Moleskine:

Hats off to everyone out there today!  The efforts and spirit of competition had us raise the bar while keeping great sportsmanship in place.  YHC wanted to bring something different and hope the Pax enjoyed it. T-Claps to Mighty Mite who crushed his own time and set the record with 25:95 in the bag run….6 seconds faster than his first run…and a huge THANK YOU to Fireman Ed who lugged those bags round after round so the Pax could compete.

End Result…The Ultimate Warriors destroyed The Moonies most of the rounds!

Look out for every 3rd Saturday of each month for Hoff’s GEAR DAY at Olympus.

It was an honor and pleasure leading such a strong group of men today.

Respectfully – The Hoff
