Notes

Peppermint did a solid job out there today for his VQ. He’s only been posting at F3 workouts since early August, though it is obvious he’s been doing some sort of exercise before that. This moleskin will not be used (entirely) to critique Peppermint’s first Q, save for the mention that the pre-workout disclaimer was a bit brief for my taste. Thanks for leading Peppermint! Looks like you enjoyed the leadership adrenaline.

Good effort from all 8 today in what turned out to be a pretty decent all around beating for the legs, core and shoulders. Kirby pushed hard today and was the first to notice that the merkin count for the day sort of crept up on us, Tuck and Firehazard were moving pretty fast out there today (despite all the MAFing Tuck has been doing. #itsjustslowrunning), heckling each other every step of the way. YHC was disappointed to find out that FireHazard’s nickname has nothing to do with repressed arsonist tendencies. Mario was fast again today, even after pooing posting at swift for miles yesterday. He only sandbagged on one sprint (probably a group best). Wild Turkey showed the utmost respect for the Q, which is truly honorable. Even following Peppermint in a pirouette over the wire road black. Every Q wants to have WT in the PAX, he’s always setting the example for how to post: low mumblechatter, dogged obedience to the Q, give it all you got with no complaining. #tclaps Turkey ! Mighty Mite still posted despite the sad gearlessness of FatCamp today. He’s a bear.

YHC almost succeeded in putting all the young guns down by secretly planting fire ant mounds strategically in the fence sections that they’d be laying in during Windshield Wipers(somehow YHC knew before hand). Either there were ants there (and people walking in the field), or not. Perhaps Peppermint and Mario just like to take their shirts off together (and Elon park is haunted in October).

Thanks for coming out to support Peppermint’s first of many future leads.

Argonaut Out.
