MOLESKIN

  • Great group of the regulars at Wilderness. 6 out of 7 correct is B+ work and meant we timed the return to home base perfectly. Hope the twist made the workout fun and different. Good thing YHC had planned for mobility MARY on the route.
  • Varying degrees of themes of brotherhood in each of YHC movie pics that should resonate with F3 Pax.
  • Didn’t reach 16 Pax until Jorel caught us at the turn-around point at Stourbridge. Workout starts at 0510.
  • Covered 2.25 miles. T-claps to Amen, Etch and Frontier for accepting the call-out challenge and running strong. Also, T-claps to master Q Top Gun for biking the route.
  • Prayers for Frontier’s cousin and co-worker and hope healing in both situations.

 

Aye!
