MOLESKIN:
It is very difficult to keep things in order while Q’ing a Simon Says workout. I wish I had prepared more for it. Simon Says has a lot of potential for sharp-minded Qs.
We completed about half of the BERT WOD in 30 minutes. Probs could complete the whole thing if we had an hour–Mothership.
Pleasure as always to get better with fellow Morgolians.
Prayers for PAX we haven’t seen in a while.
Feeling unchallenged from the workout, Commie was seen knocking out hundreds of 50# barbell curls after the workout, while the rest of us mortals slunk back to our cars.
