15 of the Harrisburg area’s finest resisted the temptation to enjoy a few extra minutes (or hours) of shuteye, dealt with the local road and bridge construction (touchy subject in my family), and made their way to “The Ridge” for a morning “pick me up”. Glad to be back after a few missed workouts as a result of a “beat-down” of a different sort in Vegas. The ground was soft, the shovel flag was planted, and off we went!

1. As always, appreciated the chance to head such a great group on men (and a minor) today. Again, if you haven’t had a Q yet, please step up…………if I can do it, anyone can!
2. Nice work T-Rex. A few more workouts and you will be outperforming dad UCB!!
3. Couldn’t find a F3 group in Vegas. Would be interested to see if they worked chips, dice, and cocktail waitresses into their workouts.
4. Chaos, did your ears ring this morning. Rocks in my head had me call Clueless Chaos at least once. I promise you both I did not mistake the bald Spartan one for the tightly hair cut buffed one.
5. Missed seeing Jolt this morning. He promised me once spring sprung, he would come out of hibernation. Maybe he said summer?

Pleasure as always gentlemen. It does not get easier……but we will get stronger!
Good beat down sir. Enjoyed it all until the hill o’ burpees at the end…something about being on set 3 & @BBQ & @Cluess are planking up already that just sucks the wind out of you.
Thanks for leading, good one!
Nice one @Casper. Good to have you back. Killer ladder at the end.
