NMM:

• Today’s workout was adapted from an F3 Lanco Memorial Day beatdown: https://f3lanco.com/backblast/memorial-day-hero-wod/
• All pax completed the trip down the weinke and were working their way back up. Strong work, men.
• The original plan had us traveling down the length of the parking lot; the rain necessitated an Omaha to travel across the width of it.
• Drama Queen put on a great performance of confusion at the instructions, then went to work with nary a peep.
• Today was as close as YHC will ever get to getting Boomerang to ask to run….and it wasn’t close.
  • Boom, 7 minutes in to round 1: “Can we do something else?”
  • Me: “We can run.”
  • Boom: “I’ll persevere with this.”
• Boomerang and Superfly were fast and both were at least a round ahead of YHC. Great work, guys.
• Subfloor requested the dive bombers at the end, feeling cheated that they hadn’t been part of the workout proper.
• Tammie and Second City were both looking strong after a tough Frostbite beatdown yesterday at Iron Throne.
• Adobe gave YHC the obligatory wet workout bear hug upon completion of COT. Much love to that man.
• Schneider is officially a “RESPECT.” Don’t forget it.  It was great to see him out.
• During Mary, all of the pax went back under the breezeway…except Starfish. He stayed out in the mist with YHC despite the urgings of the other pax.
• YHC didn’t hear much from the opposite end of the line where Ziffel, Ziggy, Tonka, Nelly, and Slow Pitch were congregated, but hopes their silence was indicative of a workout that gave the guys’ more than what they paid for this morning.

Thanks for the keys, Adobe.  Keys are in the puddle by the cone.
