Grumblings, groaning, and a sting were present at The Bear on the 1st of July. YHC is extremely sore, once again, after completing Learning To Walk………… again yesterday with a strong PAX of 10. This workout destroyed me 6 weeks ago, and it did not disappoint on a damp but mostly clear Saturday. Maybe we try this again down the road, late September or so.

5 rounds of BTTW, first 4 with either a shoulder press X 5 or shoulder taps X 5. Then last round with a down the line 20 count. We made it through 1 round of BTTW and had to relocate to covered area to finish due to Riptide getting stung by a wasp/hornet/yellow jacket/something that makes a nest which has camped out under the power disconnect on side of building. It had to hurt, but didn’t slow him down.

Announcements – Not sure if you’ve heard, but The Sasquatch is coming up. Harris Teeter on the Fartlek, and we desperately need Qs – so sign up!
YHC closed in prayer, thankful for our freedom and that we live in the best country in the world, despite of how screwed up it seems/is sometimes. In all things, be thankful.
Great work by the PAX today, always good to have you Riptide. Truly an honor to be a part of this group, and the opportunity to lead.
