As YHC removed the covers and got out of the fartsack…oh wait, that’s not right. No covers, and no fartsack this morning, just a very brief 15 minute nap in the parking lot, then a quick change of clothes, and then stumble out of his car into the brisk gloom to welcome 8 other pax …

The QIC really underestimated the pain and suffering his Q would bring this morning in the gloom.

But everyone made it through and …

When YHC initially signed up to Q this workout he hadn’t planned on being up all night long, nor had he planned on rucking 20 miles finishing merely an hour before the workout started. Both of those things happened, so that led to an epic double down opportunity (DD for Chin Strap as well). He …

Eight Pax got out of the fartsack and said, “29 degrees and an F3 workout, No problem, bring it.” What we did not realize is that rubber tires become exponentially heavier when the temperature drops below 32 degrees.
