Great workout today with 16 brave men on a balmy morning of 25 degrees. To be honest, since this was my first Q I was hoping I’d have a nice small crew of 3 usual suspects like Lorax, Mermaid, and Purple Haze so it wouldn’t be too much pressure. No such luck, we had 16 show (with 2 FNGs too).

Lorax led Mary I was too tired to remember what he did except for boxcutters – I won’t soon forget those things.
Moleskin:
It must have been interesting for Mayhem and Valdez to have a VQ the first time out but everyone stuck it out just fine. Started out rocky because the counting is harder than I thought it was going to be. I settled down once Mermaid provided some “constructive criticism” and straightened me out.
Special thanks Lorax for bailing me out for the last 3 minutes since I was too gassed by my own workout and finished later than at least half of you. Both Lorax and Champagne provided some good coaching this past week… were they worried since I hadn’t been around in several weeks?
Is it me or is it extra disheartening when Scabby passes you with his fast run when you’re struggling to get to the next station? Mermaid was rockin it too but maybe so he could leave early.
Thought FNG Valdez was doing great for his first time until I found out he was 24 and a college tennis player… now I think he was sandbagging. FNG Mayhem showed up super early (5:15) and was ready to go on his first day – good stuff there too.
Does anyone know if there’s something special I need to do for the 2 FNGs?
