MOLESKIN

YHC arrived to see EF Hutton pulling his shovel flag from the trunk of his car, YHC asked if he had signed up in the late hours of Sunday evening. Hutton responded “no,” but he had a few thoughts on the ride in this morning. Wheel Barrow pulled in behind Hutton, his name was not on the Q sheet either.

Flipper was just a few minutes late, with his keen sense of hearing, he determined where a deer was eating leaves, and where a squirrel was playing with it’s nuts and where 5 PAX members were counting in cadence on the tennis courts. Sitting in Silence, if you are a LIFO is the best thing to do to help figure out where the PAX is located; unless of course, there is a Sugar Shack nearby.

Swirly determined that the summer fashion selection he had picked out for Batteau this am would need to be augmented by some thicker clothing; however, running to the AO makes everyday start Sunny and 70!

AS the PAX saw the city employees drive into Forest Hill Park, everyone considered how the compensation and severance package for the City must be pretty good; which inclined Hardywood to suggest a new Mayor Candidate for 2020. A F3RVA Coup d’état for the city of Richmond:

When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made.
All the world wonder’d.
Honor the charge they made.
Honor the Light Brigade.
The Noble Six Hundred.

Swirly and YHC were first to arrive at the AO, and at 0530, YHC and Swirly were still the only two people at the AO, Swiper arrived just as the SSH were commencing, Flipper was not too far behind him.

As the PAX rolled through our pain and torment this morning, YHC could not remember Swiper’s name, to the point when YHC handed the Hot Potato off to him, YHC had to ask his F3 name; at which point YHC said, “it’s all yours,” at which point Swiper continued to tell me his real name, and the remains of his life story; YHC had to be slightly more clear. “The PAX is now going to do whatever you tell us to do.” Swiper made the decision to run back towards the Flag, so he had time to contemplate what brutal exercises he could inflict on THE PAX. Lock Jaw, Swiper may need a lesson from you on how to count.

As the PAX wrapped up after an excellent take out from Flipper, Swiper was sharing a story of how he was much more of a runner, which was clearly demonstrated during the Dirty McDeuce, Swiper’s wife had commented that his arm wrestling ability was much better now that part of his workout regime included upper body exercises; keep getting after it Swiper.

Crablegs from F3 Charleston stopped at Batteau on his family’s Spring Break, Glad to have you out.

With no one signing up for the Batteau Q this am, YHC rolled with a Hot Potato Q. Always interesting to see what is going to happen when that is announced, All Q’s did a great job beating the pollen infested snot out of the PAX during our 45 minutes.

Post Workout, with the sun rising over the trees, Hardywood discussed the finer points of Thomas Jefferson’s literary genius; with all of Thomas Jefferson Accomplishments and Authorship of many documents; Hardywood found it interesting that TJ only wrote one book: Notes in the State of Virginia. a Footnote in the book was that the weather in the spring is always Sunny & 70.

Moleskin:

As YHC rolled across the Nickel bridge this am, honking at Sippy Cup, who ran to the AO, YHC wondered who might be Qing the mighty Bateau. When the car was parked, the iPhone reported that none had signed up to Q.

Rotating the Q between exercises worked well on an adhoc basis

When the SR-71( the world’s fastest plane) has to be re-fueled mid flight, the Fuel plane has to fly as fast as it possibly can to re-fuel; The SR-71 has to fly as slow as it can. Not sure why this analogy made mental sense to YHC during the workout. Also, interestingly enough, The Fuel Plane can carry a massive Payload, the SR-71 slightly different story.

Sip, Glad you were there today!

Go Rams!
