Long Distance was clearly very excited to get his first Q started. He started sprinting from the start point to get to the warmup COP and left the rest of the pax in the dust.
I don’t think any a single member of the pax could claim they weren’t smoked after dips/derkins/burpee cocktail that Long Distance mixed up over by the fountain. Ouch.
YHC asked Subway if he preferred merkins or bear crawls. Which is akin to asking a man if he would like to spend the day at the DMV or on jury duty. Both are quite distasteful.
YHC is still puzzled as to how Philmont was able to beat him in the last sprint of the day. Coulda sworn I had 20 pace lead on him at one point…
