There’s an involuntary side-glance that occurs at The Blitz. The PAX can’t help but do a check: Who’s wielding the biggest Bell? And among the hearty men gathered today, our estimation of Tecumseh’s Bell seemed to increase as the Beatdown progressed. By the end of the workout, was it 65 pounds? 88? 105? He assured us we were overestimating. Whatever the case, we hoisted the Bells at 0530, and this is what went down.

Moleskin
Nice work, Fault and Tecumseh. Two good men to meet in the 0-Dark-Thirty gloom and lift Heavy Metal with. Aye.
Workout complete, we returned to the back of the Cougar lot to find one Bob Villa there, the trusty Blitz site Q and all-around Brave Captain. Villa’s day job required him to do some not-day-job duties, working from midnight to 0600, and he met us to collect the KBs. Thanks, Villa. Get some rest, brother.
COT
- Return to the Blitz. It’s good living. Fault’s at the helm next week.
- Other stuff is happening. Listen for it.
Tecumseh took us out, praying for God’s help in all our endeavors. Amen.
