The Pax were enthusiastic about a mid-summer retreat from the hot weather this AM. YHC had researched previous backblasts in an effort to find a BLIMP style workout and found one from 2017 led by Old Bay. I remember this one well and was recognized for my mumblechatter in the backblast. Let’s do that!
