Crawl Bear was Churchill’s go-to beatdown

A double dozen of Highlands #Faithful snuggled up in their beanie caps and long sleeves, hopefully for the last time this season. It’s amazing how quickly our blood thins… 40-odd degrees would have been welcomed as hat-less weather just a few scant weeks ago… pack ’em away for six moths, gents. You won’t need the head-warmers today…

Took YHC a while to get warmed up though… not used to all the keys, fumbling with the #ShovelFlag, etc.  Probably the worst delivery of the #Disclaimer in my F3 career… except for the dozen or so times I’ve forgotten it altogether. In retrospect (a nickel word from YHC’s penny vocabulary), I might have been better off forgetting it… Whatevs (a penny word from 2.0s vocabulary), let’s roll. There’s work to be done. Burpee ladders don’t happen by themselves…

Nekkid Man Moleskin
– T-claps to @Alcatraz for a strong shout out in BOM as always. YHC has a lot to learn from you. Thanks brother!
– Lot’s of great #mumblechatter in the #gloom. @Chopper’s recent regularity of posts has clearly coached up the PAX. Love it. Plan to keep it up for Colonel on Thursday.
– Great job to all the PAX. No quit in any of you. Way to persevere. Churchill said, “When you’re going through hell, keep going.” Pretty sure he was doing Crawl Bear up a hill at the time.
– What’s with all the FIFOs this a.m.? We arrive back for Mary and there’s a caravan leaving the lot. You all owe the PAX two minutes of core work.
– Thanks for the opportunity to lead. I know you couldn’t tell that YHC was making it up on the fly… better so there’s no second guessing the stupid stuff. Thanks for casting aside your better judgment and joining YHC in his lunacy.
