7 men posted in the gloom Thursday morning. 6 finished. No, we didn’t leave a man behind and no he did not die, he had to leave early. Anywho, in case you did not know, Legion is an hour long. Also, if you did not know, the men of Legion are in dang good shape. Since Battle splits Qs over an hour I’m confident when I say that Legion presents the toughest test for a Q in Columbia. The challenge is to fill an hour with the hard things for these guys. Ain’t easy and I’m smoked.
Conditions: Dead on 32 degrees. Clear. Dry, thank goodness.

Moleskin:
– This one was rough. The pax were shedding layers and dripping sweat with a quickness. An hour on a weekday morning ain’t for the #bluepillers. Respect for #Legion.
– “Never anything good about a lumpy butt”. I’ll just leave that there.
