Rain…Please, Rain

Rain…Please, Rain

Haze told Snowflake it felt like YHC was on Q every other week at Anvil.  Actually been just shy of 4 months since last Q 01/17/2018.  McGee asked for a good disclaimer, YHC obliged, or at least tried.  Bugeater clown car pulled in at 0530 as we were beginning our mosey.  Perfectly timed arrival.  Off we went.

Took YHC a moment to figure out what the beeping noise was at 0458.  Sleep was that good last night.  Doubled down with Hawk’s Nest and an evening Ruck during my daughter’s swim practice.  Both at Latin.  Made for a good night’s sleep.  Shook off the cobwebs and rolled out to Anvil.  So did another 19 men.

Purell, Rachel, and McGee were out front on the long Main Event set.  McGee faded slightly, but still a strong effort.  Brilleaux was moving, along with Runstopper.  Ickey Shuffle did zero (0) Burpees.  Dude is taking his Burpee Free May seriously.  Protip: you can’t believe everything you read on the inner webs.  BFM is a load of garbage.

Haze offered some form critique on the Rosalitas.  YHC called for them at 45 degrees.  Haze swears they must be done at 90.  Q has discretion in these matters.  Modify as necessary.  Champagne was quiet on the form today and pushing hard, like the rest of our crew.  Mickey had on his brown leather boots.  Those things made my feet, ankles, knees, and even toes hurt each time I saw them.  Strong work from Mickey today.  Kotters to Deep Dish.  Glad to see him out at Anvil.  T-claps to Snowflake for run in/run out.  Margo texted last night asking if he should expect to get wet.  With the rain and all, there was a chance, but it held off.  Would have been real nice for some rain at about round 4 of the Main Event.  71 and 94% humidity makes for some sweat and general discomfort when spending time in the pain cave.  But hey, that’s why we get out of bed and do this, right?  Well done by all the men today.  A pleasure to lead the group at Anvil.
