Reading is Fundamental

8 men showed up to walk the talk and brave The Brave.  The near freezing temps were much appreciated after several days of oppressive heat and humidity.  Oppressive is a relative term, but when you sweat as much as YHC does, anything over 60 degrees is obnoxious.

Pro tip: read backblasts.  YHC had that self-righteous feeling that comes with talking a workout to new territory, only to find out after-the-fact that Frasier Q’d basically the same route once.  And by once I mean three weeks ago.  What are the CHANCES.  Had I only read the backblast…  It gets worse; Wild Turkey, YHC’s creative kindred spirit, and the only member of the PAX to post at both workouts, was surely thinking the entire time that YHC was a hack.  YHC now needs to redeem himself with a future Q on new territory (an increasingly difficult task in SOB Land) with an innovative premise and questionable decision making.

Great job by all PAX.  We had a tight formation and there was hardly any time spent waiting for the 6.  Cobains for getting us back to launch 2 minutes late.  It was a direct result of taking a wrong turn into Tagalong’s beard and spending several minutes trying to find our way out.  That thing is like the wardrobe from Narnia.
