When: 6.21.23

QIC: Bozeman

The Pax: Sir Topham, Mayweather, FNG Jake, Mountie, Tombstone, Hops, Fire chicken, Mayhem, Java, Hip, Catfish, Circuit rider, Buzzkill

14 men showed up with rain in the air, met at the deck. FNG was present as well.

Catfish lead the mosey so Q could make sure last minute posters wouldn’t be sitting at OCT. 

At this moment, it went downhill for Q, should have handed off to Catfish. 

SSH – count went well. 

Called for IST did something else and counted as if I was tombstone.
Called a stop to that and just planked. 

FC attempted to explain counting to me through out. It was too late at that point. 

Swim4ella week and said a quick thank you to all for the support and encouragement. 

Thang:

Level one 30 LBC

Run the ramp to level 2 30 squats 

Take the stairs. 

Repeat level 1 

Ramp to level 3 for mountain climbers 

Stairs back down and repeat each on the way down

Repeat level 4 was push ups, 

When finished 3 burpees at the bottom(represent the 3mile swim)

Random stretch at the end. 

Q’s watch acted the same way q did to start. Confused and not counting. Guessing around 2miles. Java knocked out at least 13 seeing how many times he passed all of us. 

It’s been longer than desired since being at a beatdown, or Qing one. 

A bit rusty but felt the body was pushed a little even for the ones that show up regularly. 

I can’t say thank you enough to this group for encouragement and support. The swim4ella has become an event that this group and community has truly rallied around. It’s incredible to see what we have been able to donate. 

At this rate we will donate close to $15k in two years. 

I truly hope we can make this a “sanctioned” open water swim next year. 

I promise to get shirts out asap. Hoping to pick them up tomorrow. 

Looking forward to breakfast at badin on Saturday after the swim and the beatdown that Spud is leading. 

See you Saturday

Stay hard

Bozeman, out.
