NMM:

Not sure what happened here, but YHC has been troubled since the conclusion of the workout.  Time seemed to fly by, and we were only able to complete 3 full circuits.  Jack Webbs and Captain Thors seemed to have their intended effect, but the inverted shoulder presses x 10 was a bridge too far for the majority of pax, Q included.  Is this what Zima felt like after last week’s Flatline?

Speaking of Captain DashPax, he looked strong as usual this morning.  He also has a very useful comeback to the “You vs. You” challenge:  “I hate that guy.”  Hate is such a strong word, but it can be a powerful motivator; powerful enough to power through the inverted shoulder presses.

Spamalot and Mutton quietly set the example for the other students by complying with all called exercises without MC.  Spam, using his Nantan veto, objected to WMD burpees post-6:15.

Today was the first day that YHC has heard Tar Heel utter his F3 name.  It sounds good to YHC’s ears.  Tar Heel reminds YHC of Huckleberry with how effortless the workout seems for him.  He was up and down the hills like a feather.

Van Pelt, Lamb Chop and The H.O.G. were out front all morning.  The H.O.G. said that the workout was not as bad as he expected.  YHC texted site Q Burns as soon as possible to reserve another Q in order to rectify The H.O.G.’s subpar customer experience.  Wonder when WIB was last held on Robinhood Road or Pilot View?

YHC had the pleasure of being in Dr. Toot’s company for the majority of the morning.  YHC noted that, aside from Captain DashPax, Dr. Toot navigated the inverted shoulders easier than anyone.  Man is a cyborg.

Burns is becoming a runner.  YHC noted a strong RIRO from the site Q in addition to his easy handling of the exercises.

$5 Footlong.  Dude was strong throughout; what’s stronger is that he then led a subsequent pseudo-WIB with B.O.M.B.s at his workplace, Collins Aerospace, attracting four FNGs.  TCLAPS!

Palin complained that we were going to leave the nice & flat Food Lion parking lot.  That goes to show that he often speaks just to fill the silence as he had no problem with the hills today.

YHC took us out with thanks for our fellowship together and petition to help us love others as we love ourselves.
