#mccantsweek DAY 2 - MURPH

One day of legally-styled backblasts is enough. If any member of the PAX enjoys that eloquent writing, I have a 45 page brief on why a RICO class action complaint needs to be dismissed that YHC would gladly pass along. For those of you who are normal, back to YHC’s normal BB style, which means one that can fit into a tweet: 16 PAX appeared at FMJ, including Peeping Tom from South Wake and his FNG cousin, n/k/a Speed Racer.

So I guess it's official now

About six weeks ago I started swimming in my neighborhood pool on Thursday mornings. Five weeks ago I posted it on Slack for anyone to join me. Just two weeks ago Flacco showed up. Today, Flacco returned and both Theisman and Riptide made an appearance and when the workout was over Riptide posted on Slack that the “Inaugural Pool workout” launched. So like I said, I guess it’s official now. [Read More]

Night Train 7/13

YHC heard about the Crazy Train, and thought it’d be fun to try it with rucks, during the evening.. hence, the Night Train. We put the word out via Slack, Twitters, Raleigh Area Ruckers Facebook, and various other COT-based means of communication. Seven ruckers and three runners answered the call. Goal Board the #76 Piedmont at 6:08pm in Cary, ride to Raleigh, and get rucking by 6:30. YHC estimated a 17min/mi overall pace, and after some advanced mathematics, determined that meant about a 4-hour trip. [Read More]
