I told some of the PAX that I hadn’t been to a moderate workout in a while and had some challenges coming up with the Wienki (astute readers will note that the exercises above spell out “THE YARD”).  On top of this, I had an FNG that I had EH’ed and I definitely didn’t want him to regret showing up.  The beautiful thing is that, when done properly, the workout caters to the PAX level of engagement and fitness.  No one splashed merlot, but I am pretty sure no one left disappointed in the workout either.  All in all a success.

A few items to point out upon reflection:

1. There were 4 2.0’s at the workout (all middle school aged).  It is a real testament to the father/son bond to have your 2.0 out there working in the Gloom.  Socrates, Quickbooks, and Twister (who brought his 2.0 and a friend) you have my respect and admiration for this.
2. I had never met quite a few guys at this particular AO before who are regulars there.  While this sounds bad at first, it is a testament to the proliferation of F3 in the region.  These men settled into the workout behind a Q who they didn’t know and they pushed on through to the end.
3. Yul Brynner is hard.  If you can’t Q it, don’t do it.
4. Today is Lugnut’s birthday.  Tell that stud Happy Birthday if you get a chance #RESPECT.
