PAX (4): No-See-Um, Stroller, Sweep3r, Turbine

Preamble:

Checked the Q sheet over the weekend and no one had the first Academy Q of the year. Why not take it? The call for HCs went largely unanswered- are we worried about being cold for a couple minutes? 3 of the most bad-ass men in the entire Alpha joined YHC at 0515. Time to go

Warm-O-Rama:

Extended run out into downtown and back to the second entrance of the school, back through the parking lot to where we started and pick up our cinders.

The Thang:

I fondly remember Caffey's Stadium of Death routine as one that completely kicked my ass. Let's resurrect it. YHC printed and laminated 4 weinkes because surely we would be spread out across the bleachers. Instead everyone had a personal weinke. Sweep3r fired up the tunes for us and we were underway: Round 1
