15?, I thought it was 14, PAX told the rain to piss off and posted at The Blender for gloomy kettlebell workout. It is one of the lucky AOs to offer some shelter from the rain, and boasted a good PAX count. This was only YHC's second time to the AO, but after last week with Turnpike, was itching to Q. Lessons were learned, pain was felt, and the sweat flowed like wine in Aspen!

Moleskin:
Great effort by everyone today. I enjoy using a heavy bell, it's hard to achieve a propper hip thrust with a kettlebell that's too light. That said, it made Qing very difficutlt. I have been told if you can't do it, don't Q it. I got nauteous more times than I would have liked this morning. Going heavy made it difficult to maintain a rep count that challenged all the PAX. Lesson learned.
Bam Bam commented he didnt' know any of the songs from todays workout, here is the playlist. I honestly try to pick songs by bands people will recognize, or at least enjoy haha.
Certain Shade of Green – Incubus
New Skin – Incubus
Toxicity – System of a Down
Too Late – 311
I'm Awake – Intervals
Reapers – Muse
That Golden Rule – Biffy Clyro
Psycho – Muse
Woman – Wolfmother
-I don't know how scrappy does burpees so fast, that guy is quick.
– One day I will be able to keep up with Caboose consistently on the runs, but not today.
– Bam Bam can apperently shoot mind bullets (See Tenacious D, Wonderboy) if you dare to pass him on a run. Samsonite I hope you heal up soon.
– I haven't formaly met Uncle Rico, but damn is that guy strong. He made that kettlebell look like it was hollow.
– Baxter, great job distracting the Q and making shoulder touch mericans just a little more difficult.
– There were lots of other awesome performances but I am new enough that I don't know everyone.
Thanks everyone for coming out, and thank you Dallas for the opportunity to Q. I love kettlebell work, I am new to using them in a group setting though. That AO is awesome and I look forward to more pain there in the future!
