Line up on 50 with partner. Run to opposite goal lines, meet back at 50 for hand-slap merkins x 10. Repeato until 50 HS merkins complete.
Mosey to bleachers, line up 6 or so per aisle. More or less like this:

Mosey to parking lot for hairburner grinders. 3 men per plate. 1 runs to touch the Horse Head, the other two flapjack burning hair and doing exercises such as dolly, flutter, merkins, and holding knees. Threw in some inch worms to close it out.
COT
MOLESKINE
You’d think it would be a home run when your FNG comes in like a high hanging curve:
- His “real” name is Payne Cave. Or so he says.
- He was EH’d by Gumnut
- Played rugby
- Went to school in Maine
- Hails from Eastern TN
Tesla seized upon the TN factoid and suggested Cousin, alluding to, in his mind, the branchless nature of the eastern TN family tree (I’m paraphrasing here). With the creativity at low tide, we balled up and moved out. Having thought about it some more, I am going to exercise exec-Q-tive privilege and am going with arugby term: Grubber. The fact that he, too, is a bit oblong and moves erratically along the ground makes it all the better.
A viable alternative would have been GumLeg, because that’s what’s setting in about now. The double steps got to be a bit touch and go in the later rounds and following up with hair burners on the tar-infested parking lot made for an unpleasant finish. Tar patches and plates are not a good mix.
TClaps to Arena for dealing with the plates two days in a row. Bloody H, indeed.

It felt like the parking lot was covered in that safety surface and that cracks were sealed with rat trap adhesive. I saw many a man go over the handlebars this morn.
Hannibal was feeling his wheaties on the stairs this morn. Pushing others who were just trying to hold back #3.
T claps to Big Top, Venus and Mr. Brady for running in. #VariableSpeed
Good audible on Grubber.
Grubber is good but before we land let me propose two names.
Given Name = Payne Cave, why not make his F3 name Pain Cave – will be funny and confusing.
Likewise what about something really normal i.e. = John Smith, again it will be confusingly funny. Picture this sequence:
James Broadaway, Les Mis, 33
Matt Lindner, Tiger Rag, _ _
Jason Poston, Horsehead, _ _
Payne Cave, John Smith, _ _
Does anyone want to Grubber this one around?
