Conditions: prettiest day of the week THEY said, under 80F at 5:30am THEY said, shouldn’t sweat at a beatdown today THEY said… all lies
YHC grabbed the Q at 5:00am, rolled up at 5:20am, planted the flag and ran a lap around the track
PAX began moseying in… some appeared more chipper than others
6 PAX mosey to north side of the field for WOR, music began
Then Kilo (mistaken for Cheesesteak) who was clapping during his mosey as if he was doing GG with the group; then Hand Grenada; then Yell Boy
NINE STRONG
After WOR we headed to the parking lot near the gym
8 count body builders with plank jack ladder

Mosey to Metry Mountain, lap around 11 trees for instructions
Everyone grabs a tree (don’t forget the little tree and two light poles are needed to get to 11)

Mayhem merkins 1 to 11 bear crawl from tree to tree
Bogey claims he did a Route 76, jury still out

-YHC would think automobiles travel faster than bikes; however, when Vagabond bikes he is early and his shoes are tied before 5:30am, when he drives…
-Wedding Crashers is only on TV, leave it that way. Show up to the weddings you’re actually invited to…and while we’re at it, show up to the beatdowns too. You are always invited. If your night was rough or your morning started off sideways, nothing will reset you like getting out here with your F3 brothers. The gloom has a way of turning bad into better.
-To the weathermen who thought a “cold front” meant no sweat today: wrong again.
-Sometimes you grab the Q last minute and just wing it. That’s part of the fun — leading doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be present. Step up, fill the Q sheet, and trust that the PAX will follow… even if a solid 33% are late to WOR.
