COT

  • On what was the rainiest day in the history of Heavy Metal, we had an unofficial record 12 PAX.  Tclaps.
  • The mama junk flip was in an absolute mud pit.  Increased degree of difficulty for feet and hands.  Good to see mama again.
  • 50 lbs kettle balls may sink and disappear in the mud.  Keep an eye on them you don’t want to have to stop the workout so Chong Li has to get out his underground detection goggles.  #lifeofaspy
