You choose the sequence and reps / round. There were burpees. There was running. There was a late arrival, but not who you might expect.

MOLESKINE: Difficult to mumble chatter when counting.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: See slack for Chili, 2.0 workout, and the thing formerly called Night Moves.

COT: Pep getting an offer on new role (especially before titan). Papa Bear friend struggling with cancer and running out of options. Mental health, especially for our young ones.

6 pax for coffee at Dose, including Michelin Man who was spotted near the AO muttering something about weights.

Grateful for these men and their friendship.
