YHC was lucky enough to grab the last spot of 2020 on the Thicket Q sheet.  Having not Q’d many boot camp workouts or even posted all that much lately, for that matter, YHC planned today’s workout for the wrong AO which required some moseying (this was a lame joke that fell flat, or else everyone was laughing, but they were on mute – this is the benefit of the doubt YHC gives himself on all his WebEx calls).

The weather was perfect. 15 PAX rolled, ran and rucked up for a Thicket at the Mustang, or a Mustang at the Thicket.

When planning today’s workout YHC had built in a bunch of activities he’s comfortable with – merkins, bear crawl, running, etc.  But it is variety of experiences that makes us better.  So the PAX were called upon to give us some movements of their choosing and we got a much better workout than what YHC could have offered.  In a crazy year where a lot of things came at us that we were not expecting, one can be assured that we’ll come out of this stronger than we went in for having faced these challenges.  Aye.
