Moleskin:

Great job this morning fella's. I hope you enjoyed it. I had fun creating it and watching it play out. I had no idea how close on time we would be, so good on you for busting it! 

Made it to the finish with 30 seconds  to spare. Once I announced the punishment (100 burpees each) for being late, I've never seen Jimmy O run so fast with a coupon. 

2,000 total reps this morning! (500 squats with rucks, 500 flutter kicks, 500 overhead press with ruck, 250 merkins and 250 burpees) Plus a little ruck shuffling. Great job! 

Always a pleasure to push each other to become better men each and every day. Thanks for coming out and I hope you leave feeling stronger than before. 

AYE!
