15 PAX charged the grounds of Samson for a non-running, ladder beat down. Surprisingly traffic was a challenge for some of the PAX traveling from the great north, even as far north as The People's Republic, at 0530, but what we extended in the warm up we more than made up for it in the thang.
All PAX grab a cinderblock and meet in the first parking lot by the cars

Moleskin
- Always an honor to Q at one of YHC's original home bases, thank you Jedi for voluntelling me to Q (you know I'll do it just about any time)
- A LOT of shoulder work! Great job pushing through (though we didn't totally neglect legs – the shoulders just hurt a whole lot worse)
- A 10 p.m. request was made to have zero running so YHC was happy to oblidge (you can thank Olive for that)
- In all seriousness, great seeing you out there Olive despite the foot troubles – you crushed it as always
- A lot of grunting during the last ladder – loved hearing the PAX dig deep to gut it out but when Binary called it out YHC couldn't help but laugh and agree
- Your fearless QIC, Jedi, ripcorded half way through ladder 3, I guess it was just too much for him – we should've given you more hell for that, Jedi!
