Masters Division

Masters Thursday starts a 4-day holiday weekend for many, but today wasn’t a picnic for the 5 HIM who put in work at Bulldog.  Here’s what I remember:

YHC led off with the pledge and a warm up, then proceeded to talk about the Masters theme.

“Masters athletes are typically 35 years or older.  World athletics rules define masters athletics as starting at age 35 for both men and women.”

And there we have it.  We all qualify as Masters athletes, so outside of the warmup, we’re going to use 3s, 5s, and 35s.

For once in YHC’s career as a Q, we finished early, but with the “35” theme, we had an opportunity for some unique Mary, and the PAX obliged

• 35 x Six Shooters (IC – Orangeman)
• 35 x Mountain Climbers (IC – Clavin)

And that was it.

No doubt Orangeman won money on the Masters.  We all got our money’s worth.

Grab a bell and be here next week.
