Encinoman voluntold yours truly the night before to take the Terrapin Saturday Q. I don’t think I’ve ever posted at a Saturday workout, much less Q’d one, so I had to oblige. I dipped into the Hero WOD resources for a little inspiration:

Announcements– Sign up for IronPAX. I think there might have been a post or two on Twitter about it. Preseason workout to be posted soon. Will probably suck.

Prayer requests– Fatback’s father’s recovery, all the chirrun headed back to school (this doubles as a praise report for many, too)

NNM

-Tough work met by equally tough studs this morning. Five minutes of continuous work doesn’t sound bad but it adds up. Especially when you’re sucking wind. After the second FGB, it felt like we had been working out for an hour and a half.

-The Lander women’s CC team ran by at one point, so we were all suddenly cognizant of our form. Amazing how everyone’s chest expanded and gut shrunk instantly. We almost lost Cruiser to the back of the line.

-Good to meet Cruiser, by the way.

-I remembered after the first round of exercises that we were supposed to be keeping count of our reps. If I had to take an educated guess, we all cleared 900 easy.

-I saw Uncle Jesse on the way out. He looked like he was running from something that wanted to do him great harm.

-As always, I’m proud to be a part of an outstanding group of gentlemen that pretend to enjoy such ridiculous activities at such ungodly times of the morning.

Respectfully yours,

Inspector
