We returned to the starting point for the 6th station then did 6 merkins and 6 WW2 SU at each stop. returned to the starting point and did 6 merkins, 6 WW@ SU and 6 2ct American Hammers(AH). Returned to the start and did 6 merkins, 6 WW2 SU, 6 2ct AH and 6 burpees we did this at 6 stations and at the end we completed 144 Merkins, 108 WW2 SU, 72 2ct AH and 36 burpees. Mr Holland passed to Trout.

Moseyed to the Chamber and did 20 bench dips, 20 2ct mountain Climbers and 20 windshield washer reps, we ran to the rental car and back in about 2 minutes. Trout thought this was too slow so we repeated the 20 BD, 20 MC’s and 20 WWipers and ran to the rental car and back in 1:30 seconds. To be sure we had this down we repeated a third time then moseyed to the parking lot for the COT.

Really enjoyed working out with Trout and Mudface today. The concern whenever YHC Qs is the amount of running that will be involved. Today, we likely went far less than a mile. Trout was struggling towards the end of the workout. He believes it might be a result of holiday meals. Today is my last day of being 46. 47 here I come.

It was an honor to lead this great group of men today.

Gotta Run!

It is no secret that YHC does not like to run, so when the Merkin challenge come around he embraces it completely. If you come to a workout where he is the Q in the month of November, then Merkins are a given.

This morning was one of those strangely cold and dark sunny and 70 mornings, so it was determined that it would be themed on animals that live in the cold.

Strong work was put in by all and Merkin count this morning was between 300 and 350.

It was an honor to lead.

YHC was supposed to Q The Anvil 2 weeks ago, but his M’s sickness had him begging out at the last minute. So, as YHC already had a workout prepared baseball watching was possible. Great to see the Nats win (sorry Glide) their first title. The PAX was awesome today, and Emoji brought the Halloween theme with a red light headlamp that lit his legs up while doing LBC’s like ET’s finger, as noted by Mudface. The SSH during Dora were challenging as the PAX ended up about 20 feet back of where they started due to a slight decline.

Merkin Challenge sheet is up for November, here’s the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-L8e9W24ygnU0suaGyKxzi1PgPqY1CBd57hLrKTZI-g/edit?fbclid=IwAR1tl11gTibRBc38OGvP7sdmN2kTOpleTQifi8oElayQWFrbxb0LBI_VTYQ&pli=1#gid=2105645288

Dedicated to U.S. Sgt. Zachary D. Tellier, 31, of Charlotte, NC (USA) a combat infantryman with the 4th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, at Fort Bragg. He died Sept. 29, 2007, of wounds sustained while on a ground patrol in Afghanistan.

The previous April, Tellier’s unit was conducting a mounted patrol when one of its vehicles drove over and detonated a bomb, which set the vehicle on fire, according to a statement from the 82nd Airborne.

Tellier pulled two paratroopers out of the vehicle to safety, suffering severe burns to his hands. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with valor for his actions.

After he was burned, Tellier jumped up in the turret to return fire, said Sgt. Michael Layton, a member of Tellier’s unit. A lieutenant made Tellier get out of the vehicle because of his injuries, Layton said.

“Zachary Tellier has to be the biggest hero I’ve ever known or heard of, not just because of what he did, but because of his personality,” Layton said. “He came in the Army because he wanted to be around soldiers and serve his country, and he paid the ultimate sacrifice.”

Tellier is survived by his wife, Sara Tellier of Atlanta, Ga.; his father, David W. Tellier of Groton, Mass.; and his mother, Pamela Rodriguez, of Falmouth, Mass.

Again strong work was done

It was an honor to lead
