With 30 PAX eager to get started and no FNGs present, the disclaimer was given, “You know the drill!” and we were off.  This being my second Q, I wasn’t as nervous as the first time although this was a big group to entertain.  I walked the parking deck Monday evening to come up with a plan to hopefully challenge the PAX.  Mission completed, at least IMO.

Following is my TPS Report.

YHC thinks it’s appropriate to title the workout something spoken by one of the PAX.  The smells of breakfast [bacon] under the Renaissance or over by Another Broken Egg Cafe can be quite tantalizing at 6am when you are thinking of how hungry you will be by 7am… quite different than the smell in the COT as our morning temps and humidity creep higher this time of year.

I enjoyed leading this strong group of men on a nice May morning.  I feel so great after an F3 workout that the rest of my day always goes better on days I’m able to post at a 1st F.  A year ago if you told me I would be leading 30 guys in a workout, I would have laughed my AO.
