[YHC gave instructions to PAX that we would be doing ten (10) 4-count reps of SSH. The first 5 would be normal, with YHC calling out cadence and PAX calling out rep #. Reps 6-10 would be performed in total silence. If the PAX failed to halt in unison, we would have a penalty to pay.]
First attempt: The PAX failed miserably. –> 10 burpees OYO
Second attempt: Significant improvement, but ultimate failure –> 10 burpees OYO
Third attempt: Stone cold performance, razor sharp perfection
[YHC was afraid the PAX would get this the first time. As it turns out, expectations must be realistic. It was harder but more fun than anticipated.]

COT / BOM: Having a proper perspective is a powerful thing. We should not allow our circumstances to shake our perspective.

Moleskin: YHC mixed it up a bit in order to utilize the parking lot at The Lair. Despite digital messaging, a planted Shovel Flag marking the spot, and enthusiastic arm-waving, the PAX did not want to bend to YHC’s will. Woody’s late warning saved the day, though, and the PAX arrived at the designated start point with 90 seconds to spare. 

A dozen men endured cold asphalt, new exercises, and 10 MOM at the still-fresh Collierville AO.
