Great way to finish w a 20 rep 19 rep string of pearls theme.

Black Lung found us in record time.

Burrito from Chatty was silenced by stop #3.

We hit all the major stopping points along the Sir E AO trail w a nod to some of the famous/infamous Qs.

Hard to believe this AO has been around since 2015. It’s come a long way from meeting at the Iris parking lot. Believe it or not some of the Redwoods were Binary, Bad Boy, Grisham and Rooster. Keep up the fire men, Boy Band continues to lead it well.

BH:
Prayers up for Rooms 2 Go’s wife Katie and the loss of her Mother this week. Please pray/think/meditate for them as they go through this time of mourning.
Also Burrito from Chatty is her for his cousins funeral, K Mosley. She leaves behind a husband and two grown children and a loving extended family.

Honor to lead and to close out 2019 with a small but hearty crew.

NMM:
Lots of groaning today during the Fran Evolution of the Q only to be matched during the Sisyphus Evolution.

One thing YHC noticed is there seemed to be a lot of lolly gagging in between Evolutions, assuming that was to steady the heart rate and not an attempt to Whiskey Dick the workout.

Princess Aurora brought up 3S2T the other week after the 5 year, for the uninitiated that is Speed, Strength, Stamina Toughness (Physical/Mental). This was never more evident to me than during Sisyphus when the PAX were given less than clear directions and 1) had to figure some things out OYO & had to transport the coupon in a less than efficient manner. During RD III you could smell that hair burner smell as the coupons were drug across the court…such a sweet smell.
