39 faithful and 4 FNGs (total = 43) posted to the downtown #Natville gloom to see if YHCs Kilowatt and Daphne could in fact find the Uptown Funk AO.  Indeed they did.  After a lengthy absence from the Funktivities, YHC took a deep breath and the #beatdown began.

  • Welcome former FNGs: Gopher, Cork, Ding Dong, & Splinter!  Great job on your first post this morning & hope to see you in the gloom again soon.
  • #Tclaps Daphne for planning this workout.  It looked good on paper and it delivered in the field.  Aye!
  • #Tclaps LightYear and Hazmat.  YHC enjoyed partnering up with you this morning.
  • #Tclaps Prophet. YHC noted relative ease with which he completed this workout..Not even a glisten or sheen of sweat. This brother is a force to be reckoned with.
  • YHC notes that under the steady hand of Quicken, this workout and AO has become a beast.  Uptown Funk is not for the faint of heart.  Aye!

Announcements

CPR Training at Cone, Feb 19th – After Uptown Funk and Derailleur: (Q = Tammy / J-Love) This is a short “Hands Only” CPR and AED instruction session, so there shouldn’t be a concern about partnering up for this training.  The price is right.  It’s free. #Tclaps Tammy for stepping up  and making this event happen.  Contact J-Love for signup info.

Men’s Shelter – Grace community Church, Feb 21: (Q = Butt Fumble) The Feb date is covered, but dates are available in March to help serve a meal on a Sunday evening.  Contact Butt Fumble for details.

Community Housing Solution, Mar 19: (Q = Butt Fumble).  Three (3) pax have expressed interest in helping out. 15-20 pax are needed for this event. Note that this is a full day commitment to help those in need.  Project may be a handicap ramp, upfit in a home, etc.  No construction or carpentry skills required…just bring a strong back and a willing heart.  2.0s (> 14 years old) are welcome to help out.  Keep an eye on Butt Fumble’s weekly email.  Contact him directly for more info & details.

New Ruck Workout – Starting Sat., Feb 27 @ Jesse Wharton Elementary, 7am launch: (Site Q = Matlock)  The workout will launch with guest Qs from the Mothership.  Recommended gear is a weighted backpack (20-30 lbs).  Suggested that you start with 20 lbs – no more.  Keep your eye on the Twitter for more info from Matlock.

Blue Ridge Relay (BRR), Sept 9-10:  Currently, there are two (2) complete #Natville teams (Qs = Kilowatt, Hushpuppy). Interest in a third team is already building, and considering the pax conspicuously absent from the rosters should be a definite possibility. More BRR info is available here: http://f3nation.com/2016/02/01/natville-2016-blue-ridge-relay-preblast/. If you regularly post and can run a 10k – even slowly – you can be comfortable on a 12 man team.  If you’re not confident that you’re ready now, keep posting.  You’ll be ready by September.  Contact Kilowatt via Direct Message on the Twitter if you’re interested.

#Tclaps Quicken for the opportunity to lead this morning.  It’s always an honor.  btw… The AO isn’t that hard to find.

YHCs,

Daphne & Kilowatt
