Catalyst comes with options these days. It’s BRR season which means two things; 1) some PAX want miles, and 2) some PAX don’t want miles. YHC (running BRR) had the Q and Rainman (injured from BRR training) had the non-running Q. Pick your poison. 24 showed up with one FNG (Ham Bone)… disclaimer given.
Warm-up
SSH x 15, IW x 10, GM x 10…. time to decide. Run or no-run. 19 went with YHC and 5 went with Rainman.

Friar Tuck tells me we have 13 minutes to go. Honestly, i thought we would be pressing time by now. PAX was pushing hard and we still had time to spare…. doh!
Run to the upper parking lot for sprints and AMRAP exercises. Exercises as I remember:
Merkins, 6″ leg hold, sumo jump squats, hammers…. at least 5 more but I can’t remember as I was pretty wiped at this point.

- Not much to say here…. i was spent (we covered almost 4 miles and hit Sisyphus/other hills). PAX pushed hard with Burgundy & Friar Tuck out front. Franzia cussed a lot.
- Rainman got out of a backblast
Always a pleasure.
