-Big time representation from the Cary/Apex crowd, think we had 15 for EC….pretty sure that’s a high for a 90 minute session not part of Mud Run training. #respect category was well represented, welcome Yo Adrian from F3Gastonia….with his officiating schedule I think we’ll see a decent amount of him during basketball season. Postfontaine, where are you?

-YHC & Johnny Utah started Whiplash 9/14/2014 as an early morning alternative on Saturday’s at the most scenic AO in Raleigh. When JU moved west Vector Victor stepped in as co-Q, well we’ve had quite a while so a change is due…….starting next month we’ll have new site Qs so this set was my last as site Q of Whiplash. Great location and a fantastic core group of followers, if you haven’t Q’d this AO you are missing out as the Saturday mornings out there are excellent.

-Encourage a newer PAX member to Q a workout, this time of year we have lots of openings.

-Prayers for ManCrush’s family as well as Chinese Downhill’s
