Sinister Sabbath

Results for Art Museum event 2.0 on Sunday 0819. Also posted on OFFICIAL training blog.

The improper reconnaissance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art's calendar of events was fully my misdeed. As are all logistical or personnel problems relevant to MLK. So I boogered it but a fine looking twelve made it out to the North Parking area (?) on Pennsylvania Ave. in the Fairmount section of the city. The police were far beyond cooperative when they were awash in the same question asked by no less than 5 dozen people, that being "Can I park here or not?" See the UNITY Festival had brought many brother and sister to the Art Museum, and there were NO Stopping signs all over the streets, however the police, or even the city of Philadelphia issued them. SO when asked, the officer sat in his cruiser and said "I'm not writing any tickets", placing everyone either totally at ease or crazy suspicious. Mobile One and three vehicles belonging to clients were allowed to join the curbside location. And with the bells we dug in right at this sweet patch of grass roughly the dimensions of two football fields placed end-to-end. Home of the Big Red metal twisty Statue (sic). The team and I got loose, of course, joint mobility is always outstanding in the ZER0 hours, and went right into some swings and snatches. I had one virgin, an attorney from radnor who was a gluteal amnesiac, and the rest were all snatch friendly. The rookie hung with me and while learning the swing he reached the most satisfactory point he was going to notch that day, so I freed him to swing no more than ten reps and join the group AFTER round one. 8 of which were strong on plow and the other three have performance/safety concerns such as wrist and elbow extension as well as shoulder stability issues. But all were free to run the course. Observe.

We walked through the shuttle run course, and I noted the distance markers which were 65 ft. tall trees that lined this glorious patch ofurbangaea. Round two I engaged the rook.

It was a tough workout. After all were secure I geared up and rode my mountain bike over 35 miles back to my front door along theSchuyllkill river trail. Then I ate a chicken salad sandwich and went to sleep for 6 hours. Woke up watched Adult Swim till 0200 and then slept again. Woke up Monday to rainy and cool temps, I though I'd died and gone to Seattle in 1988, I was in heaven all day. I dig the unseasonable weather. Spring for Christmas or Halloween in summer, I just like the polarity. HA! Check you out for Monday.
