COT

Moleskin:

• Far Side made his return after couple months off to rehab back injury.  Great to have him back in the mix!  (He was pleasantly/unpleasantly surprised to see Uncle Leo’s gift of extra Cinder Blocks for the Area 51/The Matrix site).
• Perfect weather for a Saturday morning workout as rain missed us and temps were comfortable
• Kudos to Donkey Kong for posting after shadowing a Ruck event until 2 a.m.  Still had the energy to call Q out on his incorrect LBC form.  OT says that would explain his lack of “Abular Emphasis”.
• Great group of men and always a pleasure to lead and be associated.

Announcements:

• Sign-ups for the BRR are ongoing.  Let Baracus know if you are interested in joining a team.  A favorite CSAUP event for many of the PAX.
• Mud Run training run to be held at Outland (Sun Valley High School in Indian Trail) next Saturday, 2/15.  See e-mail/Pre-blast for details.
