filthy 50 on steroids. Strawberry HC’d early to join YHC at the #TurtleHead. It was touch-and-go and looked headed toward a two-man BoM Sunday evening until Blu HC’d. Pusher rolled in right on time and off we went to retrieve two of the remaining four coupons left in the woods. YHC and Strawberry busted out kettle bells, which proved beneficial down the line.
Conditions were a little chilly. Somewhere “in the 40s,” which meant beanie hats, long sleeve shirts for some and for others, well, they were tough turtles from the get-go!

It is always a pleasure having my good friend Strawberry down from Charlotte. He allegedly enjoys the break from all the concrete and steel of the big city. We always enjoy his company. Plus, he’s a 311 fan. #BonusPoints
YHC is a 41-year-old man in pretty decent shape. Yet every workout the goal is to try to keep up with the 58-year-old All-American BabyBlu. YHC noted he hopes to be in as good of shape at 42 as Blu is at 58. “You’ve still got time to get there,” Strawberry quipped. “Don’t give up before the miracle happens.” Aye.
YHC and Pusher were both rocking long sleeved shirts. Pusher added a beanie to his wardrobe. It was “in the 40s,” after all. Blu and Strawberry were touching it out in t shirts. Pusher lost the beanie somewhere between burpees 1 and 2. YHC ditched the long sleeve shirt somewhere between burpees 4 and 5.
Always a pleasure to share the gloom with you men. I am more humbled every day by your dedication to making the men around you — YHC included — better by showing up and showing out on a consistent basis.
Aye!
