19 men posted to the crisp #gloom this morning for their Thursday #DRP delivered at the hands of YHC. It was phenominal to see such a nice size crowd at #SwampFox and everyone did their best to get some strong work done. McLovin made the trip over from #Thunder to join in the festivities and by the time the 45th minute passed everyone was a bit better than they were before they arrived.
YHC was honored to have the opportunity to lead #SwampFox in a workout less than a week removed from a week spent by many helping our community pick up the pieces from the devastating Flood of 2015. Every AO in F3 Columbia, Lake Murray, and Lexington felt the impact of this storm but none were impacted quite like the ‘Fox. #SwampFox has had a unique persona since its inception two years ago and true to form they handled much of their flood relief efforts their own way. By ‘their own way’ YHC is implying that as a collective group these guys busted their humps for the better part of a week in rallying passionately around their effected brothers, neighborhoods, and victims many of whom they had never met. YHC was included on their email list throughout the week and there was not one time YHC pulled out his phone and didn’t find several #SwampFox emails either promoting another work-site or asking where they could work next. On many mornings they were already hard at work while the rest of us were just starting to gather. Make no mistake, virtually every F3 man is to be commended on their selfless service these last ten days but as a group the #SwampFox guys serve as the model of invigoration of male community leadership.

- It is always great to move around and Q other workouts and this morning at #SwampFox was no exception. Greta work by all pushing through a workout that covered some distance.
- We enjoued a nice six-pack at #Coffeeteria this morning. With the Boil Water Advisory freshly lifted Starbucks was back in service. The #2ndF was refreshing to say the least.
