CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Words about the mission of F3 were spoken due to the evangelistic nature of the black ops.
MOLESKIN:
Slots and Four Eyes went to Town on this challenge. I’m glad they had each other to be pushed by, cause YHC was outta gas. WOW hung in for the entire 4 rounds, only modifying the number of reps, and kept up the encouragement. Quikrete had already done about 3 laps around the mile track before we got rolling and was pretty winded. He did a round and assisted in the Clipboard Q with Nature Boy after that. Nature Boy brought the encouragement and was pushing everyone through. I hadn’t really thought about calling out times and keeping up with rep counts, so it was very helpful. Woke hung in for the first round, then jogged a bit and encouraged the finishers. Everyone did a great job, the challenge was difficult and taxing to say the least, and YHC is glad to have been apart of it. Tclaps to everyone who participated in this challenge.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Grow ruck, and the City Tour was mentioned.
