Naked Moleskin:
The temps were a tad frigid but the PAX was eager on this beautiful morning. YHC was immediatley confronted with “Are we heading off-site/campus today?” Being that this was only YHCs 2nd visit, he wasn’t sure what was considered on-site / off-site and toys readily available to play with. So I performed a recon mission during lunch yesterday and crafted a plan what I thought looked decent on paper with the terrain but I think that will certainly be argued and debated.
Once the PAX landed on the field for the arbor (tree to tree) suicides, there was a lot going on. So much so that Philmont eventually busted out into some sort of full on gibberish freestyle rap session towards the end #02deprivation. The PAX wasn’t sure what to make of it and kindly looked away. A few pax, during the arbor suicides, were keeping way left in the shadows near the fence line – to no doubt take the easy way out.
Alf was outfront as usual all morning and led PAX #1 out and back during the AYG Springs #alpha and Bulldog led the charge for PAX#2. This is when things got interesting and fuzzy, at least for PAX #1. Original instructions were simply AYG sprints out and back as a group while the other group “recovered”. Bulldog decided to get creative, call an audible and throw in mulitple difficult said exercises #turkishgetupsetc…. while in recovery.
What the weary PAX in Group #1 wasn’t aware of (YHC included) is that only we were performing said exercises!!! Well done sire #sneakybrit! #Qfail #bullocks
Announcements:
- Sign-ups for BRR are still open, contact Baracus if interested.
- Times for all Monday (MLK Day 01.20.14) workouts will be held at their normal times.
- There are still opening’s for the GO-Ruck challenge in March (Bulldog is recruiting)
- Mic Check on Q next week for Rebel Yell (if you haven’t attended one of MCs beat down’s yet, this one is going to HURT oh so good)
- Spackler on Q tomorrow at Kevlar (he promisses no running involved and simply 45 Minutes of Mary in the parking lot). You may not even have to get out of your car and if you do, just bring your Yoga mat.
It was absolutely my pleasure to lead such a strong group of young men this morning and hope everyone got their $$$$’s worth. I definitely did.
If I’ve ommitted anything, please sound off.
ZIP — OUT!

After reading your BB, I searched long and hard for the murderhorn during my recon yesterday afternoon and was not successful. I agree with your sentiments though because I even explained my dilemma and asked point blank “where is the murderhorn” only to hear crickets… #deerinheadlights
I know where murderhorn is….I guess I didn’t hear you ask. Or I have selective hearing which I’m accused of quite often at home these days. But, I think El Campo de Arboles worked perfectly. Those runs were quite taxing. And if you didn’t find someone else’s path to run in it felt like you were running in 6 inches of snow. Maybe the guys near the fence had the right idea!
I haven’t the faintest clue what was coming out of Philmont’s mouth. Who knows, it could have been his very own rap song. And after today, I learned I will never ask him for a 10 count. I think he did it on purpose to further increase the pain we were all feeling.
Great work Zip. Whether you like it or not, you’ve earned a place among the deep rotation of Rebel Yell Q’s.
Definitely the first time for that area to be explored. Great lead Zippidy. I would have pointed out The Murderhorn had I heard you ask.
It’s great seeing a different crowd come out on Thursday and experience the Maul grounds. Alf and Bulldog were beasts out there.
Welcome back to Grass Stain. Haven’t seen that kid in a while. The missed time didn’t seem to affect him though. Dang youngsters.
