Moleskine:

• Fast Twitch wasn’t the first A51 workout to get a taste of Five Knolls, but we certainly wont be the last.  I’d say we left a good mark and we’ll be back.
• So my co-Site Q Purple Haze double-booked today with both me and Utah.   Apparently it was do to some sort of “clerical error”, but please don’t give him a hard time… he’s only a CPA, so this kind of sloppiness should be expected from time to time.
• Despite the unfortunate clerical error, the pain today was inevitable – the Knolls would have happened either way as Utah had the Knolls up his sleeve as well (though he promised to change that for next week… well see)
• The usual suspects out in front today, with Hairball and Gerber out to an early lead, with Alf and Margo close behind
• Rest of the pack looked strong, and I think virtually everyone got in 5 trips on the Five Knolls, with ~220 merkins for good measure
• Thought YHC may have had the last AYG segment, but ran out of gas with 50yds to go – Hairball took it with ease
• Hat tip to PH for the error-free take-out in COT
