NOTES

The terrain and amenities offered up at The Village definitely make it one of the must Q’s for all F3 Nation. It has a little of everything and a lot of stairs, steps, and hills all conveniently located in the heart of East Charlotte. Even this morning’s KB twist only touches the surface on the many types of workout possibilities that this AO has to offer.

YHC was extremely impressed with the efforts of all the pax who pushed him hard to make today’s beatdown an effort for all. Thanks for the opportunity to lead at such a great site men.

AYE!
