Moleskin:

Q failure on the timing, was able to get in a bit more pain this morning.  A lot of the reps are somehow adding up to 40, either directly or via cadence x 2, not sure why this was but just seemed to end up that way.  Very strong effort by the pax today, I can see how Lobster Roll got his name, seriously fast on the crab walk and bear crawls (DK better watch out for some real competition here).  Salt Lick had to put up with YHC as a partner, garnering leads on almost all movements to have them not only lost but to have YHC finish last, that’s why we do these things, they’re tough which makes us strong, very good partner efforts today with strong encouragement amongst teams.  Partner sit up rock pass seemed to be a crowd pleaser.  Spackler, despite at the end declaring he would be last at #F3Nomad on Sunday was a blaze of speed on the Indian Runs, well done, even gutting out the bear crawl despite a tweaked back, don’t make it worse brother, want to see you in the gloom.  Abacus was pretty strong all around, hadn’t seen you in a while (problem of Area 51 getting so large!), always good to connect.  When YHC Q’s and Stone Cold posts, the goal is to make the workout hard enough so that he breaks a sweat, unfortunately today it was full on raining by the end so will just have to imagine that at least one bead of the water was sweat, always great to post with you brother.

Oh yeah, the reference to 40 above, YHC turned 40 this morning, great to Q on your birthday.

Great send off by Stone Cold, always good to be reminded of our larger responsibilities and how what we do represents our faith in all situations.
