First – I’m not Beads. Sorry. No ninjas, earth-quakes or alien abductions will be mentioned in this backblast after this line. Again…sorry. (Editor’s note from Beads: I thought about embellishing but I barely have the strength in my arms to lift them above the keyboard).
7 PAX arrived for a beautifully cool and clear butt-kicking of block loving fun. 57 degrees with next to no humidity – perfect for star gazing while doing flutter kick. As always, when we big boys Q we have to put more weight on those fast boys to slow them down to our speed.
Here’s the hurt we did:
Mosey to the brickpile for a little COP.

Take blocks back to the brickpile and, just like a father with multiple children always does, choose a favorite to take with you.
Over the wall and mosey with the block to the corner of Adger and Devereaux. (The PAX seemed to love moseying with the block.) (Editor’s note from Beads – this was not fun at all).

Moleskin: A good time was had by some. The boys got a taste of what it’s like to be Betamax every day and most were as cranky as YHC during a normal workout by the end of it. We thought about you men killing the Mud Run today and sent good vibes and all the speed we didn’t use.
Announcements:
It was a little late for Mud Run sign ups.
Several running races coming up – ask anyone that runs…not YHC.
Six for Coffeeteria.
