It was a clear morning in Five Points, as 12 men emerged from their bunkers for a post-tornado beatdown. There were no trees sprawled across the roads, thanks to the ITB weather shield’s protection. Your tax dollars at work. YHC received a personal invite from the F3 Ricochet’s twitter handle to Q this AO, only to find that said handler of said twitter account was nowhere to be found. Sad times. With disappointment in the air, we took off.

Strong work by the PAX today. Our route was about 4 miles on the nose. Plenty of hills mixed in. A real beast right after the pain station as we made our way back up Anderson towards White Oak. Now that’s a hill. Post-workout mumble chatter was aplenty with regards to Myrtle’s status as site-Q. Mixed reports about how he came to be site-Q. Moneyhose initiating a Labor Day Telethon for bother Myrtle. We’re pulling for you man.
