  • Three’s company

    Well actually 6? YHC hit the snooze and was coming in hot. YHC found 6 warriors ready for the challenge of what the day would bring. 3 in the runners club and 3 in the beat down club. Tobit inquired with YHC if he wanted to run to which response was “ I will catch you all later and turned to leave”. Moments later made the same inquisition of DK to which DK responded with a face that showed years of pain. According to the rucksacker who passed near by with what appeared to be 60 lbs strapped on here is what went down.

    Mosey to front bus lot for COP: 20 SSH’s, 10 each: DQ’s, IW’s, Russian soldiers, Cherry pickers, dead man hang, helicopter, Merkins, LBS’s. All counts are estimated as the mumble chatter took over the count.
