On Tuesday night, I was concerned by the lack of HC’s that I would be the only one showing up at the Goldmine this morning. When I arrived about 10 min early, I was surprised to see Madoff, who was a no show for his VQ on Monday, already waiting at the flag. Did I just see him do a few burpees as a self-imposed penalty for his Monday mishap??!! As I exited my car, I heard someone call out “Space Cowboy!”; and, as I turned around, I could see War Eagle emerging from the shadows. With 3 PAX ready to go, it was game on.
I asked Madoff to lead warm-ups:
Slow squats x 10
Grass Grabbers x 10
Slow Vagodas x 10
Forward Arm Circles x 15
Backwards Arm Circles x 15
SSH x 20
We then moseyed to my truck to pick-up 3 jump ropes and then continued to the front entrance of the NOLA Gold Shrine on Airline. With jump ropes ready, I walked through the “Tori Boggs” beatdown, a tribute to the repeat world champion jump rope champion, Tori Boggs.
