Moleskin:

-Anyone who has posted at Hydra over the past 2 months or so has been introduced to Greyhound.  He has become a Hydra regular and is one of the toughest and fittest 75 year olds that many of us will probably ever meet.  So as Q this morning I knew that I was going to pick Greyhound to be my partner.  His response to me was “I’ll try my best to keep up with you”.  He did not let me down.  He is not the fastest runner out there, but takes anything the Q’s throw at him and he always pushes himself to the limit as can be seen from the sweat.  When coming into the transition area each time I would tell him how many more merkins we needed to get to 50 and his response to me was “yes sir!” A couple of times he even tried to do more merkins than our team needed!  It’s amazing and inspiring to see a man old enough to be your father and even grandfather to some come out and make his weekly downPAINment.  This morning he even asked what the F3 workout schedule was on Thanksgiving day!  So the the question is… If a 75 year old can post every Thursday… why can’t you (YHC included)?  Take that fartsackers!

-Thanks for the inspiration Greyhound!  Hopefully I can make it another 30 years and will join you for an F3 workout when I’m 75.  See you in the gloom.

-Strong effort out there today by all.  Happy Halloween!
