A record breaking 12 PAX for Mettle Monday which included 11 Metal heads and 1 rucker.  Hats off to those with real jobs who got the day off in observance of President’s day but showed up the beatdown which included buckets full of bricks, tires, sleds, sledgehammers, sandbag, weighted balls (that could lead to several interesting interpretations). The number should have been 13 but @tootsie found himself alone in parking lot of Highland Creek Elementary.  The Disclaimer was given and we moseyed down and up the stairs by Sports Club (yep Tootsie, it is at Sports Club on Mondays) and back to parking lot.

MOLESKIN:

• Great work by everyone.  YHC is happy with great turnout to Mettle Monday despite the cold and damp day. Furthermore some people had the day off and still decided to make themselves better this am.
• @tootsie will need to start looking at Master Q to make sure he doesn’t get lost once again in Highland Creek.  But nobody can back up his story, so it left you wondering??
• Great chatters after YHC asked the PAX if they’ve ever heard of the Tire Flip 2 minute challenge. Well that 2 minute challenge comment opened up Pandora’s box and it got creative pretty quickly. Some PAX said they would be content with a 30 second challenge.  LOL
• @phantom was supposed to be an HC so not sure if he pulled a Tootsie?  Or if fartsack got the best out of him.
• We are still hoping and praying @ambassador will be back soon.  Not the same without him.  Because of absence, we bring music.
• YHC has the Q again tomorrow and rest of the week.  Hope to see you tomorrow and the other days.
• Great for @pavarotti to join us. We could see and him from far away due to flashing red light on ruck bag.  We were not sure if it was him or @f2_thenanny but the swishy pants could be hear from a distance and were the indicator.
• As always, it was a honor and privilege to lead this incredible group of guys.

Have a fantastic week!
