19 pax gathered in the frigid pre-dawn gloom at Dreher High School for a strength session that resembled a construction site. Using scaffolds, blocks, and sledge hammers, Sway led those assembled on a beatdown that smoked the QIC. We’ll be feeling this one tomorrow. And maybe still on Monday. The Thang: COP: SSH x25 IW …
6, then 7, no! 8! and now 9! gathered at the shovel flag as snooze buttons were in frequent use in Columbia this morning.
