  • YHC has Q on the home court of the Outhouse on Monday; 0512 EC run with bootcamp launch at 0530.
  • Tuna 200 October 25-26. Team ‘The Expendables’ have six but need more.  The entire race is downhill.  There is beer and tuna at the end.  Don’t waste this opportunity and get on board.
  • 2nd F Coffeeteria every Saturday at 8:15 at Chick-Fil-A on Robinhood Road. Great opportunity to meet pax from all over the region.

Prayer Requests:

  • Drip’s M has a colleague who suffered a stroke. Colleague is very fit but having some problems with hand / arm functions.
  • Praise that Blue Steel’s wife and children are successfully nearing the end of the citizenship process. Also pray that an opportunity in the sustainability field would arise for Blue Steel.
  • Those suffering with addictions of all sorts.

NMM:

  • Great working out with Blossom for the first time this morning. Dude is very fit.  Also great to see Schnitzel out following rumors of his impending arrival for the past couple of months.
  • YHC is convinced that Buyout is related to Cheesesteak and Snooki. He modifies called exercises to make them more challenging.
  • Drip and Mutton came from the same line of cyborgs as Dr. Toot and the dearly missed Thistle (at least to YHC; not sure if that is a consensus feeling, although the former three are much quieter cyborgs than Thistle). YHC heard rumors of Drip’s 100 burpee beatdown over 45 minutes at UA on Friday and has experienced a Burpee Benjamin at the hands of Mutton on multiple times; YHC was curious how it would feel to lead a workout with 100 burpees.  Answer:  It sucks, even with an extra 15 minutes.
  • Ziggy Stardust is recovering from being a chest cold exacerbated by six months in the Swamp, but you couldn’t tell it as he was in the mix all morning.
  • Lamb Chop proclaimed this the longest F3 workout ever. #Free15minutes?
  • YHC bailed early (circa 4:38 am, per text message) on Friday’s run with Palin due to a summer cold. Palin called YHC on said bail in corner three of four corners and implied that perhaps YHC had fartsacked rather than smartsacked.  #FakeF3News.  Palin was his usual calm self; workouts now seem to be nothing more than relaxing on a float in the pool for the man with the best vehicle in the DashPax.
  • Bow Staff and Blue Steel cruised through today’s workout, and YHC is close to giving up on providing The H.O.G. with something close to challenging his fitness. YHC is thinking of a bouldering workout at Linville Gorge may be the next step for these three.
  • For the record, the Vig’s barony does not include the bottom of Pilot View/West End. YHC deposited the Tabata coupon there thinking the Vig would not mind only to later be edumacated that the Vig’s house is a little farther down.  Fortunately, the neighboring duke and family did not appear to be have awakened and taken notice of the peasant trash.

Thanks for the keys, Drip.  I left them on Pilot View & Carolina when we had to rush home.
