Pax: Rudy, Mahatma, Boo-Boo, Klinger, Fast Tax, Tenderloin, YHC
Seven pax arrived at Rock City in a soupy, gloom. 5 were foolish enough to follow YHC. Wisdom comes with age and Tenderloin did his thing on the track.

NMM
• I knew these men weren’t playing around after the 100 yard bear crawl. Guys were getting after it. No breaks, and stayed off their knees
• YHC’s communication skills were not the best this morning. A little bit of a cluster with the pull-ups. Although my ambiguity at the Rock Pile worked out. I told guys to pick a rock they could press 10 times. I meant shoulder press, but some interpreted it as bench press and got a bigger rock than they might have otherwise. That made it just right for the rock suicides.
• T-claps to Klinger for really pushing it on the last sprint of every set.
• We only had 6 but it was a strong 6. YHC feels like we had a pretty good pace and got some good work in.
• Boo-Boo and Rudy were keeping each other honest on the swerkins.
• Mahatma’s extra trip around the sun doesn’t seem to have slowed him any.
• We tried to celebrate Mahatma’s birthday, but Rudy was there and let us know we weren’t finished celebrating his yet. We thought it was over after Saturday’s Yipee bag, but I think he was wanting a small celebration at PJs. I skipped coffee, but I heard Mahatma had to buy Rudy’s coffee.
• T-claps for Tenderloin for his consistency. He’s putting in the work every day.
