PAX Getting After It with HIIT Circuit at #TheRanch

by | Aug 17, 2017 | Back Blasts

QIC: no-ski
PAX POSTED: no-ski, no-see-um, bartman, heisenberg

Weather was about 80-82 degrees with no air moving at all. 4 PAX posted with 1 FNG (Welcome Heisenberg! RESPECT!) Been a bit since last FNG sighting, so this was a nice morning indeed.

YHC on Q today.

Beautiful night sky with the moon and the stars above us. Today was all about HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). No shame in admitting that YHC is stepping up the cardio beatdowns, to improve his own cardio for the Tough Mudder coming up in October.
