Today we honored the Royal Wedding… the happy couple (Jaws & Bob Ross) celebrated the sacrament of pain, witnesses only by the creepy Hopewell janitor, and arose with spirits refreshed in the holy sweat-water of Charlotte’s insufferable late-spring humidity.

Pain Station 2: run to the rocks, rock lunge (I got distracted by Bob Ross’s comment that North Charleston is nicknamed “North Chuck” and those probably lasted at least 2 minutes longer than intended), Rock Twist (Mason Twist with rock) x 20, Rock Squats x 30 (3×10 in different foot positions).

Moleskine:
- That thing about the Royal Wedding? This workout had absolutely nothing to do with the Royal Wedding. And there were no free donuts. Q is a dirty liar.
- Light participation day. I saw the writing on the wall though… sometimes that’s just the way it goes with a monsoon the night before, several regulars with work / travel commitments, injuries / guys coming off the heavy, and Bonesaw season kicking into gear. Whatever, beatdowns have no minimum attendance requirement.
- Bob Ross five-year anniversary Q on Wednesday morning at Mad Scientist. DO IT. I keep forgetting Bob Ross has been doing F3 this long… he hasn't been in Isotope / LKN super-long, but started with Raleigh long before many of us. Quite the F3 connoisseur.
- North Chuck… hahaha.
- Next week we’re converged to Memorial Day Murph. Details to follow via Twitter. Probably gonna do the five-miler the week after (first Monday in June).
