PAX of 11 closed out DP’s 2016 in strong fashion.  Welcome High Heels (RESPECT) from Knoxville and FNG Coal Ash from just down the road, EHed by Chanticleer.  YHC was a couple minutes late getting to the EC start chez Hotspot, so we rolled into the DP parking lot with about a minute to spare, but we were off on time nonetheless.

NMS

  • This new DP AO is only a few months old but going strong. Great to have another Apex location
  • My first Q with no burpees… I knew I felt incomplete after the workout.  Will have to make up for that next time
  • Great to have High Heels from Knoxville join us today… not sure if that is his original F3 name or he forgot it
  • Welcome FNG Coal Ash from “a few miles down the road” – hope you can fit more workouts into your schedule
