Mosey to Parking Lot for COT
Moleskin:
Mcgee was wearing mittens. Could have been an F3 first. hmm…
An attempt to implement “Shores Shoulders” during the warm up quickly went south and wound up feeling more the “Flight of the Dodo” with legs wide and arms flappin.
The F300 (Prototype) crashed and burned this a.m. due to bad design. Look for a new and improved model in weeks to come.
Several men, including YHC, posted this a.m. wearing compression pants (AKA tights). A very manly display in the opinion of some. However, TR can be quoted as saying “Men in tights in any weather is silly. In 42 degree weather, its plain pitiful. Get your purse out of the way Nancy”
… Compression pants or not, no Nancy’s posted Death Valley on this crisp morning. Aye

Definitely a few wardrobe malfunctions in the gloom this morning. Thankfully it was very dark. Personally, I’m not a fan of “compression pants” [aka man-tights], but I see no issue with the PAX making this wardrobe selection, so long as said PAX wears appropriate outer wear on top of the man-tights, avoiding any gratuitous displays of manhood.
The best quote of the day however, goes to Tiger Rag as we finished the uphill lunges and started running from the football field to the baseball fields. McGee who originally posted with a white shirt shed that outer layer and just had on his black Dryfit shirt on. TR says “Oh I didn’t recognize you at first because you took your shirt off, but then I could tell you were McGee by the sound of your panting.”. Not sure what that was all about!
Don’t look now but the South Charlotte Pax is quietly and steadily growing fast! Good job boys, let’s keep em coming aboard.
Great job with the workout yesterday, CT. Once I realized the difference in a Burpee and a Spartan Race Burpee (midway thru the set of 20’s), I was able to get thru them.
Good to see so many guys out at DV – man tights or not. I think where the line needs to be drawn is no man purses or “fanny” packs.
