Impromptu Birthday Party!!!
All All MECA BackblastsDecember 15th, 2016
This morning 29 men came out for their usual Highlands beatdown and were treated to a Birthday Party instead. Brinkley was nice enough to allow me to lead my bday Q (my virgin Q with the HC pax) and unfortunately I was turning 41, not 18. Thanks for allowing a crazy skywalker native come lead you men this morning.
On a side note…I have to say I was impressed that even with a high intensity workout like this one, I was not able to quiet the mumble chatter from Chopper for more than a 30 second window during the merkin ladder…Impressive!!!
My phone didn’t record the sound off and I know I missed a few pax. Please sound off in the comments to be recognized…that wasn’t an easy workout and you deserve credit for knocking it out. Have a great week men.

Wow. I thought you guys were joking about doing five burpees between every station. No wonder everyone was so tired. I should start skipping the burpees more often.
Happy Birthday @Harding. Great beatdown. Feel free to keep your Q’s back at Skywalker for a while.
Great lead Harding. Also good call not letting the PAX know you were taking the Q for me. Think the numbers might have been lower. Not looking forward to future birthdays since the numbers will just get higher. May need to teach you some division before next year. Also impressive performance by Chopper keeping the mumble chatter going despite a very tough beat down. Kudos!
That is hilarious disaster…I am pretty sure you were not the only one skipping burpees
Also, I left the logs over there so you guys can play with them for a couple days before I come pick them back up
Thanks again Brinkley…I agree the surprise bday party was definitely the right approach.
