Ye Olde Moleskine:

Perfect number showed for this morning’s downpainment at Anvil.  13 is YHC’s favorite number.  Appreciate Scabby & Bout Time letting me team up with them on NF….also appreciate that they’re both great runners so YHC didn’t have to do as many burpees, squat jumps & CDDs.

Speaking of CDDs…apparently YHC has been doing those wrong for 3 1/2 years.  Champagne, aka Chief of the Form-Police Squad, called me on it.  When he got to the base of NF and saw YHC doing what I thought were CDDs, he asked, “What are you doing Hops?”  To which I, of course, replied: “CDDs”.  He said, “No you’re not.  Your legs should be straight.”  Never too old to learn a new trick…or do the trick correctly….or have a fellow pax call you out on bad form.  #accountability

Moving on.  During the work on the lane with high knees & buttkickers heading towards the pitch, Alf mumblechattered something akin to “Nothing like warming up 20 minutes into the workout.” A workout is not a workout without the Q catching some grief.

Speaking of grief…the Jacob’s Ladder incorporating backwards uphill bear crawls was brutal.  I say this not as a braggadocios Q but because even Lobster Roll appeared to be hurting.  So either it was, indeed, a grievous call by YHC…or Lobster Roll was sick or injured or both.  Definitely some modification going on that one though YHC saw no modification from Ickey on the hill – nice work brother.

Must be noted that Mermaid, site Q for Anvil (who’s the other site Q?), stopped as we made our way to the base of NF to do some maintenance work on the rockbed leading to the pond.  #conscientioussiteq  Can’t teach that stuff gents….

Fairly young crowd this morning.  Van Pelt as WD (respect) and only 4 other “non-hates” in the pax.  Glad Van Pelt & Champagne posted…..lest YHC would have been the least-hated…or something like that.

Anyway, it was an honor to Q the pax as it always is.  Thankful to be among you men this morning in the gloom.
