34 Pax (1 FNG) who weren’t completing the Mud Run converged at Graveyard to help YHC celebrate his born day. YHC had plenty of party favors to share with the pax. These tasty party flavors came in squat, burpee, and flutter kick flavors with a delicious pain filling in the middle. Initially YHC had intended …
18 PAX came out for a pre-MudRun beatdown courtesy of the Reaper. The Reaper was looking for blood as YHC was cut by the intimidating Scythe Flag, but hey that was just weakness leaving the body.

Teamwork was the name of the game and seeing YHC read, somewhere reliable, “three strands are not easily broken” — three seemed like a good number to use. YHC promised to keep the numbers simple and not let #Stride breakout again, like the last two Q’s, so we only got to visit 3 of the …
