Field picked dingle berries for everyone!
Good to have another turn as Q. A great morning with a solid gang of PAX. The idea was to spend some time with our long neglected Grandma and do some Frisbee work. And of course, to get a good coating of field-picked dingleberries on everyone.
COP: 20 SSH, 20 Mountain Climbers, 20 Hillbillies, 12 Burpees
Track & Abs: Run 2 laps on the track stopping at ¼ points to do Flutters, LBC’s, Dollies, Freddy Mercurys
Run up Grandma 3 times
Broadjump Burpees up Grandma 1 time
Ultimate Suicides: 20 yd intervals for the length of the field with 10 Merkins, 20 LBC’s, 30 Dips at each turn
Run up to the Blue Door for some People’s Chair while waiting on the 6
Back down to the field and partner up for Footdraggers: one guy does plank with feet on Frisbee and starts dragging his feet the length of the field. Other guys runs up Grandma and back. Flap jack Frisbee/run until the goal line is reached.
Gassers for the last 3 minutes.
Moleskin:
A very quiet morning. Either I’m going deaf or there wasn’t a lot of chatter. Perhaps everyone has entered that “quiet before the storm” phase now that the BRR is looming large. A few quips about broad jumping up Grandma (Horse Head voiced his appreciation for new exercises) and a few more on the footdraggers … but overall a quiet morning for 45 solid minutes.
Natty T, who is from South Dakota and the home of Mt Rushmore, was very briefly known as National Treasure, but everyone agreed that was too nice of a name. Natty T has a much more humiliating ring to it.
Retread is from Akron, Ohio. Akron used to be (a very, very long time ago) known as the rubber capital of the world. It’s also the home to the Soap Box Derby championships and the Zips. And where I am from.
Announcements:
Convergence on Saturday at Elizabeth Lane for touch Football
Convergence on Monday, Labor Day, at Basecamp

Maybe our FNG “Retread” should be evaluated for a nickname change. Unlike Tiger Rag I’m not typically able to come up with an always witty [and sometimes offensive] nickname idea in real-time during the COT. But when a guy has the last name of Yale there has gotta be a lot of material to work with… including:
-Handsome Dan [Yale’s bulldog mascot]
-Boola Boola [Yale fight song]
-Skull and Bones [Yale secret society]
-Whiffenpoof [Yale’s a cappella group… they are famous… I swear]
