There were 45 pax at the 4th annual Polar Bear (not plunge). YHC had a malfunction on the pax recording, and I missed about 3-4 names. Sound off so I can give you credit. Here are a couple others that aren't on the interwebs list: Cruise, PB&J, Anvil
Special thanks to our AO Captains: Moses (on IR, w/crutches) Outlaw, Special Sauce, Cheetah, Strutter, Turnpike, and Frogger (coffee and doughnuts, also on IR)
The forecast for today was cold and rainy, EXCEPT between 7am and 9am when the rain was supposed to stop. Hey, what can we say, we got in good with the Sky Q. Regardless of what the weather held for the pax, they all beat the battle with the fartsack and posted for their fellow F3ers. The theme for the day was "Wide World of Sports," not the expected adventure race of years past, but we think the pax were not too disappointed. Here's what went down.
