MOLESKIN:

  • An emotional moment for all at COT as Maize – the original North Hills Q – presents the new Zero Hour shovel flag freshly adorned with F3 sticker and prominent Zero Hour lettering to TARP – the originating Q of Zero Hour.
  • Zero Hour commences Monday, 8/19 at 5:45 am at Jaycee Park.
  • North Hills continues as scheduled Monday, 8/19 at 5:45 am.
  • Labor Day convergence 9/2 at Zero Hour.  No North Hills workout on 9/2.  I’m assuming 7:00 am start for the convergence but I don’t know that for sure.  Somebody else probably knows.
  • Don’t forget to clear your schedule now for The Mule, Oct. 5, 6:00 am – 10:00 am appx.
