A strong, and seemingly eager, PAX of 14 F3ers gathered in the gloom, with kettle bells in hand, for a Boot Camp beatdown Blender style at the state-of-the-art big green gym of GCC. Not too much mubble chatter, perhaps it was the warm-up.

Moleskins:
1. Bam Bam seemed eager to get moving, while YHC and the rest of the gang seemed to be perfectly willing to continue sucking wind for a few more moments. Perhaps he was just trying to keep warm.
2. I know that the workout usually goes fast when Qing, but this one flew – over before I knew it. Very sorry we didn’t have time for a Mary – will start with Mary next time. In any case, glad to see at least half the PAX step up to the 44-pounder for at least one exercise during the round robin second set. Noticed that Bunyan was carrying a 35-pounder. There may have been another 35-pounder out there. Way to step it up. It was, however, nice to take at least one week off from the 55-pounder in Friday’s absence.
3. Great to see Carpet Bagger back at it. Beard and all.
4. It was nice to see Deuce had a new buddy to play with; loved the flashing light on the little guy.
5. Some consistent no shows: Suitcase, Springfield, Dallas, Zuul, Denim, Green Eggs.
6. The sole BS call emerged from YHC in the first set of KB Burpees. Gotta do what you hate to do as well as the things you only hate half as much.
7. As always, it was an honor to lead the PAX. Word on the street is that Bogey is cooking up something special for the next Blender.
