Introduction
It has been a long time since I have been over at DT, probably over 5 months since I was there last. I originally was thinking of bringing my baseball diamond competition to DT. I even headed over to DT the night before to scout out the ball diamond to see how far it was from the starting point. After going there and seeing the proximity to the homes, I opted not to do that workout. Instead, I brought back my PAX Pick It board. Where the only people to blame for the workout would be those that picked the exercises from the board. Original plan was to do the exercise and then run up the backside of the hill, but after arriving early the morning of, I opted to keep the running on a level field as the hill was a little wet. All is good, we will get a good cardio push this way as well.
I arrived early to check out the scene and get it setup. It was 65 degrees out and 85% humidity. Cars started to roll in and we were ready to rock and roll.

It was great to get over to DT and see a bunch of new faces and experience a new scene. I don’t know why I don’t make it over there more often as it is only slightly further for me to DT than the OP. The PAX Pick It generated some mumbblechatter and as we continued to build on previous exercises. The first tab selected was a wild card – allowing the PAX to select whatever exercise he wanted. Ken Doll chose BBSUs. This was all good, until the 3rd tab that was selected was also BBSUs. So the group got their fill of BBSUs today and I am sure many felt the burn on their raw tailbones once they hit the showers today. The PAX don’t have anyone to blame but themselves for the workout as they picked the exercises (though blindly). At least the PAX were able to stay clear of the Burpees and Blockee picks. It ended up being a solid workout. Thanks to all that attended.
Everyone crushed it today.
Keep Pushing Men! Together we get better.
