Moleskine:
Great work by the Pax this morning. YHC decided to arrive in the wee AM hours to scout out new territory and come up with an effective down painment to springboard everyone into the Memorial Day week-end. Based on initial feedback, I believe everyone left satisfied. Great to have several new faces (including a couple from south of the border) mixed in with the Centurion regulars. Also, great to see Ribeye who crosses over the DMZ line quite often (and is Qing Centurion next week).
Hops was dusting everyone on all the backward runs. Checkpoint continues to defy his age. For him, age is definitely just a number. Abacus, Purple Haze, Mermaid, Cane and Champagne get extra credit for arriving early for the Champagne led Kettlebell work. Philmont plans to bring some birthday accessories (hats, etc) to the Day Zero Convergence tomorrow much to the chagrin of Purple Haze. Strong work by Hannibal this week – five hard workouts in a row. Mighty Mite apparently had a Merlot spillage after the AYG back home. Any additional Pax details are welcome below. YHC felt some camaraderie with Gideon (who was the topic in 3rd F The Stand) this morning as he led. As always, it was an honor to lead such great group of men.
