NAKED MOLESKIN:
This was meant to be a simple sweat test ( LESS IS MORE) easy on the brain but hard on the body. Great effort by all with special T claps to Stroke. Lots of grunts and farts where heard and some hands on knees noted during Sweat test NO 1 which hit all muscle groups with a cardio kicker. PAX really loved the Jane Fonda’s in warm up the most and I thank my old VCR for that blast from the past and my collection of Richard Simmons tapes which are gold I tell you, just pure gold. What a specimen that man. Moment of silence.. Anyway…Sweat test NO 2 was also a rerun having been done first by one Rooster of our PAX early days (Rooster did it as our only sweat test with 35lb cinder blocks for 35 minutes straight and you could not put the block down…dead of winter …15 degrees). No lie. In short AWFUL and I never forgot it. He is also credited with the REVERSE INDIAN RUN. 2nd Moment of silence. Amen. Be glad that he moved to Charlotte cuz we have it easy now. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EL ALBOGADO who is now 47 but keeps telling the PAX that he a hate but we all know what an old man look like.
