– This was my first Q at Centurion, sorry if my head was in the clouds this AM. This head and chest cold w/ addition to some good meds from the DR and no hops, it’s not the flu (I was tested), I just felt slightly out of it. Either way, thanks for allowing me to lead, I always have fun putting a workout together.
– I can’t even tell you who arrived at exactly 0530 (maybe later). Nice Job boys. I intended to run and pick you up with the rest of the Pax, but I realized when I said run to 51, they took the shorter route- well played.
– I heard some mumble chatter for using a new wall at Walgreens, hope you liked it. It looked good on my recon trip so I wanted to spend sometime there.
– Ok, YHC took a lot of crap about his F3 handle, many of you seem to be cheese coinsures:) I think I also overheard comments about finger tip pull ups on the wall. The wall was textured making them harder, but I found if you were creative with you position, it wasn’t so bad.
-Apparently a few pax had concern on my form on occasion and was also counting my pull ups (Mic Check)..like I said, head cold, just tying to remember what was next.
– I was proud that at least one team picked a “boulder” for the relay race. Please sound off if someone took a small one.
– Since numbers did not workout, I got to partner with our solo rucker- Udder and we made the best out of swapping the ruck v rock. Sorry Udder, I had a party foul and set the Ruck down (several times)- my bad!
