The 12 Days of Foxhole

7 pax gathered on an unseasonably balmy Tuesday morning in the gloom to see what YHC had in store for them. Prevo met before the main course and discussed the meaning of the “12 Days of Christmas” Song. As fate would have it, YHC had adapted it for workout purposes as well.

Well, not exactly. But something like that.

The Thang:

Moleskin: This turned out to be harder than it looked on paper, covering just over 2 miles and doing a good deal of upper body work as well. My arms were smoked by the end. The milder temperatures were amazing. Great work by all.
