Black Friday Convergence > Turkey Jam

Black Friday Convergence > Turkey Jam

13 PAX from Cerberus, Centurion and The Brave converged at Waverly on a blustery Black Friday morning to exorcise Thanksgiving debauchery and prove Paper Jam wrong.

Oatskin

• Billy Goat wore a full-on snowsuit and it was fantastic
• Thin Mint had a dude wipe stashed under his hat.  The morning after Thanksgiving you can never be too careful.
• After a flurry of Slack messages on Thanksgiving, Cheese Curd figured out where and when the convergence was.  If only there was a schedule online…
• Tolkien flew under the radar, a far different beast than the Tolkien of old who would have been doing karaoke and backflips as we traveled from point A to point B.
• Thin Mint almost impaled himself on a random stake on the big field. #disclaimer
• It is pretty clear that the automatic mowers (think roombas) on the big field are self-aware and don’t like us
• The 4 corners / 11’s thing made perfect sense in YHC’s head but not in the real world.  Mighty Mite implemented his own interpretation and it was probably better than what was called.
• YHC pulled an audible with the people’s chair / hill climb combo.  After all, you can’t just mosey past a hill like that without doing something stupid on it. There was a little friendly competition during round 4 between YHC and Doc McStuffins, with the better athlete/man reaching the wall first.
• During COT McGee made a passionate appeal for the PAX to check out WAMRAP (Wednesday AMRAP workout at Waverly).  He even definitively clarified what the “W” stands for, but you had to be there.
• Overall the effort was strong by all and we stayed together nicely throughout.  Great work, men.
• Fun times at Panera coffeeteria.  The only thing stronger than the workout was the oatmeal that YHC enjoyed.  I could feel it coursing through my veins and helping me to recover instantly.  I just might scoop a helping into my back pocket before Kiawah.  The highlight of the morning was when Mighty Mite pointed out that Thin Mint had egg on his face, and not the metaphorical kind.
• After Paper Jam’s #fakenews that no one would post the day after Thanksgiving, we tied his “Turkey Sham” with 13 PAX.  However, if you count a Dasher sighting at coffeeteria, we actually won.  Better luck next year PJ.
