Moleskin
YHC did some sad clown pre-KB as none of the usuals joined. Pre-run for Swanson. Humid morning today. Triple Nickel tour was tough. A good bit of running and burpees always a crowd pleaser. The bonus return trip up each hill to the next rep spot was appreciated by Purple Haze. Not a lot of mumblechatter out there today. A lot of movement and no 10 counts. Merkin count confirmed by pax at 230, though may have missed a few above. Strong work by all pax today. Iron Horse took us out in BOM. Always a pleasure to lead at Anvil.
