Toilet paper Team Tear

13 PAX showed at R4TJ for a changed up event. First day of June challenge is off to a great start.

Divide into two teams
Run a 0.9 route/lap inside Ting
Once 5 laps are completed, you run only the square route.

The flag will be at the top of the ramp with a roll of TP on it. Each time you pass you pull one sheet and add it to your teams pile. The team with the most sheets at the end of 50 mins wins. Timer will be set at the flag.

We ended up with 45 vs 40 sheets of TP. Nice work gents and great push.

BS out!

Can You Smell the Granite?

First day of the June Challenge and dues were showing up eager to start posting some points. I haven’t written a backlist in about 2 months…but nothing like a challenge to light a fire under you…so here goes! Great to see these 11 guys out there pushing each other…while we pushed rocks today and seeing all these HIM putting in a strong pace on the indian runs!
