YHC woke up this morning before his alarm (which is not the typical the last few months) Remembering to check the F3Essex Advent calendar challenge, 20 burpees 5x was needing to be put in the book. YHC amended beatdown and got on the road. Planted the flag, Hitchhiker was kind enough to bring his measure tool per request to help set up The Thang, and got the to PAX which included 1 FNG. (Another FNG joined during the beatdown)
