Introduction
Took the Q several weeks ago. My intention was to Q a Black Diamond during my tenure as Nantan, almost had to drop the Q because of knee issues but decided to power through any discomfort. Nervous and anxious about my BDVQ, arrived early and overdressed as my house was freezing when I woke up.

Circle of Trust
Black Diamonds have always been intimidating to me. I’m envious of the regulars who consistently do Black Diamonds, the speeds and miles that they reach every morning and still fit a boot camp in between is just amazing to me. So I hope today’s boot camp was black diamond worthy.
I asked the regulars to keep up the high standards and to continue to push the 12. Continue to make Black Diamonds intimidating so that the BD standards don’t get lowered, instead men should rise up to the challenges.
Naked Man Moleskin
Some of us pushed to get 3 miles, fell short and got 2.7 miles. Timing was off as we went into Overtime as Sparkler called it, got back at 6:04ish.
Within a quarter mile I told my partner, Mahomes, that it was about to get ugly….I took my shirts off and completed the black diamond half nekked. I wasn’t sure if Broomstick referred to the boot camp design being disgusting or me without my shirt??
