Moleskine:
#TClaps to all the PAX for enduring this one without complaining
#TClaps to Reluctant Yankee for the vast improvement in the run. “It’s nice to be able to use the run to recover.” Aye, thats what happens when you’re becoming a runner.
#TClaps to MrAwesome and Hawgcycle for finishing every exercise before YHC. I was getting sick of you letting me beat you.

Great Q Rev. We need a name for the Pull-up Bar Train with the Burpee Caboose. That was a well-organized exercise and a great use of the pull-up bars. It should become a regular feature.
