Event Date

Six strong men (including Venus, not in list) met this morning to become stronger, in more ways than one. Clubber typically does some stupid, insane, things. Hopefully, no one was let down!

Moleskin

Q expected a lot of grunts, groans, and moaning this morning. He got some right of the bat with the stupid Snake Bear Crawl. Prisoner get-ups were not well received either. Black Jack was probably the dumbest thing I’ve called during any of my Qs’, however, it worked. Venus is a beast btw, non-stop and lapped everyone.

Everyone wondered about the rocks that we left sitting 20 minutes earlier, so I showed them. I heard some talk about rotating two, so I found the biggest rock from Venus and moved that amount. You’re welcome, Sir.

After the rock work the PAX thought it was Mary time, so I called them back to the wall for punishment for assuming it was time to go. We placed our balls to the wall for 1:00 minute.

Reflection

Today’s pain was free, but nothing comparable to what several of our brothers are experiencing in Ashville today…Spartan. I asked the PAX to keep our guys in their thoughts and prayers: Dutch, Blaze, C#, Closer, Lightbulb, a couple from Huntersville and Hickory. If I missed you I apologize!
