Making History at The Nest

/in /QIC:

It was a nice cool morning for a Pre-Thanksgiving beat down. 4 PAX celebrated appropriately however we missed Martini who had planned to Q but had a last-minute situation come up.

It was good to have B-I-N-G-O make his first appearance at The Nest and the return of Yosemite after several months out due to injury.

YHC “borrowed” the idea for this workout from another region with some modifications to make it work for us. Thanks for the opportunity to lead you HIM – it is a true honor.

FNGs: None

Quick Mosey around the track and upon return, YHC issued the disclaimer for B-I-N-G-O along with the mission statement.
