The TGU challenge format was stolen from another BB for an AO in NC, but modified for the TGU (which takes about ten to fifteen seconds to do one).YHC thought that we would only get eight and got very excited when round nine rolled around, but that was then end and no one could get the nine in the two minutes. By that time there had been 36 TGUs done not counting the ones done in the final round. Nicely done Men.

YHC got to the AO a little early and was alone until 5:27 when people started rolling in. In that time he put down a tarp for the PAX as it was cold and wet and there would be a lot of ground work. it was not used until the CoT.

It was cold but it was great. Thanks again for letting me lead.

 

 

 

 

Nine brave men defeated the call of the fartsack and followed the sound of the coconut halves to hunt for the Grail at the second showing of The MANNdate. The VSF was planted and the quest began.

YHC had been thinking about a way to combine kettle bells and the fun of wheel barrows for a while. Death Barrows didn’t sound like a good name. Fortunately i was watching The Holy Grail when he  realized that he  had the Q today, and Bring Out Your Dead and the theme for the Q was born.These got harder very quickly and took longer that YHC had originally thought, audible was called for only a half lap on these. MumbleChatter was high at the beginning but quickly tapered off once the level of suck was felt. Then silence fell during the Holy Hand Grenade, which made YHC smile a little smile on the inside. Low Lunges is another that looks good on paper but suck in reality.

The PAX destroyed this today and that brought an even bigger smile. Every one worked hard and King Arthur would be proud.

Come Patsy, We Ride!
