It was a gracious group for my first Q. The usual chatter at first died down as quickly as the swing count rose. The farmer carry was long, but the chatter picked back up as we headed to the field. By the time we got to the 1,000 yards of pain all you could hear was heavy breathing under the moonlight. Props to Yeti and Joystick who put in some extra work between sprints; most of the rest of us were on hands and knees. Anyone else’s forearms feeling numb? Good work fellas!

Posted on behalf of Tulip. I think the source of Tulip’s nickname goes back to the five points of Calvinism – total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints…Reformed theology trivia for the day.
