Ball of Man — Honored guest Today led closing prayer

Moleskin:

  • Solid session at #Strut this morning. This group continues to impress with their numbers and work ethic.
  • The Rock Pile was interesting, but the rocks — although heavier than the bricks — are still too light. Special shout out here to war daddy Fiji, whose first selection from the Rock Pile was about the size of my cell phone. “Do you realize how old we are?” He was allowed to make an alternate selection.
  • I wasn’t sure there would be enough rocks for the entire pax, but there were plenty. Next time, no partners.
  • The bear crawl as far as you can go was a crowd pleaser. Pole Climber had mad bear crawl skills that might rival Robber’s. He completed the entire 100 yard length of the field, and then some. He would have gone to the parking lot if YHC had not reigned him in. T-Claps to you, sir.
  • Between the grass clippings, the dew, and the sand/rocks in the parking lot, I think this was the dirtiest non-rain, non mun run workout YHC has done since high school football.
  • Heartbreak Ridge continues to be a crowd pleaser. I’m not sure exactly who it was doing the bear crawl slide down, but it was impressive (Pole Climber, I think). Did not lift his hands.
  • Brockovich and Naplam have the Q’s Tuesday and Thursday at Strut — stepping up to develop as leaders as this group grows and expands is crucial and these guys will get their chance this week.
  • An Amble-type group run could start as early as Wednesday. Brockovich spent time with Fountainhead post workout today, and he and Blockhead will head this yet-to-be-named group run. Details soon.
  • Fountainhead gave details on the AmFibious run and float — check the website for the full package.
  • Alter Boy gave information on the golf outing October 10th.
  • It’s not too late to get on the waiting list for the mud run.

  1. Great job on the Q, Sway. That workout was nasty on so many levels.

    I hope the lawn maintenance crew remembers to put the mulch bag on the mower next time they cut the grass on the soccer field. Good grief!
