Great to have fall weather back!  Some ran and some rucked I think but we all got better hopefully.  Small crowd but quality was abound!  Afterwards we moved inside for a lesson on the luckiest (or unluckiest according to your perspective) man in WWII.  We reviewed The Forgotten Highlander by Alistair Urquhart a Japenese POW that actually built the bridge on the river Kwai.  This was a story about the ultimate in human will and survival and I would highly recommend you check it out.

Announcements:  2nd F Lunch 9/20/23 @ Pita Wheel Gastonia / Tuna 200 (10-20-23) could still use runners

We biked and ran but I can’t find my notes from the leadership principles I spoke on at Q-source that day.  Sorry.

How hard is it to get a coffee order right? Well, obviously, enough to cause one normally congenial and somewhat tranquil Blart to complain and spew explicatives over a FREE coffee! Before a truly enlightening conversation on the nuances of properly ordering a cup-o-Joe some ran, some rode, and one (YHC) just showed to Q! In our series on Leaders & Leadership, we learned about how the “lack” of leadership qualities lead to the My Lai massacre in Vietnam on March 16, 1968. If you’re looking for a great site to visit on Sundays Blart is knocking it out of the park with a little twist on the traditional Q-source where PAX pick someone they deem as a leader (or not) and share with the group.

Announcements: Dad’s Camp 8-19 / Slaw’s Annihilation 8-6 @ Folsom / F3 Dad’s with Balljoint Q coming up / 2nd F lunch Pita Wheel Trifecta #2 in Belmont

Small crowd for another rainy Crossroads.  Apparently Blart and YHC were the only ones not to get the memo for the rain day ruck.  We did however test the service limits of the plumbing at the Ingles Fuel Mart with a back-to-back pre-run 💩.  I was coming in hot and Blart kindly advised me that he warmed the seat up for me!  Off we went running and rucking.  Back at 7:15 for a quick pledge, announcements, & COT.
