Welcome to our FNG’s, Brilleaux (pronounced: “Brillo”) and Once-ler.  Solid work out there.  Glad to have you join us at Anvil.  Kotters to Brushback, who was a soft commit for Anvil when we chatted after church on Sunday.  Great to have you back out with the PAX.  2nd post for Schneider, who was recently an FNG at Anvil a few weeks ago.  Keep on posting.  Knight Rider was #kotters and late last week at Anvil.  Today he was on time and slayed all the work.  Welcome to Queen, who typically posts at Hydra.  He may have been a site-FNG.  Another PAX who killed the workout.  Hops took off like he was shot from a cannon on the 1st repeat and stayed near the front for all the work.  Usual guys pushing the pace today.  Alf, Thin Mint, Lorax.  Red Rocks looking fast and strong, along with Cane, Hammer, Abba, Lambo.  All pushed hard today at Anvil.  Rapid Fire Rock set audibled in at the request of Purple Haze.  He mentioned pool season.  YHC will work on some new material to keep it fresh.  These first couple of Q’s off IR included some staples.  Meat and potatoes, if you will.  Old school stuff.  Covered 2.45 per the Garmin.  Lower temp and humidity was a welcome change over the past few days.  T-claps to Hops for the takeout prayer in Ball of Man.  Keep site-Q McGee’s mother in prayers for healing.  Always a pleasure and an honor to lead the men of Anvil.

Also noteworthy: YHC and Van Pelt talked a little BBQ after BOM.  Sauceman’s BBQ at Tryon and West tops his list for Charlotte ‘Cue.  Moves to the top of my list for Charlotte eateries I need to try.

Announcements

A few quick observations:

– Walking lunges are terrible. They are even more terrible when following 20 jump squats and a sprint. Great stuff, Q.

– Thanks to the bear crawl / dry dock / derkin combo today, I can add the front of my neck to my list of new places F3 has made me sore.

– Big welcome to The Once-ler and Brilleaux and great seeing Schneider back out there. Solid work today guys and hope to see you all again soon – as a relatively new guy I can promise you it only gets better.

The front of your neck?! Hilarious. Should I be concerned that merkins, derkins, etc. are getting seemingly more difficult?
Appreciate Alf continuing the grief over my not ever seeing “The Three Amigos”, though he did offer me the DVD to watch…bring it to Ghost Runner?
Solid Q Mermaid.

The F3 brotherhood will always step in when a brother is suffering. Well done, Alf.

The Man, The Mermaid, is deceptively brutal. Soft-spoken, yet lethal. Can’t wait til next time.
Lorax and other Cameron Wood Pax; The Once-ler is talking about posting Centurion Friday. Make sure he knows where we launch from. See you then-
