YHC had an idea of how he wanted the workout to go as he was driving in, but things took a bit of a life of their own once the work started. As such, I may not have perfect recall of events. Sounds off in the comments if I missed something, or if you’re just pissed at me in general, I know I am.
MARY: standing marches checked this box ish ANNOUNCEMENTS: spartan race coming up in April, huge F3 presence expected. See slack for details COT: YHC took us out, many thanks for the example of leadership set by MLK.
