Fantastic turnout (19) for my first Q at Man Maker Monday. Clearly I am quite a draw or nobody saw my pre-blast. I’ll have to ponder that at some other time….

Moleskin
- Kid Rock took the PAX out with a nice prayer today. Moses politely disagreed on one point however.
- Thanks to Omega for the honor to let me lead this great AO. I don’t visit MMM that often but it looks to have a great group of regulars. My plan for 2019 is to visit more workouts and Q them, sans running workouts of course because why would I do that? Roadie don’t run.
Age stats for nerds
- Mean: 46.9 (average of the recorded ages)
- Median: 48 (age in the middle of those recorded)
- Mode: 49 (age that occurred the most)
- Max: 55 (highest age)
- Min: 35 (lowest age)
- Count: 19 (count of pax)
- Standard Deviation: 5.23316 (square root of the average “distance” each age had from the mean)
- Kurtosis: 1.06615 (indicates how “tailed” the data, i.e., are there outliers)
- Skewness: -0.82195 (describes the asymmetry of the data with respect to the mean, i.e., are we leaning left or right in a normal distribution. For about 3/4 of my Qs, the skew leans negative, which is not surprising given the likelihood of more guys in their upper 40s/low 50s coupled with just a couple Pax in their 30s.)
