0230 – YHC wakes up with a gut-busting pain.  Send a text to the Site Q, “20% chance I make it today.  Stomach.”  Alarm’s still set.  Back to sleep.

0350 – Alarm goes off.  Eh.  Never called out on a Q and not wanting to start now.  Also, the words of the immortal People’s Champ were ringing through my head from Midoriyama the night before.  For all the accolades, he might be most proud of being the record-holder as the only PAX (that we know of) to, well, soil himself at two different workouts.  Well, can’t do it twice if you don’t do it once.

0417 – Text to Site Q that YHC is gonna give it a go

0430 – Frantic search for all black clothes.  Worst case, at least they won’t see it.  If their noses aren’t stuffy, they’ll still know for sure, as the air will be a different kind of fresh.

0455 – Arrive on site to a big crowd at Ground Assault

0500 – 11 PAX say the pledge.  4 ruckers head out on the usual route.  5 runners launch the Catchy Named Route.  2 PAX wait.

0501 – Sargento arrives to run with Buckeye and Quiche

What happened from there is anybody’s guess.  We all put in miles and met back for COT.

Strong crowd of 12 for a cold Wednesday morning at Ground Assault.  Glad I didn’t spend the morning washing the sand out of… well, you know.
