A Week Early



A Week Early

13 men showed up.  A 14th was expected but did not post.  Lobsta Roll was listed as Anvil Q on the calendar this week.  YHC listed for next week.  Took this week instead.  Maybe Lobsta will be around next week to lead it.  Plenty of mumblechatter when the new plan was agreed upon.  “I showed up for Lobsta Roll, not Mermaid,” and the like.  Not sure what to make of the chatter.  Short disclaimer included something like, “You all know what to do.”  This elicited more chatter.  Haze was beside himself that the full monty was not provided.  VSF flying, off we went.

Mosey through the parking lots of this vast AO.  Circle up.  Proper disclaimer given.

You can see it in one of 2 ways.  Lobsta was a no show or YHC was a week early.  Either way, the workout was covered.

Champagne was HC yesterday.  He was no show today.  Suffering from a toothache.  Heal up.

Swear I saw Rachel wearing sleeves the other day at the Charlotte Marathon.  Not today.  Its gotta be real cold for him to wear anything more than t-shirt and shorts.  He was out front.  Haze asked him what his temperature range was for his outfit today.  I think they settled on 25 to 95 degrees.  Keep the clothing costs down.

Lorax was crushing it.  Kotters  to Pele.  Great to see him out at Anvil.  Hops did the pickup rounds this morning.  Speaking of Hops, he took off his winter cap in COT and rung it out.  Comments followed.  Is that Mr. Brady?  Nope, Hops overdressed a tad and all the sweat went to his head.  Truthfully never seen that much sweat come out of a hat on a mid-30’s day.  Not even close.  Van Pelt was a little grossed out by it.  Or disturbed.

Good job today Pro, as usual.

McGee won the H-R Burpee repeat.  Go figure.

TL, Thunder Road, Snuka, and Utah getting it done.

Respect to Van Pelt and Snuka.  Can’t give it in the PAX list any longer.

T-claps to Hops for the takeout prayer.

It was hot out there, as evidenced by Rachel’s attire. And I worked up a sweat, I guess I was working harder than the rest of you….
Loved Seargent Van Pelt’s military headwear.
The other R – Snuka is apparently the only one who knows how to do heels to heaven.
Look forward to hearing lobsta’s feedback on this and the other backblast McGee is posting.
