A seemingly record low number of PAX came out to Shaken (it’s not bloody Shakin) Not Stirred today. Many theories abounded about the high degree of fartsacking. One suggestion was that the rest of the crew was too depressed by the late email from the expected QIC Riptide saying he was too sick to lead them and just stayed crying in bed. Another was that the Cary boys had just become so acclimated to cold weather that they couldn’t handle working out in today’s “heat”. Regardless, co-site Q Saban stepped up to honor Riptide with a “Pearls on a String” workout through Bond Park.

Announcements were that Riptide was sick and couldn’t Q this morning and there may be a bunch of workouts or runs with funny names we should all participate in. Prayers for Riptide’s recovery and Saban’s friends who lost a 5-year-old child a year ago this week. Burt took us out.
