4 of our most stalwart PAX arrived (mostly) on-time at the infamous Top Shelf. It was noted that although the temperatures were only in the 50’s, our PAX had a varying degree of cover-up. Floyd wore the long sleeves, long pants combo while Flying J had shorts/long shirt. Doogie was rocking the gangster hoodie while Riggs went short sleeves/shorts. There was an intense fashion discussion about whose outfit was best. The ensuing drama almost resulted in forfeiture of the entire workout. Luckily, Floyd, the rock and cornerstone of all the workouts decided that instead of a walk-off, we would have a friendly game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine who looked best.

Sometimes I think they want me to Q just so they can mock me the whole time. It makes the workout go by so much quicker for them!
Good luck at the Tough Mudder next weekend guys
Doogie won the fashion debate, by a long shot. His only limitation is that he can’t turn left.
