Comfort Zones and Downpours
All All MECA BackblastsFebruary 23rd, 2016
Inspired by @Gamma’s Comfort Zone speech last year, YHC finally stepped up to lead Q at the Ridge. Forecast called for heavy showers so YHC planned for a mix of wet and dry pain. Only sprinkling when YHC arrived at The Ridge. Greeted by @Gamma and @ScheduleC with their rucks on their back #hardcore. ScheduleC left early with some #mumblechatter about there not being enough rain for his liking. In all, 9 rain warriors from Harrisburg showed up for a beat down. Here is how it went:

Thank you for the opportunity to lead! Sound off in the comment section below.
Great lead bud.
Nice job, @Helga. Definitely feeing the JumpSquats and Lunges.
Hate I missed your first Q at the Ridge, Helga, but I was Qing a workout as well. Looks like a good time!
Nice lead @Helga! It’s hard to believe the Spartans had enough time and energy after the 100 Merkins, 200 Jump Squats, and 300 Lunges to fight off the Persians. Then of course there was my partner @Gapper, yelling something about Scotland Forever?? Or maybe that was my imagination. Fun stuff!
Goor one, Helga … even managed a bit of 2nd F during your extended mosey to warm-o-rama … say hello to Rex Mangiaracina when you see him … #itsasmallworld
Bird Cage … thanks for helping me get to 300 on those lunges … still feeling those
