  1. T-Claps for Fazio, Chong Li, Floppy Disk for starting an hour early with rucks to post a nice Saturday double (and Maize for the ruck work, but 2.0 basketball kept him from joining us for the second hour). Double T-claps for Floppy Disk for keeping his ruck for the second hour. Here is the Buck Rogers report from Floppy Disk – http://www.trainingpeaks.com/av/Y7HH2STRX4A4QYTOYOD7EU4S6Y
  2. Four FNGs had a good time with us, and endured some strange stream of consciousness naming – White Shoe, we wonder sometimes, thanks for the full explanation.
  3. Appreciate everyone persevering through my inaugural Q. Turned out to be much harder than it looked on paper. I hated duck walks during high school, and now I remember why. I nearly had a reversal of fortune from the banana I ate pre-workout – that would have been bad form.
  4. We hope that CK’s knee improves and turns out to not be as serious as thought.
