Moleskin:

It was a great cool morning with the Pre-KB pax getting a massive sweat on during Bulldog’s KB Swing-o-rama of Pain.  Most were smoked before the workout even started…especially Big Brown with his two week old 50lber…but he is swinging it like a champ!  The mumble chatter started when people were trying to sandbag which speed group they would get in.  Nothing like a warmup of Bear Crawl Merkins to get the mumble chatter going in high gear.  Folks were asking for some SSHs and IWs but that was nowhere on the horizon. 

Once the pax arrived at the starting point for the sprints and they saw the distance between the two cones, there were some people that disagreed to the distance.  Once we finished the first sprint, mumble chatter became worse than mumbling, and some were drooling.  This continued to degrade as the pax truly pushed themselves to the limit today…I would say Level “11” was achieved, especially when Harley starts complaining about how hard the workout is because he wants Skunkworks to be the hardest and Kevlar to be a coast of a workout.  There were some folks, (ahem…TR, Bulldog, Donkey Kong) taking some interesting lines during the sprints to make sure they won or cut off others so they couldn’t win.  It was a great time, thank you all for working so hard and making the mornings fun!  I love the comraderie we have in Area 51, the Brotherhood!  I do feel a bit bad for Turkey Leg running a 10K race tomorrow, and Far Side riding a metric century in the mountains tomorrow…probably not the best taper!

As I write this, I just received a text from A51’s greatest comedian, Brown, that his first customer this morning asked him, “Why are you walking like you are trying to carry a corn cob without using your hands?”  Thanks for the laugh and material Brown, glad the workout did what it was supposed to do!
