1) Splinter was calling on PAX early between exercises to name things they are thankful for, part of the Threshold challenge (watch Twitter for more on this). He seemed to stop doing that when we began the block work. YHC thinks everyone’s answer would have been “I’m thankful for O2”.

2) QOTD goes to Zip-a-dee when discussing how Group 1 should have been thankful for Group 2 moving the blocks across the field. Zip’s response without missing a beat was “I’m always thankful for a good #2”

3)  Great to have PAX from Basecamp and other sites join us at The Matrix today.

4) Always an honor to lead
