4 PAX joined in the Gloom this morning at Tobacco Road including 1 FNG “Merman”. A Durhamite hailing from Seattle comes to us by way of brothers in the Raleigh and Chapel Hill PAX. He was welcomed in the Gloom by Cardiac, Bushwood and YHC. Bushwood made his first appearance of the week after having “perfect attendance last” last week making 6 workouts in 6 days in Churham. He said he would show at Bastille for a pre-workout ruck…. After looking around for Woody (you can set your watch on him being 2 minutes late) it began;

Welcome Merman! He says he will be back but only time will tell. His brave sole also asked about the other workouts during the week like Fetzer, Ramses, and TBL. Look out for the male Starbucks model in the Gloom!
