  • EC for the guys that ran to/from the workout: Germanator, Ryan, Q. 
  • Awesome to have Sweet Baby Ray and Ryan join the workout this morning. Both in great shape and crushed it. SBR talking about dead lifting > 400 pounds for several reps at his crossfit shop. Ryan’s a soccer coach and running an adult soccer league and was talking about putting some miles in last night on the treadmill….solid. These boys brought the avg age of the Pax down a few years.
  • Kicked around a few ideas for Stephen’s F3 name. Came down to two: Daddy Long Legs and Sweet Baby Ray. Both got positive feedback and votes, but SBR won the day. DDL came from Stephen’s height and extraordinary length of his arms and legs.
  • Grip with the advance notice RSVP. Take that as a sign for his love of Cobalt Thursday.
  • Surf back from the northeast. Sounds like positive client interactions and some good eating up there. Glad to have you back out.
  • Mary Jane made a strong presence during our set in the boat launch parking lot. Think we all caught a contact buzz for some wake and bake this morning. Will leave it at that and likely will be a discussion point for future workouts. 
  • The Germantor was ready to rock in some winter gear. Grip got on him right away….given Grip doesn’t seem to feel the cold. Germanator took us out – well said man, thanks.
  • Solid work fellas. Appreciate the opportunity to lead.
