Moleskin

This is the first AO in quite a while that actually felt like the #gloom.  YHC arrived early to check on the status of the fields and decided to audible to no grass workout today.  Those fields are in too nice a shape for the 14 of us to go out and destroy them.  Bleeder commented that it’s fun to play in the rain as long as it isn’t 40 degrees, couldn’t agree more.

YHC isn’t quite sure how to describe the first sets of ab exercises in the puddles on the tennis court.  The juvenile nature of my humor quickly came out as the PAX proceeded to complete ab exercises on their backs in a soaking wet shirt.  If anyone was passing by for a morning walk in the rain they surely would have believed the tennis courts had turned into a bog with a bunch of bull frogs clearing their throat, 40 times.  It didn’t get old throughout the 5 set match.

At one point during curb-a-licious YHC though Shooter tossed his cookies.  Fairly confident that he was simply ringing out his shirt.  Confirmation requested.

Thanks to Jville for the MOM suggestions at the end.  YHC’s improv was clean out of ideas.

Welcome Herbie (FNG) to the PAX; that’s some serious dedication to show up at your first F3 workout in the middle of a downpour.  Hope to see you back soon.
