COT

Moleskin:

• With the return of normal early spring temps, nice turnout after the past week and a half of snow, ice, and rain.  YHC is definitely ready for spring and some drier conditions.  Soccer fields were still a bit soggy from all the wet weather we have had lately.
• Joker originally planned a NFL draft combine type workout for the PAX.  However with the wet conditions he had to shorten up the playbook and audible number of planned activities.
• Strong work by all the PAX.  Stayed in a limited area of the campus and still able to put in a good morning’s work.

Announcements:

• Final sign-ups for GRR in March.  Large F3 contingent will be taking part.
• Looking for 7-8 for final Area 51 BRR team scheduled for the fall.  Team of 12 will run 200+ miles (each team member runs 15-18 miles over course of two days).  Highly recommended 2nd F opportunity.
