The #Thunder Rolls

20 men posted to the inaugural workout at F3Columbia’s #Thunder and with that our newest site was off to a thunderous start. After some brief pleasantries the pax were quickly reminded that it was business as usual from a beatdown perspective. You never know what you might encounter at the maiden voyage of a new site. Sprinklers? No problem. Gravel track? Perhaps a little too nice for our taste. But what were those unidentified creatures? It took a little while for the eyes to focus but YHC is pretty sure those creatures were other people enjoying the opportunity to sweat a little in the gloom. One can only imagine this is a common phenomenon in the bustling city of Charlotte but a new element for our Columbia pax. Be that as it may, these were friendly folks and they did not appear too phased by our numbers and cadence. Shandon promises to be fertile ground for growth.
