Rehab’s First Time

Rehab’s First Time

17 men, including a couple of friendly new guys, arrived at Anvil on a relatively cool Wednesday morning to support one of their brothers, Rehab, in his virgo Q appearance. They all received a very brief disclaimer from Baracus and headed out into the gloom for a different brand of rehabilitation.

The Thang
Start with a little mosey around the parking lot. Mix in some karaoke and backwards running, then circle up on the far end of the parking lot near Hwy 51.

Moleskin
It was another unseasonably cool morning for August…perfect weather in which to get your day started at Anvil. We had a nice turnout for Rehab’s virgin Q, only four months after his first F3 post at Anvil on March 26th.
All seemed pretty normal as we followed Rehab around the parking lot until we circled up and began the COP. Like many before him, Rehab fell victim to the cadence count. It seems easy when your just the guy in the circle counting every fourth count, but when you’re leading things are different. Let’s just say we could have used a metronome, a bullhorn, and a quick lesson in counting to 4. I’m not sure how many of each exercise we did, but oh well, we certainly got warmed up…especially after Rehab threw 20 burpees at us out of frustration. In all seriousness, it was a little shaky at first, but Rehab pulled it all together by the time we circled up for Mary at the end of the workout.
Overall it was another strong Anvil workout…plenty of burpees and challenging exercises to get the heart rate up. We saw a lot of the campus and got a full body workout at the same time. Nice first Q Rehab! Looking forward to your next Q in the future.

Welcome to our two FNGs, Icky Shuffle (Kevin M) who was EH’d by Boutique, and Foreman (Rob H).  Foreman is Baracus’ brother-in-law from Wilmington, NC.  Hoping to get him to join the F3 expansion at the beach sometime soon.  Great job guys!  Hope to see you both back out in the gloom soon!
