12 Days of Embrace the Suck

12 Days of Embrace the Suck

Aye, 6 strong pax leapt from their fartsack and into the wet gloom this AM for an extra credit beatdown at Spearhead.  For YHC, with several good livin’ events on the horizon, it’s time to get the ruck loaded and in the gloom regularly – today was a “good” start.  All of the pax gave their all and undoubtedly gave their “embrace muscles” a good workout.

Mosey to football field stopping to roll in the wet grass on the way.

COT

Moleskin:
– Yikes! This was really tough. At times it felt like the “suck was embracing us”…Some things just look better on paper than when they are carried out – like 8 eight count bodybuilders. All the pax did a great job. we never really stopped and still couldn’t get all 11 days in under an hour – #ruckimpact
– Carmel Middle is a great workout location with lots of options for workouts. We stayed on the gridiron the whole time. Next time YHC has Q, that will change.
– Great work today guys. It was an honor leading you.

Announcements:
– Too smoked for announcements. #O2deprived
