COT

Moleskin:
An excited New Orleans group welcomed Critter (from Charlotte, NC) to town for a pre-monsoon early morning sweat with Mr. Sneaks diving head first into the warm up.

Some correction was in order as we began our Bone Crusher Sets as we found out they were actually Mohktar Ndiayes leaving us to wonder what we will now call what we previously thought were Mohktar Ndiayes.  Critter also showed us how a well-seasoned war daddy does work on the Jacob’s Ladder.  The PAX were impressed!

On the way back from the hill we could see straight line lightning in the distance which created a bit of a conundrum for our flag carriers.  Critter led the men through what was our most lengthy Mary in quite some time.  Critter, it was awesome to have you in our group this morning!  Thanks for coming out.

We finished up with Critter breaking down the COT with a prayer literally minutes before an all out deluge.

In other very important news….Nuseltan Talyakbay has been renamed Bolt due to the fact that it is not an easy nickname to call out and to his incredible sprinting ability down the stretch of our last two runs.

    Wiz and co: thanks for the warm welcome. Good times. I’ll be back. Most impressive part of the work out was in the middle of jacob’s ladder when mr sneaks nonchalantly offers that he had been out until 4am. Now that is how you do it on the Bayou. In the Queen City, everyone starts mumbling about leading sunday school and checking their watch around midnight.
