Fight of the Century
17 men met at Calvary for the #F3RockZero fight of the century. We disclaimed, prayed for our brother The Shore and his family, and then launched into the gloom.
The Thang
We ran along the campus road out to 51, hanging a right towards the very front entrance of Calvary. We stopped at the circle in front of the Church and grabbed us a lifting rock…not a running rock…Haze does not run with rocks. We moseyed to the front parking lot and circled up for a brief COP before the real work began.

Moleskine
Good group of men today, most of whom worked really hard throughout the fight. Our circle was tight and it was light out, so there was nowhere to hide. BLC caught grief for his lifting rock, which probably didn’t even qualify as a running rock…but he is a Respect (and working his way back). Hoover’s rock was close to size of those boulders beside the hill entrance off Rea. Gummy was still full of mumblechatter, despite his Tigers’ loss last night to the ‘Cuse. No worries Gummy…tough road game in the Dome in front of 13,000 rabid Orange fans. Pro tweeted yesterday that he wasn’t afraid of YHC’s Q…but he did take several plays off during the hour. However, he was out front on the sprints…the Swift algorithm paying off.
Thanks to the RZ site Qs for the opportunity to lead.
We met today with heavy hearts for our brother The Shore and his family. Pray for them in the loss of his son.

My boot camp mojo is gone. I struggled through that one. I miss complaining about running. Nice Q, Haze. Bonus points for referring to yourself in the third person above, and for shortening Flipper’s soliloquy to three succinct bullets. You’ll need those bonus points since you only hit 13 of the 37 requirements laid out in the RockZero manifesto. Good group this morning. I’m thankful for you guys.
Good Q Haze. I’m still not in boot camp shape after a summer of running and practically taking the last 4 weeks off. Did I take a few plays off? Maybe. Did I start 45 minutes before you? Yep. Am I disappointed that we were in the hot box and no Little Haze’s were called? Definitely.
Always great to be with you guys. This once a week thing is nice. Thanks for the takeout Gummy. Proud of you.
