The Bullpen

Date: 2026-08-05
AO: The Bullpen
Q: Peanuts , Peloton
PAX: Peloton, Peanuts
FNGs: None
COUNT: 2
WARMUP: Graciously led by Peloton
THE THANG: Again, Peloton had a fantastic Q planned with many sadistic, medieval torture devices laid out on the tables. It would have put the Monty Python Spanish Inquisition to shame. Just joking as my recollection is that they used such devices as the dreaded comfy chair. Regardless, Peloton was quickly befouled by his own torture rope and twisted his ankle. Despite my best efforts to get him to quit torturing me, he gutted it out for a bit before succumbing. I finished off with 2 circuits of 20 dips, 20 coupon curls, 20 OHPs, and moseys up to clubhouse and back. MARY: no
ANNOUNCEMENTS: hopefully Peloton survives his vacation. I will drop a message if I can make it out next Wednesday (I think I will). COT: no.
