According to the campus police who saw a 55 year – no wait! – a 58 year old man hurriedly running to class with a text book under his arm, the workout today looked something like this. We launched and did the isomer arrangement of the snake river route. 4s to the fork, 5s did the left fork of the serpent’s tongue, and 6s did both forks. There was a rucking option too, complete with good conversation. YHC took us out.
