Yes, YHC recognizes that this post makes Caddyshack references on back-to-back days, but given Pax criticisms of my ability to estimate distances in the dark at 5:30am, it might be appropriate. But the real fun began at 5:45 with the shovel flag posted and 9 warriors setting off into the gloom.

Mountain Climbers x 30

- Okay, so the sprints between stations at Venice Beach was longer than 100 yards. #Igetit
- If you want a Memorial Day Murph t-shirt, order it now
- The crew participating in the GORUCK Challenge is picking as a team weight 25 lbs. of change to donate to the Green Beret Fund or Wounded Warrior. All Pax are encouraged to contribute to this great cause so that this can be a gift on the part of F3, in addition to the guys participating. Please see Fazio or any of the guys doing the GORUCK to donate your change (or large bills that we will have converted to change!).
QOD:
