YHC was nervous for my VQ to say the least. The Mosey to Trio and back is a lot longer than it feels in the Car. Some good chatter on the way to Trio asking if brunch was going to be served. Very strong speed by the PAX on the longer mosey’s, YHC was just trying to keep pace.
During the Grinders, it was apparent there were some swift boots among us, (General, X-Lax, Rachel) just to name a few. The last AYG sprint to the end and back was an audible since YHC glanced and saw I needed to burn about 2 minutes before heading back. Big Tuna took off quick and was hauling. YHC was at a swift jog pace just trying to keep up.
Solid work by all the PAX, thanks to all for coming out for my VQ. Truly an honor to lead this morning, thanks to Chelms and Margo for the opportunity.
Thank you to Chelms for taking us out.
