…emerged a newly repaired, fully functional Mailman. And just like that, all seemed to be 'better' throughout the RaceCity persona. The ruckers (Cupcake, Manhands, BigMean, DeepEnd, Pierogi, YHC) had rucked just over 2 miles, fist bumps were distributed, pleasantries volleyed, and kettle bells brandished in the ever present gloom. As a blue camo'ed hoody and vintage F3 cap clad Mailman looked on at the culmination of his one year celebration of the introduction of Kettle Bells to The Rock AND to Race City on Tuesdays…..a proud, but subdued smile slipped across his face, then disappeared without so much as a peep of bragadociousness, to which he is entitled. The Q was disappointingly predicablely painful, but the PAX responded with spit and vinegar that is the trademark of the stallionesque brood gathered under the triangular tarps:
Warm ups: (counts IC-unless noted): Disclaimer, SSH 20, IST 15, Vegetation retrievers 10, Merkins 10, MC's 15, Mason Twists w/KB 10, KB swings 15, Figure 8 your legs 10 OYO. Run to fountain, R/L karaoke, run to first corner, high knees, butt kickers, 2nd corner, run back to the tarps.

Moleskine:
-The earnly ruck was a first for YHC in many months, and it was enjoyable.
-The Manhands mumblechatter was of epic diarrheaesque proportion, flowing nearly ceaslessly, even commenting on the Q's height, numerous excercises, politics, you name it….
-Our Repsects of Agent Orange, TickTock, Cupcake, DeepEnd and Usain continue to inspire all.
-FNG is Agent Orange's son, Sean or Shawn Caldwell, is a Marine, has travelled the world, and seems like kick a__ dude, simply said.
-Kudos to Mailmain for the inception of The Rock, and to London Whale, who has taken over the reigns in magnificent fashion. Thanks, LW, for the chance to lead.
-The above excercises may in the wrong order, slightly embellished, and or missing from the BB. Either way, they are more accurate than Hillary Clinton is in describing her emails as SOS.
Hummer, over and out.
