Back to shovel flag

Moleskin:

• The morning gloom started off with a light rain to go along with the cold temps and residual snow/ice on the ground.  As CT and YHC walked the course beforehand, the drizzle stopped and it turned out to be a decent morning.
• Major T-claps to Countertop for coming up with the workout.  It was a great use of the expansive campus.  It sounds like this could be a regular workout for the Outland crew.
• 3 pax just couldn’t wait for the beat down, so they showed up early for some KB pain.  YHC is not exactly sure where Hairband went though.  He showed for the 6:15 KB workout, then left to get to a 10:00 appointment.  I guess maybe it was in Raleigh!
• Great effort by all the pax today.
• Shout out to Rickshaw (13) who looked strong all the way up to the point where he lost his shoe on the final run to the shovel flag.
• Major thanks go out tho the Fort guys who made the long trek to take part.

Announcements:

• There are still spots available for the Go Ruck Challenge on 3/14.  See Dora for details.
• About 8-9 more need to fill out another BRR team.  Contact Baracus for details.
