Moleskins:
1. Firestone really seemed to love this WO – only one to get to corner 3B.
2. Friday decided to swing the 50 pounder again – not a good idea to trade with him.
3. Over Budget supporting the new 45 pounder and the best comment of the morning: “Oh, we only have 15 reps this round? Sweet!”
4. Dallas and Etch-A-Sketch still arguing about who shows up to the Blender. Over the past five weeks I believe Etch has the most points.
5. Bunyan tried to lobby for a new name for the Q, but it didn’t hold – thankfully.
6. As Bogey noted, the breeze just before the start was really nice, but somehow it died instantly at 5:30am. Then the air quality got really interesting with an apparent burning tire from route 77.
7. Nice to see Packer back at the Blender. Just realized Big Perm moved – hope all is well in Asheville.
8. The plan was to include the standard burpee, but once YHC noticed that Dallas arrived the hand-release burpee innovation was developed.
9. Iron City noted the need to take about 5 showers after this one – YHC will likely need 6.
10. It was an honor to lead this morning. Solid effort by all.
