Tough Skins has a nice rack; we all knew that. In fact, we had admired it long ago (Fall? Winter?) when he first showed it to us. But today we got to find out just how nice it really is when we got to hold it.
But before you start judging, maybe you need to understand why everyone was touching ‘Skins’s rack. Here’s what happened:

Announcements:
Mint Hill Madness on 5/28. Vet closed for the event, so workout will be the 5K. Come represent. AYE!
Vet still on tomorrow, Chum substiQ’ing.
Also tomorrow: Providence Presbyterian convergence @ 7:00 for workout with rocks (rebuilding wall), fellowship, and food served by church.

Moleskin:
Chicken Fried must have known Capri was out of town, so took Capri’s role and pulled in some time during COP. Great to have our brother back, and sounds like he’ll be able to make the new work schedule fit with F3, so very happy to know he’ll be a regular again. (We’ll start talking to him next week about getting an adult-sized KB.)

The Farmer-carry, CMIYC was a gasser as always. If it didn’t suck so much, YHC probably wouldn’t do it.

YHC, again demonstrating in deed, not just word, that he is not a professional, called 5X through a painful series of 10/20/30/40. Only to realize after about 2 rounds, that time wouldn’t allow for any of the other pain if we had to grind through 5 times. Audibled at 3 to wrap up.

KB challenge met with style! Since there were more bells than hands, quick thinking by Tough Skins saved the day. A dash to his truck for the KB rack he built and we were on our way just as the 60-seconds of planning expired. Not only that, but then we also beat the 2-minute goal by almost 25% (1:33). AYE!!
The return goal of T-minus-10 was met with even less planning. And as worn out as we were, we were still able to coordinate and execute a safe carry of all KBs back to the basketball court exactly as the timer showed 1:23. YHC hopes that the challenge and the teamwork it required inspires each of us to step up and be all God has enabled him to be today.
It was also a good source of laughter after a solid beatdown as we complimented Tough Skins on his nice rack.
And it was a nice rack.

Thank you for the opportunity to push myself and all of us this morning. And T-claps to Chum for providing the tunes.
