Thoughts and prayers for the Chepul family.  Chelms and Abacus lost their brother Bill Chepul after a long and hard fight with brain cancer.  Glad to have Abacus out with us today.  You and Chelms know that the men of A51 will support you with continued prayers and with anything else you may need.

Brushback brought his A-game as usual.  YHC saw the plan prior and knew the Brixham hill set would be brutal.  1.5 miles with HR burpees, CDDs, and 76 flutters in about 15 minutes.  Nicely done today as always.  Pleasure to split the Q with you brother.

YHC’s F3 journey started at Centurion.  Each post at The Brave feels like I am cheating on Centurion.  Awesome to have the 2 workouts converge today.  Strong crew of men who all worked hard.

Ages today ranged from mid-20’s to mid-50’s.  Five Respects out today and they all crushed it.  YHC enjoyed chasing Checkpoint up the parking deck ramps.  BOG posting Wednesday and Friday. Great to have you back out with us.  Easy to see you are getting stronger.  Van Pelt, Frehley’s, Triple 7 all pushing hard.  Respect, gentlemen.

T-claps to Scabby for bringing 2 FNG’s, Beekeeper and Spelling Bee.  Welcome, men, strong work today.  Keep on posting at workouts.  Group stayed tightly bunched today, which was the objective. Great work all.  Enjoyed getting passed in the deck by Mr. Bean who is crushing it as of late. A pleasure leading this group today with Brushback.  4.38 miles on the Garmin. Thanks to MT and Champagne for the opportunity.  Thank you to Checkpoint for taking us out.  Prayers and well wishes to Maverick and all other brave appointees at the US Naval Academy.
