COT
MOLESKIN
- F3 is free, but not cheap. It costs you sleep. It costs you comfort. It costs you pride (but builds it at the same time). And despite that–or perhaps, more accurately, BECAUSE of it–twenty six men gather to run around in the Target parking lot. You wouldn’t come if it wasn’t hard. This is a good thing.
- 3x Claps to all who supported the new effort. Last week’s count at DV was 50. This week’s Wednesday counts at 59. Addition by Division.
- More Russian chauffeurs spotted at A51. Thanks to Peekup Andropov for hauling the 2.0’s, Infield and Manners, to and from the workout. Perhaps sensing a emotional car-jacking, Andropov peeled out of there on two wheels. Come join us next time. It’s free….
- Trending: Open Pit Action (OPA) shirts. Baracus yesterday, Brown today. Pose Down Season approaching.
- Radar must have spiked the Grape Ne-Hi with some 5 hour energy. Killing it on the Speed Bump Sprints.
- Most were secretly hoping to see someone go in the fountain during the 11’s. Some not so secretly hoping. Agree with Sprague–those walls were not regulation (though not as bad as C-Rock).
- Welcome to (yet another) Bananas EH: FNG Strawberry (last name Fields). Your lifelong dream of doing sprints in a loading dock have been fulfilled.
