MOLESKIN:
Solid crew today and a couple of new and familiar faces. This was Thunder Road’s first post at #F3Centurion. Nice to see you back Escargot. Dear Abby did great after his 6 week recovery from surgery. Before we began, YHC noticed Prohibition putting 2 pairs of gloves on. When questioned, Prohibition quickly replied that he has sensitive hands. There we go… Had the title of the post before we even started. Purple Haze introduced YHC to the APEX during a DZ posting so it was fitting to bring it to Centurion considering it is in Centurion territory. Covered 3 miles with an emphasis on upper body. YHC had a Q fail on the flutter. Legs were hurting and the cadence count got high pitched at 16 and the PAX thought we were done. YHC went with the flow and moved on to the next exercise. Great to see everyone out this morning.

Announcements:
1 – We need more Q’s beginning in May. Please reach out to Margo or Chelms.
2 – Looking into a site fund raiser to purchase bikes for children in the area.
3 – Fast 5 – May 21 at the Fort – 5 k with 5 guys or Ultra 5k with 2 guys (see tweets)
