10 pax enjoyed a cool October morning for a little celebration at the Epicenter. YHC started a tradition a couple of years back on my birthday with each exercise having the number of reps corresponding to the new age. This was the first time bringing the party to the Epicenter. It looked good on paper…..um well maybe it didn’t. This was all in my mind because it featured many of my favorite exercises and locations at the mothership. Despite the AOQ thinking we were going to be at Heartbreak Hill all morning this was a true Tour de Epicenter. Let’s do this!

Good crowd this morning at the Epicenter. The work and effort level was outstanding.  YHC made an audible to keep the group together as we made our way around the Epicenter. Our fearless leader is toughing it out and crushing workouts despite a partially torn meniscus. That being said we don’t leave anyone behind and turning the tour into a race just did not seem appropriate. Besides that, I forgot the scooter I was going to let him motor around on between the stations! Either way props to Polly for continuing to post. #tclaps

Weaver strolled up to COP ready for the impending snow storm but quickly warmed up and concern turned to how much he would take off.

Encino Man struck fear in Kudzu about massive amounts of running (YHC’s last boot camp had about 2+miles). Kudzu was tempted to run…..back to the car, but chose the harder thing.

Polly’s pavilion went dark during the box jump burpees. Not an ideal time for this to happen. Took the eyes a little while to adjust. Sure could have used those candles Polly!

Well done guys……next time this will be more of a see how far you can go in the time allotted deal similar to Battleship. Be ready!

Thanks for the birthday celebration…….this was a great way to kick start the day with the pax of F3! Aye!
