• The excitement was audible when I announced that we would be doing the traditional 610 Stomp workout.
• Tool informed me that the 610 Stomp was rebranded as just The Stomp a few years ago. Remember when Radio Shack tried to just be The Shack? Hopefully we can learn from the mistakes of that once proud franchise. Like the TRS-80, the burpee is full of promise. Embrace it.
• Amnesty was fired up after this workout. He and Tool were headed home to enter the next available Spartan Race, ironically, using a dial-up connection on Tool’s TRS-80.
• Rudy and YHC were out in front to the turn-around. Rudy had informed YHC that he needed to slow down, because this was not a conversational pace. From that point on, YHC worked to keep that pace, knowing that Rudy would slow down, or at least stop talking.
• I kid, I kid.
• Saban was right there with us when we turned around, then he must have gotten spooked because he took off like a bat out of hell.
• Catfish and Cracklin’ were right behind us talking about electron structures? Maybe I was hallucinating. It was muggy and we were running fairly fast, but I think they may have figured out Cold Fusion.
• Much more productive than my conversation with Rudy, which centered around a large wart on my knee and the way it has changed in the past year.
• Why did Saban take of so fast?
