Purple Haze for the Trifecta

Purple Haze for the Trifecta

YHC woke up at 0501, not to the sound of the iphone alarm, but to the meet the call of the bladder.  Brief look at the phone and noticed that the alarm was not set.  Couple of buttons later and all good.  Damn near missed Q #3 in as many days.  That would have been a shame.  Post at Chik-fil-A and joined by a strong group of 6 men on a beautiful Saturday morning.  Veteran crew given a brief disclaimer that Haze called weak.  They all can’t be great.  Off we go.

Mosey around the back of CFA and across Ardrey Kell and onto the short greenway trail by the pond.  Through the woods and left onto Bullock Greenway Blvd.  Left on Blakeney Greens.  Cross Rea and continue into Blakney shopping center.  Circle up in HT parking lot.

As noted in a previous backblast, Fredo threw out the challenge to post all 3 of YHC’s consecutive Q’s.  Also previously noted, he did not post Rebel Yell due to puppy problems.  He hit the other 2 though.

One man posted all 3 besides YHC.  T-claps to Purple Haze.  Crushed all 3 workouts.  Well done.  T-claps for the takeout as well.  Several men posted 2.

Crew at da’Vinci today pushed through a hot workout.  Strong work by all.  Paper Jam needs to sign up for Ragnar or BRR or both.  He is a runner.

Thanks to Fredo for the invite to Q da’Vinci.  Solid AO with plenty of options.  If you have not been out, get it on your calendar and check it out.

YHC posted 5 days in a row this week for the first time.  Legs are a bit sore, but overall, I feel awesome.  Got to see a bunch of guys I hadn’t seen in a while, put in work, and post the Stand on Friday for a great discussion on Ephesians.  Solid week for sure.

T-claps to the men of A51 and SOB for your leadership.  Without the efforts of many, this great F3 thing we have in South Charlotte does not happen.

Also of note: Now I have a taste of how Jrr Tolkien does it.  Tireless Q’s with SFN chairs in different regions, races, Pre-blasts, backblasts, and, of course, continuous social media marketing.  Well done Tolkien.
