Awesome being back to Anvil and at the Q spot.  Wasn’t sure i was going to make it today, as around 3:30 i awoke for the day to a wonderful stomach issue.  I’ll spare everyone the details…though i did burden Voodoo, Sundancer and Chanel with the deets…sorry #isharedtoomuch #besties #hopeyoucaneattoday.

Strong crew today; people were blazing on the AYGs #leadingfromthemiddle.

Great to have a couple brothers in Swiper and Sundancer that i’ve met since hitting SOFA WIB join us. Everyone should try this workout. Seriously the hardest workout in F3 off Rea Road at 5:30 that meets at Olde Providence. Fast dudes.

Every AO should have a North Face. The only thing better than the climb up is the race down the West Escarpment.

Brush, an amazing recall of the workout. You must have written it out. I can’t remember what a Freddy Mercury is, much less how many of them we did. Great Q.

Agreed with the North Face. I personally liked Tarmac 6A-14b on the east/northeast side of the west entrance. Great area for sprints. If you didn’t like it, congrats. There’s only 168 other lanes you can run in.

There was some mumblechatter about the size of my rock. As we all know, it’s not the size of the rock that matters, it’s how heavy it is.
