While circling up at the end Impromptu yesterday, Recalculating through out the idea of splitting the Q for Commitment. I had heard this was frowned upon but I jumped at the chance to host with a local legend. While Recalc has a persona of the cranky guy, you will find he’s merely an exaggerated version of his actual self. While he does bicker it’s with the intention of laughter. If you get some words thrown at you, run with it….he means well.
So like Lloyd Christmas famously said in the 1994 smash hit, “You know, the elderly, although slow, and dangerous behind the wheel, can serve a purpose. Don’t you go dying on me now!” This quote couldn’t sum up my feelings for Recalc anymore….
Let’s go….

Millbridge’s version of Keith Jong Hill. Not as steep but seemed to never end.

• Hurley trio: 1 Bob Sr (burpee), 2 Danny’s (broad jump), 3 Bobby’s Hurley’s
• Increase count at each end of suicide by 1
Re-up the conditioning back to the start. 3 x 220yd sprints to finish. Jail break to parking lot
Thank you Goodfella for taking us out!
MOLESKIN
Chilly morning but anything was better than Deadwood Qing again rain! That brisk 44 degrees didn’t scare off the 19 PAX that posted this morning. Recalc and I shot a bit from the hip on the plan but it worked out really well. My focus would be building blue twisted steel muscles….
Usual warm up but the slow Mosey to the entrance of Nesbit Park and we were already down a few PAX. Lost Popeye and hope he’s wiping icing his ailment. Then we thought we lost Rudy but he was picking up his 2.0, Lancer. We started the Indian Run to pick up the 6. Lancer asked where we were headed and little dude sprinted there! Great to see these young guys getting it….
We got to station work and quickly learned how many guys memories were completely shot. I handed them mental station numbers and 1/4 of the groups couldn’t remember. Quick regroup and we split up. Nothing major happened here other than my choice of Steve Winwood & Eric Clapton’s Live album not providing the energy we needed for the burpees. Def Leopard next time….
I happily jumped to the passenger seat and Recalc took us on a journey. I was completely confused with whatever he said we were doing but I was taught by my parents to respect my elders. 40 sec, 35 sec and 30 sec sprints it was. Shout out to Dana for letting the PAX pass him after stage 1 to rid his body of a taco infused hot air biscuit.
Disclaimer given by Goodfella about the need for Millbridge folks like to sleep and we should keep it down. After Recalc told us about the Hurling Hurley Family Suicides it was silent.
Minutes left and it was back to the 220yd sprints to get home. Bottlecap accused two Clydesdales of sandbagging but personally I would much rather compete in short sprints for 45 minutes than LSD (long slow distance). My frame was built for sprints and it seems Fuse Box’s body was too.

It was a pleasure to split the Q with Recalc and to lead you group of great men. Always good to see the 2.0s joining us and seeing the extra push out of the Dad’s.
Yikes. That just took me nearly 2 hours to type. Luckily I had a tasty 30th Birthday Anniversary brew from Portland to help me close strong.
Great to see Mad Dog today at McDonalds and hope he joins us in his finest sweatpant material outfits in the future!
Happy Saturday!
