Alex is from Greenville, NC, attended NC State, works for Hanes, interested in supply chain\/logistics, favorite cereal (which he doesn\u2019t eat) is Cheerios, played double-bass in orchestra, favorite color is red.\u00a0 Bagpipe did a great job gathering intel on our FNG during the workout.\u00a0 Ideas discussed were DHL, Briefs, Fruit of the Loom, and Pocket Fly.\u00a0 When Alex was asked where he went to high school in COT, he quickly, but unwisely, responded with DH Conley.\u00a0 Conley\u2019s in-town rival was Greenville Rose.\u00a0 So, Rose won the day.\u00a0 Welcome, Rose!<\/li>\n<li>Dips while your partner ran was a bridge too far.\u00a0 #Pain.<\/li>\n<li>YHC was partnered up with the aforementioned Zephyr who was making mincemeat of the exercises in each round. During the running portion, Brown Bag was continually pouring it on, making YHC run faster than desired.\u00a0 #ISI.<\/li>\n<li>Both Zephyr and Brown Bag recently returned from trips to Europe. One was in Italy and one was in Scandinavia.\u00a0 Neither showed signs of jet lag.<\/li>\n<li>Bagpipe showed up as we were moving to the amphitheater from the parking lot. Most people are either morning people or night owls.\u00a0 Bagpipe is both.\u00a0 Dude just dominates.<\/li>\n<li>Glad to have Spicoli join us, and it was the second beatdown the two of us shared together this week. He\u2019s such an encouragement to me and others.<\/li>\n<li>Rust Bucket often flies under the radar, perhaps due to his here two months, gone to New York two months routine, but our double-respect is a monster. He related to us that F3 workouts are sparse in the Yankee-land and that he once drove an hour to a workout that only he posted to.\u00a0 Sounds like he\u2019s applying for one of the coveted unpaid F3 employee positions as a region planter.<\/li>\n<li>Both Wobegon and YHC had hopes that our 2.0s would join the fun tonight, but both declined. Alas, there\u2019s always next week.\u00a0 Wobegon is running again after taking a bad step a couple of weeks ago, much to the relief of his Ragnar team.<\/li>\n<li>Frostbite was spicy tonight, first during the workout when the Q demanded that he not do the runs due to his ongoing foot issues and then during COT when he was very impatient to get through the important tangents the pax journeyed down. Maybe it was missing his M off traveling, maybe it was the impending handoff of the keys to High Life.<\/li>\n<li>Which brings us to Hot Dish! He is taking the keys of the High Life from Nantan next week after consistently posting for a year.\u00a0 Looking for a big turnout for the transition!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thanks, Frosty, for the keys.\u00a0 It\u2019s always great to exercise in my back yard.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Late afternoon summer heat and humidity greeted the ten of us who gathered for High Life, including our FNG, Rose!
