Recover, recover…
What a great group today and really pushed each other. The music for today was a sort of Foo Fighters greatest hits. The second set of exercises was a bit confusing and appreciate the heckling and pushing through it. Kozar can flat out fly, Travolta was being Travolta out front. Toxic was killing it and grumbling, much appreciated. I think Ram Rod paces himself at the beginning because as the Pax was slowing down, he was flying! Everyone was pushing hard today. Thanks for coming out today, always good seeing some new faces. If you haven’t Q’d recently, step up and sign up. Thank you to Travolta for the opportunity. Looking forward to seeing you all out in da gloom soon.
