COT

Moleskine:

• Beautful crisp fall morning… perfect for a climb… though the wall may have been a little more interesting with some rain and mud.
• Enjoyed making full use of the equipment at the Matrix this week.  I think this may be the only AO in A51 with a climbing wall… are there others?  Anyway, good mudrun/spartan training for all you beasts out there.
• Everyone seemed to keep up on the various rounds through the wall and the Runaround… but clearly smokey smoked us all (even Lobster Roll) on the return – nice job!
• Above average mileage for the Matrix, clocking in at 3+ miles today.
• Thanks Alf and Uncle Leo for the opportunity to lead The Matrix.  Always a pleasure.
