10 pax shook off the fartsack monster and dissed the parking deck option to post at The Reservation to  punch their pain ticket before the steady rain kicked into full shower.

A rather casual start to the workout this AM, as the old men warmed up in COP and the OCR pax moseyed into COP, then hit the water bottles, then rejoined COP, then changed jerseys, then rejoined COP, then paused for massage and pedicure and then saddled up fully for the workout.  They do things differently out there in IL, just sayin.

True to his name, Jingles strolled up pre-launch with bells on his toes…no way he’s sneaking up on anyone in the gloom.

On the other hand, the pax started out as nine at launch and finished with ten as Abstract entered the fray in stealth mode at some point along the way.  Glad to you made it!

Heisman took some mumblechatter shots even in his absence…proof that you are just as much a target (or moreso) if you don’t post.

One-Niner made a strong showing in spite of being down with fever the past 24 hours.  If any pax wakes up sick on Sunday, you know who to blame.

Pebbles rocked the day as usual, looking for more #ISI than CSPAN and YHC could provide.  One Niner reinforced the message of #youVSyou (glad someone was listening), but Pebble’s yearning for #ISI never qualifies as a foul.

Prayers and praise for One Niner + M as they move down the path toward 2.2 — congrats!

Great coffeeteria at Bojangles finished off the morning on a strong note.

Always an honor to lead the pax.  Thanks for the invite!
