Moleskine:

• Who was that man with an an ear-to-ear grin while we stood out in the pouring rain a few minutes before launch? Was that Lobster Roll? almost didn’t recognize the guy. Mentioned something about a football game last night.
• O Tannenbaum nearly LIFOed, coming in on two wheels with horns blazing.
• YHC tried to take it easy on the pax due to the weather, even taking some of the workout under the overhang to keep them out of the rain – though the balls-to-the-wall merkins didn’t feel like a fair concession to some.  #crowdpleaser
• Modified the merkin challenge near the end with an audible to a burpee challenge — but not before Back Office went for swim in what must have been a foot-deep puddle.  How does that happen?
• Tried to keep the running to a minimum (under 2mi), but even so, I wasn’t sure if all the running around would be appreciated out in the mud; everyone kept up well – nice job out there today.
• Its a pleasure kicking of the the week at the Matrix; Alf and Uncle Leo – thanks for letting me lead today.

Announcements:

• Blue Ridge Relay – still recruiting.  We have at least 6 teams locked now, still looking for members to fill out a 7th team – option for either 9-man or 12-man. Contact Turkey Leg if interested.
