23 Pax came out to see if a Clydesdale could actually run a Gazelle style workout. Much to the amazement of the pax and the Q himself, we all finished without a single incident. Though there was plenty of mumble chatter and grumbling as usual. I heard the usual call out from Frack – something about Yoga. That was the last time I heard from him and the rest of the pax as we were all huffing pretty hard after that. I will be crawling back into my cave for some hibernation and recovery as well.
We welcomed some new faces – FNG Fat Man; and some old faces – Turtle. Both Posse and Bottle Cap represented the ACC well last night with convincing wins and showed up to brag about them.

MOLE SKIN
Another great group of guys today. Thanks to Foundation for asking me to lead even after I asked “are you sure, I’m already teaching Friday and Thursday?”.
I set out to prove some folks wrong today – most notably myself. I wanted to see if I could not only complete a Gazelle style workout, but lead one. My apologies to my fellow Clydesdales, I will return back to regular form following up the rear again soon.
Bottle Cap EH’ed a new FNG out. Welcome to Fat Man who gets his name both because his last name is Marvel, and his business competes with FatMan plumbing.
Welcome back out to Turtle. We didn’t get a chance to meet, but it sounds like you have lots of dirt on some of these guys (or maybe its the other way around?) so hopefully you will be back out to share some of that wisdom.
Posse made it out even though he was sick. It was apparent that he was under the weather from the start, though originally I just thought he was up late celebrating the Clemson blow out of Auburn (ACC! ACC!). I myself was celebrating as well – an early exit for UNC.
Speaking of UNC – I somehow managed to lead a workout with both Carolina Dry Docks and Heels to Heaven in the same workout. My Wolfpack brethren would be so ashamed. I will do better next time.
Frack started out the partner push strong so I had to lock down and make him work. He stopped at the first light and then realized he was only half way. The final push was pretty weak. I may have actually wore down the infamous Frack. I will pause for his rebuttal that will most likely be filled with insults challenging my manhood and will leave me speechless and shocked.
