LBC x 50.

Moleskin:

Strong effort from everyone out there today. I noticed the running parts were hard for some and the Jack Webb was harder for others (different people), which I think is good. Also saw a few guys out there in addition to the usual group of regulars (maybe because I have just missed them) like Cottonmouth, Sardine, Escargot, Tannenbaum and Good Hands (though I think Good Hands was there last week). You are all welcome at The Nest any time.

Hammer is a Clemson fan – who knew? Marge also a Clemson fan – who didn’t know?

Floorslapper got in some extra credit dips in the hot box I think. Not sure whether intentional or unintentional.

Launch-time temperature 47 degrees. Got a good schvitz going for the first time in ages outside.

Bataan Death March (as opposed to Catan) is a great opportunity for 2nd F. Fun facts learned today:

• Clemson and Auburn have similar uniforms because in 1896, when Auburn Coach Walter Riggs left to start the football program at Clemson, he brought old navy and orange uniforms with him, but the navy had faded to purple. True story. Same reason they both have Tiger as the mascot.
• “War Eagle” is a battle cry, not a mascot.
• Jessie Spano was accepted to Stansbury but never matriculated.
• 7 is the number of completion.
• Bataan is located in modern day Philippines. If you know your history, it was a horrible, tragic time in American history during WWII. Today’s workout was a far cry from that event, but we remember the troops who gave their lives (at Bataan and on every other battlefield). Thank a veteran today.

• Jack Webb still hurts. 

Reached into the Exicon for Daft Punk today. Around the World really brought me back to high school. I noticed that a lot of the Pax had trouble counting to 10.

I am also told you are supposed to vary your voice intonation when counting cadence on the last repetition. However I suffer from a rare condition called voice immodulation (or Van Horton’s Syndrome).
