Elevens on Half Pipe Hill

Two veterans and one FNG planted the VSF and bravely moseyed down the road towards the Half Pipe Hill.  One other veteran missed the PAX and ran on his own.  This is what occurred.

YHC took us out.

When YHC pulled into the Pole Green Elementary parking lot, Wheelie was the only one there.  A few minutes later, FNG Scully arrived.  He had been looking for the PAX in the back of the park but pulled into the parking lot just before we began.  Because both Wheelie and Scully are talented runners, YHC thought, “What would SAAB do?” and decided to try elevens at the Half Pipe Hill.

Two weeks ago, Circle K introduced the PAX to Half Pipe Hill where he had us do Jacobs Ladder which meant the  PAX was going to take 5 trips down and up the hill.  To try elevens on the hill would take us down and up the hill 10 times.  This was a tall order but YHC felt that the PAX was up to the challenge.   All PAX members performed outstanding.  Because of the size of the hills, the elevens took longer than expected.

After YHC arrived home, Emoji had sent a message saying he arrived at the AO a few minutes late.  After running around the school trying to find the PAX, he decided to run on his own.  He left before we arrived back at the VSF.  YHC decided to count Emoji as part of the PAX for the following reason.  The PAX circled up on the other side of Half Pipe Hill which is on the other side of the woods and we did not emerge from this location until close to 6:05 AM.  It would have been very difficult for Emoji to ever find the PAX in the park that he is not that familiar with.  Even though Emoji was gone before the PAX arrived for COT, he does received Big Data credit but is now the definition of LIFO.

Welcome Scully!  For an FNG, your performance today was impressive.
