12 of South Charlotte’s finest and Semi-Gloss mustered in a rainy parking lot halfway between HT and Dunkin this morning. What a treat to walk outside to 45 and rainy. Wardrobe selection was a little tricky – gloves? sleeves? layers? ball cap? Semi went full tights. I adjusted my weinke to account for the soaked ground, and off we went. It’s cute how we dodge puddles at the beginning of a rainy workout.

Hopper – Right before the workout started, he said he was going to buy me a donut after and then ran to his car as soon as I said, “Amen” in COT. I still got a donut. Boston Kreme.
Semi-Gloss – Looked like Big Bird out there with the matching yellow shirt and toboggan.
Sweater Set – Veteran move by me to outsource Mary – everybody gets a turn to lead an exercise. Sweater Set was ready with “ROSALITA!” when I called on him, but then had to ask exactly what Rosalita was. There are no dumb questions.
Marge – Living up to the “fastest-guys-get-girls’-names” rule. He was out front with Slingshot on the road hump suicides.
Puddin’ Pop – Hates the road hump suicides that I like to pull out at Hydra and now Hawks Nest. I think he and Clover just sat down and had coffee while the rest of us ran back and forth.
Clover – Used his turn during Mary to filibuster, trying to run out the clock with a 1-minute plank.
Deep Dish – The hair is really something. He wants so bad to be like Trevor Lawrence.
Snowflake – Declined to run in from his house this morning due to bad weather, sandbagged a little on the suicides, then threw down the hammer for the AYG back to HT.
Motorboat – Really strong sock game. He looked like Larry Bird out there – thankfully his shorts were longer.
Slingshot – Made the commute over from Hydra and dominated with Marge. Why don’t the rest of Sprocket’s band of merry men make the extra half-mile trip down to Hawks Nest?
Geraldo – Tried to go crazy during Mary when it was his turn to call an exercise. I issued a verbal warning when he blew past 15 then just took away the keys when he kept going at 20.
Jet Fuel – Was giving reeeealy weak effort on the backwards runs up that hill. We had to do an extra rep to let him redeem himself. Nick would not like that effort.
