The Grand Daddy of F3 Raleigh workouts would enjoy some mild weather for once this winter. It was so nice in fact that Sunshine arrived to the AO geared up for a little surfing post beat down. Kotters to several that have been away from the gloom lately. Dragging Pergo into his own maiden Q of sorts, it was time for some fun. SF planted. Disclaimer given. Heckling and mumblechatter were promised and pre-delivered via the twitterverse. 18 PAX were ready to engage their inner “Warrior.” (Theme song inserted later)

NMM
- Huge t-claps to Pergo for taking the pill and Q’ing. YHC has known him forever it seems. Proud of the man he is becoming. Great job leading the PAX this am.
- Confusion ensued during name-o-rama when Floppy Disk and Tooth Fairy were discussing a potential theme song for the 10 rounds beat down. It was agreed upon and ratified that “The Warrior” by Scandal would suffice. (Cue youtube search in 3..2..1) Floppy was in a hurry to get home, and run up to the attic to find his signed Patty Smyth poster. #truthnugget Elsinore just wanted the PAX to know he was present.
- Banjo really likes burpees….a lot, and is undertaking a grass roots effort to make them a staple portion of all F3 workouts for 2015. 50 sounds like a good even number for the minimum tolerance. 85 today gents. Well done.
- Lots of reps suffered today. The PAX of Pullen are strong and battle hardy.
- Thanks to Floppy and Au Pair for the opportunity to lead this am. Humbled and honored to do so. For Pergo and YHC, we’re blessed to be surrounded by a great group of Warriors (cue guitar solo Slash).
