• None, we ran out of time.

Moleskinny:

• The temps were finally at a respectable level this morning, like no humidity and in the 60s, just perfect.
• Welcome FNG Picabo (John) he’s new to Charlotte and was EH’d by Hops. He’s a pilot for American Airlines, but enjoys skiing, and somehow we wound up at Picabo (Street). I think it was Puddin’ Pop who came up with his name, of course.
• After the Iron Pax Challenge yesterday, YHC had no appetite for merkins, so there were only a few on the menu, you’re welcome.
• YHC fumbled the execution the hill work by only completing 1 rep at the top of the hill, Horsehead properly called me out for it, and I added the missed reps to the next round. I think I may have confused Boondock though. That Boondock is fast by the way.
• Somehow we started talking about Karate Kid, Parts 1, 2, and 3, the Cobra Kai series, Elizabeth Shue, Leaving Las Vegas which can owe to our resident trivia king Puddin’ Pop. There we have title.
• 49er brought his “A” game and was out front during the rock themed Beast.
• Mermaid and Lorax seemed to be catching up on things during the Beast.
• Lorax dm’d me last night to make sure I was still onboard to Q and that depending on his tax work, he’d be there. Fortunately he made his filing deadline and was able to join us.
• Hops actually did a few Side Straddle Hops for the FNG.
• Puddin’ Pop modified as necessary, which is expected.
• Snowflake was expecting an FNG this morning but he wasn’t able to make it, maybe next time. Snowflake ran in of course.
• Runstopper couldn’t stick around much after the workout because he had to walk the dog.
• Prayers for Fallout and his family as his son is undergoing brain surgery today.
• Thanks to Lorax and Point Break for the opportunity to lead and please sound off with any mumble chatter.
