So, I missed the final Muthaship Monday, but not to be denied a terrific beatdown that the Mutha always is, I brought a bit of the terribleness that was typical there back to TC. All the PAX were looking for a way to escape The Rock this morning.

Disclaimer with an extra warning that the intensity level would be pretty high, so definitely modify if necessary.

Zima let me know about a week ago that it was likely I would have this Q all to myself. Of course my response was ‘no problem, you take care of the family first and I’ll take care of the PAX’. I had some ideas, then I remembered the last time I was at Muthaship Monday and what an awesome suckfest that was. I figured the hill at The Rock was a pretty good analog and so I imitated that routine from January, with some modifications (imitation is the best form of flattery, thanks FishWrap). We got the TC regulars and Smuggler even jogged in from the flank somewhere while I was setting up cones. He can’t say he didn’t have fair warning! Fishsticks was slowed down a bit today since he ran the 2 miles or something from his house to post. All the PAX looked like a soggy mess by the end of the hour, so I’m going to say Mission Accomplished!

Missed ya Z-man! but you take care of the important things and then get back out there.
