The Moleskin:

  • Very strong lead from Market Timer for his first Q: excellent job.
  • Ridiculous runs around lake from Bratwurst.  Tiger Rag and Haggis both tried to keep up; both failed.
  • Tiger Rag got revenge by beating Tadpole at sprints – enjoy it while you can.
  • Haggis got revenge from the look on Bratwurst’s face during Mary.
  • Freeleys Comet was a little loud during Merkins.  Fortunately it was windy.
  • Great effort by all!

– Perfect gloomy setting for the first Bagpip workout.  Managed to condense the large area of operations that is Stonehenge into a smaller chunk and get a full workout in 45 mins.

– Mary was pretty tough for all, especially when Dora lost count during the ab stretch at the end.

Bagpipe! New Tuesday workout in Ballantyne

The first Bagpipe workout will be tomorrow at 5:30 from the Vine restaurant in Ballantyne.  Bootcamp style with all the fun of Stonehenge condensed into 45 minutes.  Haggis has been forced to learn Twitter by the F3 think-tank and can’t wait to take out his frustrations on some unsuspecting pax.  Come on out to start your Tuesday right!!!
