17 Pax this morning on Roanoke Field.  With some strong showings from the Late Night Boys (Toobs, Honey Doo, and everybody’s favorite Front Man, Wendell Gee).

Mary–Mericans, Hello Dollies, High Slow Flutters

COT

Moleskin:

  • Team 1 and Team 2 were beasts charging up Dare Street on the run, breaking lines with medicine balls, all the way to Bickett Avenue.  Elmer Fudd took contact and went down hard but picked right back up and never lost the ball.  Back down for the return trip.  Never offside, exploding ahead after catching the ball on the full.
  • Brian O’Driscoll.  See here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMagbt6VJs0
  • Meanwhile, the Pile of the Equipment and the pull up bars at the pavilion quietly assess the butcher’s bill.  With grass field sprint to boot.
  • Great stuff.  This humble correspondent had fun.  Team 2 came together like Bad News Bears breaking training.
  • Announcements:  Bowl Tonight.  GoRuck October in Chapel Hill. Priced to move.  Link here:https://www.goruck.com/e/099ea04c-c82b-4c48-af5c-b078138ef4b1
  • Adolphus takes us out.  Good barometer on intensity of workout when the Adolphus is huffing and puffing his way through the COT.
