Just shy of 4 months since last Q at Centurion. IR due to meniscus tear and subsequent meniscal excision surgery 4/8. Limited duty last few weeks. Rolled the dice with this workout. Kept thinking, if you can’t do it, don’t Q it. Options exercised. YHC went to level 4 for only 1 of the 5 Trip Nick reps. Last four to level 3. Felt great to get back out on Q. IR is a hard place to be forced to be. Many PAX reached out with well wishes and to check on YHC. Much appreciated. Remember not to let your IR brothers go through the #sifter when they cannot post.
PAX crushed this workout. Thin Mint was out front on the Triple Nickel. He is also off recent IR. Looking strong. Checkpoint was right there with him #freakofnature. Strong. Hannibal can bear crawl faster than some guys run. Kind of like Dear Abby. Marconi, Lorax, and Gerber near the front on all work. Jambo, Hops, Chelms, Margo steadily crushed the sets. Utah, Cane, Voodoo, Udder, Thunder Road, Pulp Fiction, Wolfman, Lambo, Snowflake, all pushing it hard today. Kotters to Fire Hazard, another PAX coming off IR. Strong work today as always. Kotters also to Rapper’s Delight. 18 years old and questioned hard upon arrival. Dude got it done. Great to see Voodoo who killed it after battling the crud for a week. Garmin had us at 2.77.
Thankful for F3 and the opportunity to lead this fine group of men. Centurion is a great AO. T-claps to Chelms and Margo for the site-Q leadership. Well done men. Several prayer requests voiced in BOM. YHC took us out in prayer.
