6 hardy souls came out to the second iteration of The Anvil. Here is how we toiled. Mosey to blacktop for COP: SSH, DQ, arm circles, some other stuff. Mosey to track, trying to EH someone along the way, without success (for now). What a welcome sight, a 75 pound sandbag with handles! Each PAX took a turn throwing Deadweight (the sandbag) forward, then do a lap around the track, once you catch up, toss it again. Once the PAX had made it a quarter way around, switch to sandbag burpees with a throw at the end, another lap, rinse,…

On a nice humid low 70s morning, 14 beasts showed up for a good beatdown from the Fireman. COP (Warm Up) – 6 Don Quixotes (Saab kept going – I think he did 9), 6 OYO burpees, 19 Freddie Mercuries and 44 Side straddle hops. So the PAX are wondering why the odd #s. The reason is that on 6/6/1944 the Allies landed on Normandy for what we call D-Day. After an “appropriate” recovery period we headed down for our first exercise. First Exercise: In honor of the 75th anniversary of D-Day, we split up 75 burpees into 19 sets…
