The BackBlast:
A beautiful September-cool morning and 19 PAX, including three Texans in town for Florida State football (not something you hear often…), one among them an FNG. So we’re talking a 1,000-mile headlock, well done Cash!
I’m not sure how, especially with Coach in attendance, but the feedback machine was not in full force; YHC stretched the safety (and mileage) limits of our fellowship Friday with unlit backward running, curves included, but we made it. I’d argue we were helping the Respect PAX stay mentally sharp navigating “Complex Physical Environments” (a convenient Q rebuttal as the daylight tapers).
The Thang:
Warm up in parking lot
Mosey through cut through to Rutledge
Partner up; catch me if you can to Providence: #1 backward run, #2 squats x10, normal run to other Partner, switch
Mosey to Beckham; #1 run to end of cul-de-sac, 10 Carolina dry docks at end, return; #2 alternate 10 merkins and 30 LBC

Catch me down Rembrandt (w/ 10 squats) to Meadowood

Jail break, COT (631!¡)
COT:
A strong note of appreciation from Blackjack – highlighting the impactfulness of fellowship and accountability. Thanks!
TX FNG decries need to urgently relieve himself of copious bodily fluids in an equine fashion; shares CPA profession; becomes Secretariat.

An unspoken nod
Great Q KGB! I’m hoping an AO in Secretariat’s hometown of College Station will pop up soon, if not we’ll just have to do some more AO-hoppin roadtrips! I brought the Catch Me If You Can concept back to my AO in Katy (The Peak) and it killed. Loved my time in Charlotte at The Fortress and then The Worm the next day. And big T-claps to Gridlock for some stellar advice on what to do in Charlotte, where to go before the Wake game, and even hosting me and my family at his Wake tailgate! Gridlock went above and beyond, but I’d expect nothing less of a fellow BOTG! Cheers – Cash
