Ahh – what a perfect morning for F3! Cool temperatures, clear skies,and the trees lit up for the holidays. The Swamp had a special feel to it this morning. I am almost at a point where I am comfortable knowing my way around this AO, but it’s so big, I still had to do a pre-workout recon this morning to make sure I had my bearings.
We had a solid group today and everyone pushed through 5 rounds of box jumps, and the long suicides. Well done, men! It’s good to see a regular Steel Creek crowd out here. Welcome FNG Dirty Bird, who was EH’d and named quickly by Royale. Make sure to bring this guy back, my friend. It’s a pleasure and a privilege to lead the group, and I look forward to my next visit to the Swamp.
