To Post or not to Post. That was the conundrum facing the men of F3 this morning. At Dawn Patrol, 6 answered the call, and stepped up to challenge Mother Nature and YHC’s hastily adapted Q. This was a hardy bunch, including two who laughed in Mother Nature’s face and ran 5 miles from North Hills to Laurel Hills thru the slush and snow to post at Dawn Patrol. #CSAUP indeed. Apparently the Captain was still trying to jog off the 2 dozen doughnuts and 4800 calories from Saturday’s Krispy Kreme Challenge.

The Conundrum
(BBC Olympic Promo – watch it here – awesome)
I am the dreadful menace,
the one whose will is done,
the haunting chill upon your neck.
I, I’m the conundrum.
I will summon armies
of wind and rain and snow.
I make the black cloud overhead,
the ice like glass below.
Not you or any other
can fathom what is nigh.
I will tell you when to jump
and I’ll dictate how high.
The ones that came before you
stood strong and tall and brave,
but I stole their dreams away.
Those dreams could not be saved.
But now you stand before me,
devoid of all dismay.
Could it be? Just maybe,
I’ll let you have your day.
