From Mermaid, not Driver

The Virgin-Q is something to be celebrated.  You don’t forget your VQ.  Mine was split with Tiger Rag at Day Zero.  I was inside of 10 F3 posts and, admittedly, not in great shape, nor ready to Q.  The job got done and I learned from it.

This was not the case this morning.  Driver was ready for his VQ, physically and mentally.  He planned a solid beatdown and executed very well.  Cadence count was strong and steady.  Sets and exercise directives were clear and concise.  Chelms had little chance to leave early.  Excellent job today Driver.  T-claps for your willingness to step up and lead a workout.  I look forward to your next one.

Driver brought his brother, RV with him.  When I introduced myself, RV said, “I’m Driver.”  Wow, that’s a little confusing, given that Driver was standing right next to me.  The real Driver corrected him and helped him remember his name is RV.  Definitely grounds for additional posts for RV.  Glad he posted to support his brother.  Better for it.  As we ran to Tartarus from the tables out front of CCHS, a lone runner was moving the opposite direction.  Driver said hello and called the young man by his name.  Chelms and others encouraged the runner to join us.  He kept at his sad clown workout, but did circle back later to ask for details on when the workout starts each Friday.  Certainly Driver will put the EH on his friend.  That’s what we do.

Carrier joined us briefly for the run and COP.  He wanted to support Driver’s VQ and collect money for turkeys.  The collection was news to me after the workout.  Gotta spread the word before the workout to solicit donations.  I am blaming Chelms.  T-claps to Carrier for supporting Driver’s VQ and then going to another workout to continue turkey collections.  #IMPACT

Notable performances: Checkpoint is a machine.  Chelms form was impeccable.  Brilleaux always attacks the workouts and pushes the pace.  Turkish Get Ups should be banned.  Icky Shuffle excelled during rounds 3 and 4 of the Descendent Repeats, as well as, AYG sprint from Tartarus to lower lot.  Chelms called him out for sandbagging.

Great morning at Centurion.  You men who chose football and the fartsack over this workout missed out.  Big time.
