Heartbreak Horseshoe

3 trusted stalwarts came out to conquer this morning. The rain beat us to the start line but didn’t keep us from our goal.

MOLESKIN
Kudos to Attila and Offshore for posting this morning in the pleasant cold rain. YHC was appreciative of the text from Attila this morning at 5:08am that said “Will be there to support Q but this is stupid” and confirmed the Q would not be working alone this morning.

Not much mumblechatter this morning, likely indicative of the hard work and hard rain.

At the risk (certainty?) of sounding like a broken record, the Lucky Horseshoe is YHC’s favorite way to gauge on a regular basis the progress of the hard work we do in getting out of the fartsack, posting, and pushing ourselves to improve.

And of course… the repetitive 16 reps/20 reps were in honor of the first ever 16 seed to lose in the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament and the 20 point spread of UMBC’s win in the first round. All in jest, my UVA brothers, that Hoos squad was a legit championship contender who had a horrible game, and was much better than my Hokies will ever have.
