Oh and she put out an album exactly 20 years ago titled Breathe which was a reoccuring theme in the workout. 10 pax were at the flag ready to roll at 0530 so we got after it.

Sprained Ankles and Lost Panties

Posted on November 4, 2019 | 5 minutes | 872 words |

Nekkid’ Mole Skin: The title of this BB was going to be Water Boarded (thanks to @shutincarpex), but didn’t quite have that oomph to it. You see, after the workout this morning at Kryptonite (which by the way one of the PAX called this workout the best ever at Kryptonite), as we were 2nd F’in at #Trunkaterria (thanks Wonderbread!), we were discussing how Schlitz fell down during the lateral shuffle Pyramid Gassers, then Schlitz told us this story of why his ankle is a bit unstable: Schlitz says that he and his M were on vacation…Aruba or somewhere like that….
