Strong work by all PAX today. Cane, Lobster Roll, Intel, and Hannibal consistently leading the group. Strong work by Champagne to get through this one after a 3-miler. Good to see some of the newer faces with consistency: Rehab, Swanson, Brushback, and Outback to name a few. Iron Horse continues to set the bar for WDs. Solid work out there. The Beast-Triple Nickel-Bench Set trifecta was tough and definitely got the heart rate up. Not much down time today. No 10-counts. 1.9 miles total run. A pleasure to lead a fine group of men this morning. Thank you for the opportunity and for your leadership at this great AO Baracus. Again, strong work by all PAX. Hannibal took group out in prayer for BOM.

Cane told YHC it was a pretty good one today. Hard to wear Cane down as he is in fine shape and will compete in a sprint triathlon at Latta this weekend. Good luck my friend and if you need more difficulty than was doled out today, step up and take the Q.
