  • Space X Rocket Siting!

    YHC got up and out early for an OTBs Recovery Ruck after going hard at Mammoth yesterday. I reckon I was the only one the needed recovering so it was just me. Ruck lasted about 70 mins, covering 4.25 mi. At a pace of 16:30/mi

    Got to witness and record the Space X Falcon 9 flying at sunrise. That was cool!

    Friday & Saturday Q spots are still open for Loco Motion and The Lumberyard! Come get some!
