610 Stomp #99 – Let the Celebration Begin

Conditions:  Temp – 79,  Humidity – 90%, Wind – 1 mph from the SSW.

7 men posted for the 100th running of the 610 Stomp.  (I realize the title says #99, that’s because SFx made us run #18 twice).

Today was a shout out to the most important day in 610 Stomp History, Stomp #14 on 11/17/2015, when Tool took the Q and altered the route.  Tool decided that we would exit the park by the museum and run down the Bayou (Moss St.).  Tool suggested that we run to an area that at that time had a statue of Jefferson Davis on it.  That would be roughly 4.18 miles give or take 2 hundredths.  We completed that route and I don’t think we have ever gone back to the old one.

The Thang

Today’s instructions were to run as much of the route as you could in 40 minutes, getting back in time for a very special seal the deal.  Puddles, the only canine to every post at an F3 Nola workout has posted 13 times.  The Pax were asked to name the 12 men that have posted at the Stomp more times than Puddles.  1 burpee to honor each man, with a 5 penalty burpee if you shout out the wrong name.  We had about 5 misfires.  Here is the list of the top 12 all-time 610 Stomp Posters.

1.  Tool
2. Amnesty
3. Rudy
4. Jingle Vader
5. SFx
6. Hawg
7. Shorty
8. Cowbell
9. Fracsac
10. Kimchi
11. Griswold
12. OSHA

Moleskin

• The Stomp was created to train for the Spartan Race in Alabama.  I never really imagined that it would still be going 2 years later.  T-claps to Tool, Amnesty, SFx, Jingle Vader, and Rudy for making sure it had staying power.
• Two people in the top 12 don’t even live in Louisiana.  Impressive on their part.
• I think Cowbell is the only one on the list that was an FNG at the Stomp, although OSHA may have been also – but I can’t find any historical records for his FNG post.
• We’ve had at least 4 guys from out of town AOs post at the Stomp, and one, F3 Beetle from Atlanta, has posted twice.
• At least one of those four out of towners was still drunk when he posted.
• Surge Qd the only 610 Stomp he has ever posted at – a 100% Q rating.
• T-claps to Tool for coming up with the Bayou route.  It is infinitely better than what we had before.
• T-claps to Triple Shift and Da Parish for joining us from the Coastie to seal the deal and end with a COT together.
