PAX: The Mick, Antman, Spur, Oilermaker, Mufasa, Optimus, Al Gore, HHH, Class Act, Scarecrow, Dr. Freud, Lights Out, Atticus, Thunder, Tank, Coors (QIC)
16 pax did something to get their hearts pumping. Listed below are what each pax did.
The Mick finished a long day at the office with a 2.3 mile ruck with the pup. I’m sure there was at least 65# in his ruck. The man is nonchalantly making gains!
Antman crushed a 5k with a 10# plate carrier! That is no easy task! He even set a PR WITH THE PLATE! Talk about tenacity and hard work!
Spur ran 4.??? His Strava paused, but thankfully it wasn’t his heart! Keep getting #everydamnmile!
Oilermaker went out and got through 5.26 miles. He claims it was damp, but that was probably just the sweat he left behind. I want to see a race between OIlermaker and Spur. Pretty sure there would be sucker punches involved…
Mufasa completed my Ode to 27. For a man who is rucking the distance between the Earth and the moon this year, this probably felt like a cakewalk!
Opitmus completed my Ode to 27. He claims that he has been slacking off, but I doubt thats the case. The man is a stud!
Al Gore went on a 4-mile run with the M in the morning, followed by pull-ups, abs, and merkins throughout the day. After 13.1, those 4 miles must’ve felt pretty nice! Add that PT to it and you have yourself a great day!
HHH completed my Ode to 27. I doubt this was hard after he made us suffer through his alphabet WOD!
Class Act completed a 2.4-mile ruck and then assault bike/chin-ups/pull-ups/diamond merkins WOD. He makes the Murph look easy every single day!
Minion completed my Ode to 27 with the M. He found a new nemesis, the perfect perfect merkin. I wish I could say it gets easier, but if it does, just do more reps!
Scarecrow completed most of my Ode to 27. He ran out of time, but I’m sure he did perfect reps and made us all look like chumps!
Dr. Freud completed my Ode to 27 in 52 minutes. Why did it take him 7 more minutes? Glad you asked! He was taste-testing the newest local brews throughout the workout. You thought you were tough, think again!
Lights Out did 2.1 miles on the elliptical and then a WOD of pull-ups, squats, and merkins. He introduced his head to the rafters on the pull-ups and made them asking for mercy!
Atticus and Thunder completed a 5k, warm-up, and 20 minutes of sandbag tossing and throwing. Sandbag throwing? I’m sure it was hard to throw it more than a few feet, but I bet it was an easy target for batting practice!
Tank complete my Ode to 27 WOD. I doubt it was a hard as a Murph. It probably felt like a rest day for him!
