Moleskinny:

  • It was great to be back and Peak 51, always feels like home when I have a chance to to Q here. I don’t frequent this AO as often as I used to, but it’s great to come back.
  • The #Weinke was simple, head back to the original Peak 51 AO, get some running and exercises in. Approximately 2.5 miles covered, great job everyone.
  • Horsehead rolled in for the bootcamp option this morning, not looking at all sorry for missing out on Sparta.
  • The temperature was perfect, and not drop coming down from the sky, which is par for the course for Slim Fast
  • Thanks to Horsehead for reminding me about the six as YHC had a little Q juice and picked up the pace leaving the AO. I got a bit caught up with chatting with Smokey #Cobains
  • YHC really hadn’t seen Sensei in some time and quickly noticed that he shed his COVID beard and he looks about 15 years younger.
  • Sorry to hear Lois is on the IR after coming in contact with a branch or puddle last week at Mountain Goat last week. Tweetsie said he thought Lois broke a bone or something, but he shook it off and like the Ol’ Ball Coach, sucked it up and was out coaching on the field later that day. Heal up and see you soon Lois.
  • Glad to hear that Smokey’s church has found a home for the colder weather rather than in his backyard. It goes to show you, God will provide.
  • Good to see Kilowatt and Pele grinding it out, keep up the good work.
  • Beaver posted after only have 2 good hours of sleep the night before and he was pushing it out there.
  • Slim Fast reacquired his SUV from his daughter, the vehicle is 20 years old, almost as old as Southpaw. That’s getting your monies worth out of vehicle.
  • YHC was hesitant like a squirrel, Double E’s words, crossing John St on our way back to launch. Slim Fast and Sensei took the initiative and took off.
  • TCLAPS to Slim Fast, Sensei, and Tweetsie for the Slim Fast 5K pre-run.
  • As I was leaving, I spotted Double E heading out from some extra credit miles.
  • Thanks to Smokey for taking us out.
  • Thanks to Sensei and Lois for the opportunity to lead and please sound off with any mumble chatter.

Announcements:

  • The Area 51 Board met with the SOB and Waxhaw boards last week and one of the things that came up in our different breakout groups was backblasts. They used to be an automatic in when I first started F3 years ago, but have become a rarity. The backblast is one of the best ways to keep the pax engaged and should be completed by the workout Q the same day. The site Q should ensure a backblast is completed, and if the workout Q doesn’t doe it, then they should write one up.
  • Smokey and his board of pain is on deck for next week.
