FNG-1 = Joker (Travolta 2.0)
YHC pulled up to the AO this morning around 5:25am and saw only one car in the entire parking lot. Wasn’t sure if it was a pax or someone from St. Marks, but luckily it was Burgoo who had thought he was going to go solo until I arrived. Soon after, Chickpea came in running. And right at the final minute, Travolta and his 2.0, Joker, joined us as well. We moseyed through the parking lot and to the arena (fountain). A disclaimer was given, something along the lines of “We who are about to die, salute you!”. Then we warmed up for our battle with the mysterious water beast in the arena.

Gladiatorskine
- It was especially humid this morning, though YHC's sweat angel was significantly larger than others. Maybe YHC is an especially sweaty person regardless of humidity…
*mindblown*
- Joker kept up with his dad pretty well. Some would say that Travolta could learn a thing or two from Joker.
- Recovery laps are a great way to kill time and think of exercises when you realize there are still 15 minutes and you already completed the planned workout. Lt. Dans are fantastic timekillers and the pax love them!
Thank you for the opportunity to lead. Great work today by all pax in attendance. If anyone is so inclined, I will be Qing Hollywood tomorrow. Rumor has it we may have an FNG in attendance for his second post. Until then – CB
