QIC rolled in at 5:20 and did not see a soul. Luckily 7 other PAX showed up for what was expected to be a good time. Although rolling my left ankle inward was not fun, leading my brothers was too much not to miss…

QIC thought it would be fun to cool off on a hot morning and do some team building….little did he know that team building would be against him….

Disclaimer given, QIC then confused Next Door with an FNG. Mosey to begin.

Round 1: Merkins/ 10 merkins w/ ruck
Round 2: Plank/ curls x 10

Round 8: RBCs/ Bent over rows x 10. Repeato as needed

After Round 1, Spauldini lead the charge of water balloons…against QIC…

After a total of 18 agonizing rounds, QIC was a puddle of his former self. Having been sufficiently drenched and pelted with water balloons, QIC threatened to make the PAX do 5 minutes of burpees. However, despite the welts on my back, QIC cooled off (literally) and we moseyed back to Mary.

Moleskin:

Thanks for playing along today. I try to keep things fun even if it means taking one for the team. Shoutouts go to Gurkha who made running with a 30 pound ruck look easy and Berlin for crushing it as well.

Thanks for allowing me to lead today. You brothers are the reason I love waking up and working out. Prayers to Spauldini’s mother in law and safety for Turbine on his mission trip in Brazil.
