One PAX launched early for the latest edition of The Clinic. Conditions were 70 and sunny. According to Helen, the following may quite possibly have happened: Mosey from the hotel to the man-made lake for the COP SSHs, IWs, DQs, Dead Man Hang, stretch to the sky, LBCs, WWIIs. Circuits around the lake. YHC estimates the small circuit around the lake is about the same as a track (1/4 mile). As YHC will tell anyone, YHC hates track work. YHC wonders why anyone would use a track, ever, for anything. Just a horrific invention. So, YHC did essentially track work…
