Five stalwarts ignored the impending rain and the specter of a Bartman Q to post at A-Team. It always rains at A-Team. YHC had visited the beach twice this weekend, once for business and once for pleasure. On the second trip, I was thinking “man, I’m really looking forward to BroGa tomorrow.” Then I remembered I had the Q. Well, if I couldnt’t go to BroGa, maybe I could bring some BroGa to Carpex.

Pre-Blast In Welch, Murgatroyd means: a clearing in the forest on the way to the moore. So, there’s that. An even dozen HIM showed one another what it means to be in F3: no man left behind, no man where we find him. So proud of the guys who stayed with their brothers throughout this tough workout.

Date: July 23, 2018 Weather: 71 degrees, humid, rain over night, heat lightening, dry (just like the bite). Yesterday morning I noticed that the Q for K-Nite was open. Saw this as an opportunity to lead and more importantly to write the three Back Blasts I owed the men before I Q’ed again. Wrapped them up yesterday and planned yet another vanilla workout. 16 Pax answered the bell for another in a long line of vanilla clusters.

Having survived BO - and it was close - YHC set his sites on glorious North Cary for day 5 of #mccantsweek. Because of his enormous ego, YHC thought the fact his workout spelled DANGER ZONE would be the best part of the day. It didn’t take long for McCants to be put in his place.
