Back in the Game



Back in the Game

14 men arrived by 0530 for the designated start time.  Hops pulled in just in time for a few to sign waivers, so disclaimer was given next to his truck while the back office work was done.  2 men, Chelms and Shoe, arrived well into the workout, but found us nonetheless.  Glad they did.  16 total.

COT

Moleskin

Was DR for Spring Break with the family last week.  Last F3 post was 03/28/2018.  11 days off F3.  Last Q was 02/02/2018.  Longest time between Q’s since my VQ 08/24/2013 and my second Q 10/01/2013.  Good to be back out and even better to lead a workout.

Doc was out front on the long sets.  Busch right behind him.  Chelms was near the front on the 2nd Tripel Nickel, but, not surprisingly, he left early.  Not to mention, he and Shoe missed all of COP and 4 reps of the first Triple Nickel.  Again, glad they made it.  Site FNG’s.  Margo another site FNG.  High Tide and Puddin Pop may have been as well.

Speaking of Puddin Pop, he took a straight up tumble on the mosey back to launch lot.  It was loud and worrisome, but he is a tough man and got up immediately to complete the workout.  He skinned a knee pretty good, but only a superficial injury.  Glad for that.  Thanks for coming out to check out the workout.  Always good to have new guys post.  Schmedium and HIPAA posting HN regularly.  Nice, keep it up.  Shoe, Wild Turkey, and Geraldo pushing hard on all work today.  Aside from the hard work he put in, Hops also got the back office stuff done as well.  Thanks for that.  #waivers

Bananas and Busch, both now regulars, throw down some serious #mumblechatter.  Good to see the fellowship and enjoyment the guys get by being out there and getting work done with the group.

2.5 miles, 50 Burpees, hills, stairs, mary, etc

Thanks for the opportunity to lead at Hawks Nest.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.  Good work out there men.

YHC took us out.

Shoe follows directions worse than my wife. Pop Tart deserves some extra love after running thru a wall yet you left his name out from PAX list at the top (15 at time of audit – realize you may edit later). I like to think I anticipated the start rather than left early. You had given clear directions – why wait around.

Chelms – you’re on to something – Puddin’ Pop Tart. Sounds like a treat, but there’s already a chocolate filled pop tart on the market. What other names could we combine. Wild Turkey Pop Tart – just not at breakfast!

Great Q Mermaid. Forgotten how dangerous it can be running the streets of Raintree in all black with the working men & women heading to work at 5:45am.

By the way, we did a lot more than 50 burpees today…at least 80 by my very unaudited, unofficial count….of course Bananas, Puddin’, Geraldo and others did far fewer than 50.

Speaking of Puddin’ – sorry for the spill brother. You did blame me at COT as I took the shortcut but avoided the brick wall and you tried to follow…don’t always do what the Site Q’s do! Glad you signed the waiver. The late Respect’s, however, did not sign the waivers. Next time, lest you get lost on campus or something….

Wild Puddin Pop Fart?

The only burpees I did were the pre-merkins descent to the ground and then getting back up after merkins. Still probably doesn’t equal one. If I work too hard I can’t talk the whole time and that defeats the purpose.

I’m with ‘naners, only I #mumblechatter less (I think). Burpees are no bueno, so I subbed merkins and squats, which are more to my liking.
Apologies for skipping all Mary, but she aggravates my abdominal/groinal strain. (it’s so bad, I can’t even do TGUs!)
Second post to the Nest, but I’ll take a welcoming call out in the BB anytime I can get it.
