12 men of Anvil arrived and successfully wound up at the new parking location at the lot closest to the building near Entrance 3 off Rea and the infamous North Face. Pax parked just south of the handicap spots. The Calvary security truck pulled up and parked amongst the pax vehicles. This will be the launch point for Anvil moving forward. T-claps to Van Pelt for posting at the old launch lot and directing the men to our new lot. Champagne gave a brief tutorial on his ascot/scarf, and proceeded to tell the men that he had ordered a few more “face shields,” that were more devious than the relatively tame design he sported today. Angry clown face or something like that. Full disclaimer clearly indicating that the participants assume all risk for participation in today’s workout given.

Strong group of men today with several seasoned F3 men among our ranks. Covered 5K total distance with quite a bit of strength work mixed in. Turkey Leg, Bout Time, Lorax among the lead group on the Campus Tour Circuit. T-claps to Runstopper for motivating the six. Van Pelt crushing it as usual and schooling the pax briefly on the utility of STAX rub for BBQ/smoking food. Icky Shuffle was moving. Paper Jam, Utah, and Thunder Road keep getting faster and stronger. Champagne and Hops grinding through at a solid clip. Strong work by all. Public service announcement: give Turkey Leg a wide berth if his previous night’s dinner includes lentils. You are welcome. Always an honor and pleasure to lead the men of Anvil.
Announcements
Be mindful of your cars men. 3 cars burglarized at the Rock on Saturday. Anvil will continue to park where we did today.
