Partnering up for pain

15 pax entered the grounds of #Thunder without the slightest concern for the heavy rain that poured just 8 hours earlier. They were greeted by a friendly and familiar face but Sled made sure those smiles quickly turned into scowls (after the Sled Straddle Hops). A quick COP kicked off the morning followed by a painful trip to and from the Duncan Street hill. The work was completed with a brisk set of #StringsOfFire and impromptu #6MinutesOfMary.

Conditions: 63, damp and humid (apparently, perfect sleeping weather)
