The Swamp was a popular spot, with 26 pax posting, comprised of 10 Ruckers and 16 Boot Campers.  CSPAN rolled in hot 30 secs before launch, ran through the preliminaries and then handed off to Cobra Kai for a prelude based on the “Do It Anyway” message from Mother Teresa.  Since she posted in spirit only and not in person, no F3 principles were violated.  Having appropriately challenged the pax spiritually, Cobra Kai and CSPAN rolled out for the physical challenge portion of the morning.

Welcome to FNG/Stockade, who posted for the Ruck portion of the adventure.

Thoughts and prayers for Fun House who is battling herniated disks in his back.  Hope the recovery time is shorter than initial indications.

Lots of mumblechatter about the Target balls.  Sounds like a crowd favorite…with limited time left for YHC’s portion, BTW at Marshall’s had to suffice as a proxy.

YHC mistook Barry Manilow for Paula Dean while faced upside down.  One sings, one cooks/eats, they both sweat…what else can I say?

T-claps to Cable Guy who is clearly providing great leadership based on the spirit and attendance at The Swamp.  Look forward to having CG back in the gloom soon!

Thanks to CSPAN for inviting me out to join in on the fun.  Always an honor to lead.
