26 PAX showed up at North Hills Park in the crisp Monday morning gloom to sweat out the sins of the weekend. Mission accomplished, I’d say.
A few observations from YHC on his maiden Q:
- Reflective vest, strobe light, headlamp – we won’t pick on you. Probably not a bad idea to buy one or more from the F3 Gear Store. Almost getting run over by the parade of cars on Yadkin at 550am while doing incline merkins on the curb in the pitch dark was a bit dicey.
- Ernie’s put a motion on the floor that Sisyphus be renamed “Syphilis”. After the beat-down this AM (see below), I suspect we’ll get a quick “second”. Plus, I know Enron needs a name for his greenway hill near Martin Middle.
- Even Sharpie’s won’t write on wet paper, so apologies in advance if I’ve botched your name or missed something from COT.
- Please conclude the reading of this Backblast with a virtual plank hold for White Shoe, since I forgot this morning despite being reminded multiple times.
