Moleskinny:

  • I pulled into the parking lot at 0522 to only find one car in the parking lot. I checked my watch to make sure that the clock in the van was correct and had been adjusted for daylight savings time. Orange Whip pulled in and then Rhapsody followed.
  • The weather app said it would be 50% chance of rain at 0600 so I hoped to have us back at the tennis pavillion before that time, which we did, but the rain never came.
  • Rhapsody pointed out the fact that it always seems to rain on Fridays, he’s right you know. 
  • Found out what keeps Rhapsody up at night, worrying about sump pumps not functioning in houses he builds during rain storms.
  • After Q’ng Peak 51 yesterday, I had to mix up the weinke some in case Horeshead posted, but I think he may have gone to Overdrive instead after an invitation from Double E yesterday.
  • Orange Whip said they did a crazy amount of merkins at WAMRAP the other day (380) and that he was feeling it. We wound up adding more than expected to his weekly total #Cobains
  • Rhapsody and Orange Whip were out front on the Triple Nickel making it look easy. I don’t think they were breathing hard at all. 
  • I thought for sure we’d see BLC out there in his sleeveless glory and he would’ve enjoyed some of the old school MARSOC exercises.
  • We learned that Madison had to pull an Elvis yesterday at Sparta so the pax did some rock work while they waited for him to finish. As it turns out Orange Whip picked the same rock today.
  • That hill in Reid Hall is longer than I remembered. 
  • Clover is a neighbor of Orange Whip and has been posting for a couple of months and putting in strong work.
  • Thanks to Orange Whip and Fault Line for the opportunity to lead and please sound off with any mumble chatter.

Announcements:

  • The Area 51 Board met with the SOB and Waxhaw boards last week and one of the things that came up in our different breakout groups was backblasts. They used to be an automatic in when I first started F3 years ago, but have become a rarity. The backblast is one of the best ways to keep the pax engaged and should be completed by the workout Q the same day. The site Q should ensure a backblast is completed, and if the workout Q doesn’t doe it, then they should write one up.
  • Madison takes a break from ultimate frisbee and is on deck for next week.
