CoT

  • Welcome to our former FNG, Tool Time, FKA Daniel, who was brought out by recent newcomer @HoneyBadger. Tool Time is an endurance athlete and all around nice guy, he is an IT Project Manager and renovated his own house (hence his name).
  • @Palin asked for prayers that his “Brain Plumbing” test
  • Continued prayers for @Mutton’s wife, and tests being done for her stomach issues.
  • YHC is leading a Sexual Chocolate themed beatdown at #IS THIS Saturday 01/26, with a special “Breakfast and Brews” coffeeteria at the Foothills Brewpub after! This all in celebration of the 2019 Sexual Chocolate release this weekend! BE THERE!

NMM

  • Today’s workout totals: 1.5 miles, 62 pull ups, 58 burpees, 100 merkins, 80 squats, 100 American Hammers, 100 Feddy Mercury’s, 20 flights of stairs!
  • Strong group this morning, with a lot of huffing and puffing.
  • There were some comments about YHCs chosen names for what is a ladder or a chute aka “shoot” because the PAX were supposed to say “oh shoot”, along the lines of “Yatzee” and other various board games… admittedly, the stairs should have been called “ladders,” but we did them first and the runs increased distance like a ladder, get it!?
  • After that brief bit at the beginning, not too much MC! Too much huffing and puffing.
  • Naming our FNG, @ToolTime took a while… we were all cold and winded from the beatdown! He showed great form and put in great work throughout the beatdown. Watch out for this guy, hope he keeps it up!
  • @Honeybadger has got this F3 thing down already… sign him up to Q!
  • @Huckleberry has the fastest burpees in the Dash, without a doubt. He was kind enough to hang back with us a while.
  • @Zima did his best to catch @Huck on behalf of all of us, and did a fairly good job of it too!
  • I learned that @Cheesesteak could give @Hedwig a run for his money on a bear crawl. He later said he was “dragging,” but didn’t seem it!
  • @RootCanal showed up late, but @Mutton luckily saw him arriving just as we were heading out and stayed back to bring him with us. #Respect to you both!
  • @Palin was surprisingly low on the MC that YHC could hear today. But we did exchange high fives a few times during ladder work!

I think @Burlap would be satisfied with this mornings beatdown, hopefully he gets feeling better soon! Thanks for the keys @Pita, always a pleasure to lead such fine men! Til next time,
