To celebrate TYA’s double respect the PAX ran his favorite route, Grooooooove. During the COT, our honored leader talked about being grateful for many things and prayed to be a better man, father, friend, etc. Notably absent, a better and more reliable backblast writer.

Broga for Two
YHC and Last Call arrived early at No Toll for a little pre-game stretch. We stretched and commiserated with one another about the pain of raising teenage boys. Great hanging out with Last Call.
Hope more will join post spring break.

Back on the Horse
After getting knocked down with a nasty cold last week and missing two bootcamps (many thanks to Mountain Oyster for covering the Q!), YHC got back on the horse this morning with a slightly lighter-than-usual recovery Q. Joined by Messi and Boardwalk, then later Tiny TRex, the PAX did a fair number of core exercises, hit the hill once with variable movement exercises, completed a triple check, and also some other fun things under the big tent where they’ve set up a stage in preparation for Holy Week services that will go every night Wed-Sat. God is good all the time, and YHC is so thankful to be nearly done with the viral crud. Make it a good one brothers! ~DTH

Five brave souls showed up on a dark, early, wet morning with bright stars. We did one of the usual culdesacs routs. After a warm-up in the first culdesac, we did 15 Hand-Release Merkins and 30 two-count Flutterkicks on one side and 10 Carolina Dry Docks and 60 LBCs on the other side. Didn’t have time to run around lake, so went directly back to the Flag.
