US Open tennis is underway, so it seemed like an appropriate time to capitalize on the tennis courts. Proved to be a good appetizer for Shady, who left today to head to NYC to take in a couple days of the Open.
Great to meet Ham and Rebar, recently EH’d by Nomad. Solid young pax…expecting them to be stepping up for VQ soon.
Good to have Kooter back out. Pretty certain we worked off some of those calories from the recent road trips.
Chicken Hawk broke out the mumble chatter early in the warm up — Santini would have been impressed!
Hope Li’l E was pleased not to miss out on 10 Merkins during the warm up. Mind reading the Q can be dangerous…those Merkins ended up being squeezed into the middle of 10 Burpees.
Life has been coming fast and furious to me throughout this spring and summer. Sometimes it has felt like life has been getting the better of me. It was great to post in the drizzle and dish out pain to some willing and energetic pax. Thanks to Li’l E for the invite.
