MOLESKIN
It was a great morning for a workout with perfect temperatures and a great group of guys working har
With Ignition starting 15 minutes before us and the start of Asylum I was impressed to still see some
good numbers. I’m convinced it was the guarantee that we would be motivated by hair band music
throughout the morning! Lots of hard work!
I always enjoy seeing guys push themselves and encouraging their brothers. It was an awesome effort
by all and it’s an honor each time I get to lead this group of great men.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Thank you for the Shampoo Crew donations! Keep them coming!
Opportunity to do Career Day at Cuthbertson Middle School. October 19th. 8:30-12:00. See
Bottle Cap if interested.
Week 4 is in the books and as a group the total weight loss is over 176 lbs. THis week penalty for those who are required – 200 Smurf Jacks
No change in the Top 5 this week as Zinfandel continues the push with a strong outing this week. He is quickly closing in on the 20 lbs down mark. No penalty this week for our leader.
Fuse is hot on his tail, but is facing an uphill challenge this week due to travel at work. Will he have the will power to order the salad and abstain from the extra calories via cocktails only time will tell.
Doughboy checks in as the top Lawson participant and is within striking distance, unfortunately does not have a drafting partner from neighborhood to help him as he seems boxed in between the next set of Briarcrest boys.
Chicken Little is manning the #4 spot and is ready to go. Based on scales pics he is “all in” as he even removed the socks for this latest weigh in. (note to self delete scale pics from phone as my groupme chats are starting to look like Rex Ryan Love Bunyon’s chatrooms).
Coming in at #5/6 are Dana (Briarcrest) and Wedding Singer our first non Briarcrest/Lawson entry and the last of the double digit weight loss group thus far. Wedding Singer made big push this week and is safe from penalty, but unfortunately Dana is our 1st victim who has to perform this week’s penalty.
#7 – 9 features Run Flat, Damascus, and Foundation all who had slow weeks this week and also are victims to this week’s punishment. If this group is not careful they will quickly be surpassed by Jingles/Banjo who are in 10th and 11th and have commenced a late rally to get into the top half of the group.
#12 is the first of the 2.0 Tupperware who we have recently found out does not run for charity or weigh in for competitions. For this you are to serve this weeks penalty.
#13 Shake & Bake with yellow jersey for this week. Must have been the Speed for Need event that you ran in that caused the big improvement. Great job
#14 Maple Syrup even while in IR continues to participate and working to help Lawson in group competition
#15-16 Eli/Breadbowl – unfortunately did not record weights for them this week so will serve penalty. Even with no weight do not sleep on these 2 as they have ability to sneak up on others in upcoming weeks. We have them noted on our Sleeper Report ready for breakout week #5
#17-18 Schneider/Southern Belle – after attending Asylum and putting in work, these 2 are silent killers ready to strike. Schneider will have to serve penalty due to no weight this week. With Southern Belle’s Dawgs easy win this week over UT he did not have to stay to end to watch and drink/eat at the tailgate. See if the Dawgs are challenged in weeks to come if that impacts his chances to compete here.
#19 Posse – avoided the penalty and lives to fight another day.
#20/21 – Rubbermaid/Dancing Bear must have enjoyed the weekend as they reveresed the trend and needed to use the expandable waist band this week. But I guess after watching OSU squeek by PSU and Dancing Bear enjoying his Ravens win last night it is to be expected. Just sets up for layup in week #5 for weekly.

Returning after the bye week we have a new leader of the pack. Zinfandel has taken the yellow jersey with an impressive 6.34% and 16 lb loss and appears to be determined to continue to push the pace even if it means mockery from the family when he orders tofu for dinner. Not far behind is fellow Briarcrest member Fuse Box (6.22% and 15.8 lbs) who we believe has no more layers of clothing to shed and has kicked the weight loss into high gear. From rumblings at Flash it appears he is looking to chase down the lead. Rounding out the top 3 is Doughboy (Lawson) who has the highest total lbs lost at 16.9 and is within striking distance at 6.04% loss. Could the Q juice push a few extra lbs out this week time will tell.
Additionally, we have Chicken Little and Dana who both have reached double digits in lbs loss in 3 weeks. Great job fellas!
In the team rankings Briarcrest has taken a commanding lead with a 12 to 35 advantage based on overall ranking of the top 4 from each. Could Briarcrest crew continue for the entire race or will Lawson make a late push to close the gap. Time will tell, but right now it does not appear close.
Overall the group has lost a combined 144 lbs and approx 2.77% – so great job by everyone.
Now for the weekly punishment which is based on the performance of only this past week vs. the previous weigh in recorded.

Feel free to make any side wagers or challenges.
16 PAX showed up today ready to work and attempt to beat the calorie count record. Unfortunately, we were missing Recalc, so we do not have an official measure on the crapple watch. But, based on Rubbermaid’s analysis (more mileage and equivalent elevation change), we will deem that the record was broken today.
Warmup:
Thang:
At the hill we did 16 intervals of 1:30 of up/down hill and 0:45 of called exercise
Headed back to start scraped Deflated off of the ground and completed:
10 x SSH
10 x SSH
and then said goodbye to Big10
Moleskin:
14 Pax showed up at the Floater today. Bottlecap gives the disclaimer and claims replacement Q, and we see Big 10 heading for the Jeep. After reassurance that BC is not Q today, I take over and lead Pax on mosey to bottom of the hill for warmup.
Warmup:
Thang:
15 rounds of the hill broken into 1:30 running on hill, 45 seconds of given exercise.
Meet at bottom of hill. 10 count by Foley. 30 x Smurf Jacks. Run 1 final time up hill
Mosey back to start
