The built-in ceiling fans made an already great AO even better on a warm morning.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"989\">The newest exercise of the Tour, Burpee Step-Overs, received rave reviews. Silver Fox immediately predicted they&#8217;d be making appearances in future workouts, and based on the reactions, he&#8217;s probably right.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1291\">Early in the workout, FNG Twinkletoes joked that after the first round of merkins he probably should have just gone for a run instead. Fortunately, he stuck it out. Both Twinkletoes and Sawdust crushed their first beatdown, and we&#8217;re excited to have them helping strengthen this corner of the county.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1293\" data-end=\"1435\">Dr. Toot gave Pele&#8217; props for his &#8220;no quit&#8221; attitude, and Pele&#8217; once again proved why he&#8217;s been near the top of the Tour standings all summer.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1437\" data-end=\"1541\">Trebuchet quietly went about his business all morning, staying focused and never coming out of the zone.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1543\" data-end=\"1719\">The Ring of Fire was a fitting finish. YHC managed to survive until the American Hammers before finally coming apart. Sometimes the workout wins. I&#8217;ll be ready for the rematch.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1hryk59\" data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"1727\">COT<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1729\" data-end=\"2006\">Prayers were lifted for the brothers currently on the IR. An injury can be as much a physical battle as a mental one. Sitting on the sidelines can be exhausting. Take time to check in with those brothers. A simple call or message can make more of a difference than you realize.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2008\" data-end=\"2081\">Welcome to F3 <strong data-start=\"2022\" data-end=\"2037\">Twinkletoes<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2042\" data-end=\"2053\">Sawdust<\/strong>.
