Naked Man Moleskin:

- Spartan Race preview - In advance of the upcoming Summer Solstice, Dredd started the morning with an exposed torso to demo the Spartan look much to the chagrin of OBT and the silent majority. After providing the Faithful with a Greek history lesson, 2.0/Wiki kindly informed Dredd that the Spartans covered their torsos with bronze breastplates ( cuirasses ). Maybe a tank top would be more appropriate?

- Jason Priestly Negotiations - after unveiling Beverly Hills 29209, the 2nd half group challenged the 20 burpee lap and suggested that a 2 burpee lap and a zero burpee lap might be more appropriate for the exercise. After surveying the hill and weighing the options - 2 laps with 2 burpees vs. 1 lap with 20 burpees - the original design was chosen.

- The Indian Run - Still can't remember the Q-name for this fun little drill. I'm still biased to the Swedish name "Fartlek", not because it means speed play but because we are a group of guys and any chance to say "fart" is still pretty cool by me.

- Field of Dreams - Appropriate that Girardi was able to spend a good chuck of this workout leading the group on a baseball field. Go Yankee....ur... Go Giants! :-)

-John Wooden Quote of the Day - "The star of the team, is the team" Great team effort today!
