Blue Tiger, NOT Blue Rhino

20 men joined YHC in the launch lot between First Baptist and Matthews Elementary, ready to do some work.  One man was an FNG, another for second F3 post, and, yet another, for 3rd F3 post.  Thorough disclaimer and encouragement for hard work given and off we went.

Thanks to Sensei for the invite to Q Peak 51.  This was YHC’s first visit to this AO for a workout.  Great AO with many options.  Problem with Thursday is YHC gets FIA’d.  Had to negotiate for this one.  M settled for a Wednesday-Thursday trade.  It worked out.  Awesome to see some guys that I don’t see often on the other side of A51.  Also awesome to meet some newer guys and our FNG. This is where the backblast title originates.  We named him Blue Tiger, but YHC called him Blue Rhino in the count tweet.  My bad.  A51 already has a Blue Rhino.  T-claps to the many PAX who reached out to make sure YHC was aware.  Anyways, Blue Tiger attended LSU for undergrad and Carolina for grad school.  Dumpster Fire spit out Blue Tiger and the deal was done.

The whole group crushed it today.  FNG Blue Tiger, #2 post Tulip, #3 post Jello pushed hard.  Smokey is a fast dude.  He was out front on the Triple Nickel.  We all stayed together and pushed through the humidity.  Really enjoyed getting out with this group at Peak 51.  Apologies for the Chillcuts in the parking lot.  Not a good idea at all.  T-claps to Smokey for the solid takeout.
