“Pressure is a funny thing. The wrong kind of pressure can make you buckle. The right kind of pressure can make you stronger. The challenge isn’t to avoid pressure, it’s to chose the right kind.”
9 warriors rose to the dawn of a new day. The air smelled of pre-season tulips and southside domination.

YHC got the call from Toga to be a replacement Q. Upon confirmation YHC desired to keep the theme alive of getting off campus at our established AOs. Thanks for the entertaining the wanderlust and curiosity of YHC. Most importantly, any day surrounded by good friends that is started hearing the sounds of a river and greeted with the sunrise can only be successful.
It was awesome to see a big crew out for Batteau! Thanks for coming in Phonics, Fudd, Upchuck and Slurpee. Welcome back Love Seat! You crushed it today.
Be super.

Great Q Hardywood! It’s a treat to be able to attend a beatdown during the week. Loved the trek down to the river. Way to change things up and do something different!

Well done Hardywood! Killer beat down by the river, what an incredible start to the week! Nice work guys…
@Hardywood: can’t thank you enough for covering for me. Sounds like I missed a good one.
I enjoyed this one, Hardywood. A thoughtful and well led Q–up to your usual high standards! It opens up some new opportunities for the AO and it was nice to get into the trails this beautiful morning.
This looked like a fun-filled beat down for sure. Well done, Hardywood!
Nice work men!!
Well done, Hardywood. In particular, the 5 burpees OYO was a nice reminder of how to deal with minor, unanticipated adversity. “Just do it.”
