62 Columbia men assembled in the early-morning gloom of Dreher High School on Thursday for a #convergence workout. The pax turned out in force, anticipating the return of WIS-TV anchorman Ben Hoover (our own “Ron Burgandy,” in the red above) who wanted to do a story on F3. Sub Prime took the Q for his first time and delivered a beat down worthy of the camera.

Moleskin:
- This was a very powerful morning with a huge crowd. Thank you to Ben Hoover and his cameraman Roy for the coverage. I hope you got more than you expected.
- The news story should air some time next week.
- Solid first Q by SubPrime. Great pace, hard workout, and the incorporation of the #ShovelFlags was well done.
- The presence of a news crew in the #AO provided some extra motivation. I was particularly impressed by SupPrime’s Merkin form with a camera in his face.
- Heartbreaker’s Brickpile was completely depleated, forcing several to retrieve kettlebells from their cars.
- After the workout, Robber and Woody were asked to give interviews. I hope the edit will convey the deep-felt sentiments of these two men — they were awesome.
- Looking forward to seeing Ron Burgandy at more workouts in the future, and we hope he brings Roy the cameraman with him.

A great morning indeed and a great honor to workout with this group. The best is yet to come…
The best is yet to come?…hmmm…let me know the next time you Q Subprime….I am pretty sure that I am on vacation that day…whenever it may be…well done sir!
Crawlspace, that’s the best compliment I could have asked for.
