MOLESKIN
- Great effort by all with a lot of running in muggy conditions. YHC heard Blackbeard ask for three miles and the Salty One was not disappointed.
- Frontier, Amen and Tagless ran standard prior to launch
- Code Blues twin 2.0s (Stars and Stripes) brought the youth and speed. Sibling rivalry on full display during sprint to the fountain. Great work by both! Despite attempts to separate the younger/faster runners during Dora, twins managed to partner up #StrongDNA
- Prayers for Pierogi and his family as they mourn the loss of his father.
- YHC had trivia ready to test the Pax G-n-R knowledge. For those who care to be well informed, both Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin were natives of Lafayette, IN—also home to Purdue University where YHC spent two years in graduate school. Deep Dish would have certainly known this as he will attest to “partying” with Axl back in the day.
- Thanks to Gnarly Goat for the privilege of leading at this AO. Happy to support your new Master Q and longstanding efforts to bring fitness and leadership to LKN.
Aye.
