Numberarama, Name-o-rama, YHC took us out

NMS

In YHC’s memory of the Central Virginia, cold rain does not accurately describe late August weather.  As it turned out, although the rain was steady, the PAX never faced a downpour in today’s workout.  We did cover a great deal of distance today but YHC was not sweating at the end of the bootcamp.  This never happens this time of year.  Well done to all PAX members!  Everybody exceeded expectations for every challenge.  It was a pleasure leading the PAX today.
