9 Pax made the right decision this morning and joined me for a classic RedFriday beatdown.  We tackeld the behemouth WOD, Whitten.

“Army Captain Dan Whitten, 28, of Grimes, Iowa, assigned to the 1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, based out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, died February 2, 2010, when enemy forces in Zabul, Afghanistan, attacked his vehicle with an improvised explosive device. Whitten is survived by his wife, Starr Whitten, his mother, Jill Whitten, his father, Dan Whitten, and his sister, U.S. Army Captain Sarah Whitten.”

I was looking for something that would attempt to get us ready for the Sasquatch that is coming in just a couple of weeks and after seeing what this WOD did to most of us, I think I chose wisely.  I saw some looks and heard some sounds from pax that I have not seen or heard in a while.  As I was thinking about this BB, the lyrics ‘Let the bodies hit the floor’ came to mind because it looked like everyone was about to fall out.

All PAX pushed it hard this morning and gave it everything.  This WOD does not give you much time to catch a breath.  I felt the merlot bubble a couple times and had to swallow it back down.  Don’t look now but we have a new title contender.  Foreclosure ripped through this workout and was popping off the ground during the burpees.  I think those vested workouts are paying off.  As always Crayola was making it look easy.  This dude can’t be stopped.  Alpo had a little extra incentive this morning.  He was knocking it out so that he could make his tee time in Lexington.  We need to make sure he has a tee time every day.  Dempsy is steady and consistent. I don’t think he broke a sweat.  Bengay and Sunshine were pushing it like the proper atheletes that they are.  Pothole continues to push the limits and is getting better every day.  You don’t get a AOQ position by going through the motions.  Inspector is back and is pushing it full throttle.  Crayola and Foreclosure better watch out.

It was a great day in the gloom and it was a pleasure to workout with these men.

Prayer Request:

Quickie and Crayola’s brother.

Keep pushing F3Greenwood.
