Another Saturday at #Battle where limits are pushed, sanity is questioned and the #DRP is served in its purest form like sap right from the tree. This week featured a couple of geriatrics, who regularly show up on the grounds of A.C. Flora, Cesspool and McLovin. With a couple of 40 year old dudes leading this PAX this morning, the question had to be asked – Is age just a number? Well, the PAX learned quickly that a couple of #WarDaddy may have the answer to this age old question, which can be found while achieving muscle failure. We did serious work today.

Moleskin:
- It was an honor and privilege to lead the PAX this AM at #Battle. Nothing quite like the show of mutual respect that occurs at the conclusion of a Q at #Battle, where nothing is left in the tank after 60 minutes of downright hellish #1stF. This is why the #2ndF is strong.
- T-Claps to Cesspool, who allegedly contrived his portion of the Q during the opening COP Cesspool is a legend, who allows the AO to speak to him in a supernatural way thereby bucking conventional wisdom that says you should plan your Q before you arrive at the AO.
- Great numbers this AM at #Battle and great to see some new faces that YHC had not met before.
Announcements:
- T-Claps to our brothers who completed the Little Mountain Half Marathon, a/k/a, the #HeeHawHalf. #F3BRR less than one month away.
- BullOnFire & Labor Day 5miler double down still in play and fast approaching.
- Thursday lunch was relocated to Salsarita’s in the Vista and will remain there until Boris says otherwise. Check it out next week.
- Check out Paperboy’s Paper for other stuff on the horizon.
Aye!
