Great turnout for our coldest morning in the gloom this year. Could have had 10 PAX if one (Huffy- that’s right- I will throw you under the bus!!! 😁) that woke up to tell us they weren’t coming this morning would have just gotten out of bed and braved the cold with us…. but I digress. Chatter about the crucial cold coming next week was a big topic this morning. How many layers can you put on before you are not able complete some of these exercises???? Ice along the route between stations slowed our runs, but each station brought the burn this morning. Box jumps became curb jumps or step ups by the last rotation, and YHC hard a hard time doing ATM cadence on the last round as well. And Bruce never disappoints. Overall, thought it was a good all-around workout that might get even better results in warmer weather. Looking forward to see if the weather people keep their streak of accurate weather predictions intact and taking the weekend to mentally prepare for the arctic tundra that will await us this next week.
