Horseshoe(ish) at the Oak

Event Date

Apr 16, 2025


YHC returned home yesterday from a short spring break trip with the fam, touring colleges with 2.0, to find that the calendar was empty for today’s #TheMightyOak – whoops.  Had a lot going on last week before skipping town and forgot to look ahead / secure a Q.

No worries, though – MQ took it, and shot out a pb yesterday evening.

  • Thanks to Pillager for posting with YHC this morning.  Even in the worst of conditions, or following the latest of preblasts, or when other pax are all unsurprisingly out of town, Isotope pax rarely if ever let you post alone.  Appreciate the support, Pillager.
  • Pillager did a ton of blockwork on Monday at Arnie’s, and was still feeling it this morning.  Cobains for the additional blockwork this morning bud.
  • The laps gave us plenty of time to chat about various topics including high schools, colleges, kids, and summer plans.  Great to catch up on all of that.
  • As Pillager noted, the sun is starting to come up before end of the workout these days.  Very few stars visible by the time we got to Mary.
  • Big Montana stepped up to take next week’s Q.  Looking forward to having the rest of our regulars back from spring break for that.  We didn’t miss the lunch lady buzzing by us in the bus lot this morning…. was nice to have a one week break on that.
  • Thanks to Auto and Eeyore for the EH in June 2016 – I’m forever grateful.

Aye!
