I Hear the Train a Comin’

Northeast Tennessee Johnson City Iron Horse (Founders Park)

After a run heavy Baby Q (which was a real crowd pleaser) on Tuesday, YHC decided we’d stay put and play with some toys on Thursday. What kid doesn’t love blocks?—except we are building men, not toy houses.

Prayer—Donatello

The Thang:

COP

I hear a train a comin, it’s rolling round the bend, and I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when—Sorry.

YHC’s AO in South Carolina was near the airport. Every time a play would fly over in the gloom—burpees. Time to introduce the Pax to the Iron Horse version of the burpee plane—the burpee train. It was cut off at 10 burpees. It was a very long train and YHC knew what was coming.

Welcome FNG John Babel (Respect) -> from Buffalo NY -> Bison and hot sauce come to mind -> Tatanka it is (apparently this is the name for Buffalo in some a movie YHC has heard of, but never seen)

Moleskin

Really strong work by the Pax—this was a smoker. The merkins and burpees following the shoulder press work was a real ball buster. YHC encouraged the other Pax to step up and take over the Q’s next week or the beat downs will continue.
