10 Pax defeated the siren’s call of the fartsack to post in the gloom of Tomahawk this morning for a cardio-heavy dose of betterment. YHC had an internal battle while planning the festivities with whether or not to start with a “warmup” COP since the AOQ’s rule of thumb is “No warmup and no modifying.” The id side of the brain won the battle and YHC stuck with the F3 Standards established by our forefathers of warming the Pax up. Can’t preach to Pax in Q school about making sure you start with a warmup because it’s all about the Pax and then not lead by example. YHC knew that the mumblechatter would be especially strong once the Side Straddle Hops were called but Grout was in a good mood and the harassment was kept to a minimum. I suspect that they were still worn out from the young whippersnapper Rocking Chair putting a RESPECT beatdown on them on Tuesday.
The weather: Low 70s and humid but not too bad
The Thang:
Mosey around the school to a nice dark spot so nobody could witness the sins that were about to be committed.

Moleskin:
- As always the men of Tomahawk didn’t disappoint with the physical effort or the mumblechatter. They always make the long trip out to the cow pastures of Lexington worthwhile.
- YHC was able to explore the campus a little more this morning with a solo Stridelite. There are so many great features and nasty hills the swirling snakes in my head were in overdrive. So many ideas were coming out that it was just a matter of eliminating what I didn’t want to do! Looking forward to more Qs out there. Heck might buy a tractor and move out there!
- T-claps to the Larry Birds this morning, Grout, Chum Lee and Happy Trees were out to school YHC this morning. It’s great to have people to push you to do better and work harder!
Announcements:
- Keep your ears out for a convergence with Smokehouse on the 21st since Lex 1 is not allowing us on campus that day. More to come soon!
