Great work by all.  Welcome Fish Taco and Bam Bam.  Joker is officially back to peak form crushing the PAX in the 800 meter.  Dennis The Menace at 10 yrs old hung with the pack the whole workout, well done.  Welcome back Turkey Leg from injury, looks like you havent skipped a beat.  Lobster Roll wore shorts for the first time in F3 history because his wife didnt wash his pants, sorry man, break em out next week.  Found the ROCK’s baby brother near the track and the PAX made good work hurdling it.  Speaking of the track: Donkey Kong should know that we have weeds growing in the cracks of our track and the paint is faded but we loved every minute of it.  #A51dirtytrack4life.  Glad to share the morning with some good men.

Moleskin:

No doubt that the Tickler stole the show with his wife’s jazzercize tights.  These mantyhose would have been perectly acceptable had he been wearing shorts over them.  But he wasn’t. Tickler’s surgical gloves left the PAX with more questions but I think they felt some were better left unanswered.  Hats off Tickler!  Wardrobe well done.  Other notables: FNG Thomas Fennel (Jordache) worked out in a pair of vintage Jordache jeans and managed to keep them grass stain free, wouldn’t you?  Those things are  collector items.  Welcome, Jordache, hope to see you back soon brother!  Cotton Tail tortured the ring of fire with his high knees and butt kicks as he slow trotted around, Nicely done.  Overall, lots of chatter from the group, probably everyone trying to keep their faces from freezing.  Great job Crabcake on his second Q – the downPAINments were well received.

Great showing by all today despite the frigid start.  Thin Crust refused defeat in the indian run rotations, strong work brother.  Coffeteria was well represented with guest appearences by Zipadee and Joker.  Lots of talk about the USNWC convergence and today’s workout was a good step in our preperation.
