The Anvil Mile

The Anvil Mile

17 men, including YHC, sweated through our greetings in the launch lot for a few minutes.  Even the disclaimer made YHC sweat.  It was given and we took off.

Thang

My brother, Slow Roll, has come to A51 from Mountain Island a few times.  6/8 Centurion and this morning.  YHC on Q for both.  He called both times.  6/8 it was 4:52, 3 minutes before my phone alarm.  Good thing.  YHC failed to set said phone alarm and would have slept right through it.  Never done that before.  Today, call comes in at 5:12.  Must have turned the alarm off at 4:55, rather than the snooze.  Would have slept through today as well.  Thanks, brother.  Glad to have you out with us and keep up the strong work.

Anvil Mile was actually the loop we ran for the Sixfold Challenge a ways back for Fast Twitch.  6 x 1.1 miles with the exercises in 60 minutes.  If memory serves, 4 of the 20 or so did all 6.  We cut off about 1/10 mile to make it pretty close to a mile.

Honorable Mentions: Haze’s beard because he must have been 10 degrees hotter than the rest of us with that.

Strong work by all the PAX to push through that workout.  Conditions were absolutely brutal.

Kotters to Cottonmouth.  Been a long time since YHC has seen him.  And a Respect now.  Strong work out there.

Other Respects, Shoe and Snuka, pushing hard out there as usual.  Hammer crushed it until he had to be the first out.  Semi joined us, always good to see him.

Gummy started the mumblechatter out of the gate, commenting on the pace of the mosey.  Glad he did, YHC has a problem with starting fast.  Last Fast Twitch Q it hit YHC hard on the back end.

I think at least 25% of our PAX today are CPA’s.  Not sure where to go with that one.  Helpful should audit services be needed.

Always a pleasure to lead the Anvil PAX.  Well done today men.
