Another hot and humid summer Saturday, but you all always make this worthwhile. YHC witnessed a solid effort by all. Mr. Roper can knock out some chin-ups. Patty Mayo excelled at just about everything. He especially stood out in the amphitheater. Impressive. Gumbo was the model for being dragged. Not sure how he managed a perfect 45-degree angle from the ground, but YHC suspects his ultimate form was inspired by his partner’s repeated velcro comments. Bleeder crushed the polar bears. If he is signed up for the monthly challenge, the gauntlet has been thrown.

 

This was right around YHC’s one-year anniversary with F3. It was a bit intimidating to try Dogpile for the first time. Appreciate everyone bearing with YHC. Apologies for any ripped shirts or back rug burns from the partner drag. YHC now cannot complain about bruised spine from WWW II sit-ups on the Nickel Bridge. Seriously, YHC is truly grateful to be a part of this amazing brotherhood.
