This Convergence was a bit different. Heavy hearts formed for the full version of “Put the Tri in Triple”, an ode to Fossil. In an effort to commemorate Fossil’s memory, we ran a full partner Iron Man Triathlon, compliments of Photons brain.
We began with 10 Abe Vigodas IC and 71 SSH IC (for Fossil’s age)
Partners took turns doing 136 reps of swimmers with bricks (2:1) totaling 3.8km, 1446 Freddie Mercurys totaling 180km and 151, 5m runs totaling 42.2km. One partner did 15 flying squirrels then switched on/off for reps while the other partner did his 15 flying squirrels. In between switching exercises from swimming to biking and biking to running, a partner wheelbarrow was done approximately 25m down and back totaling 50 meters.
We circled up for COT as we welcomed 3 new FNGs to the Swamp (listed above). Crawdad shared his 6 and it hit home as it always does.
The Nant’an flag was passed. The next 43 feet are in the hands of Footloose. It was an honor to serve as the Nant’an of the Swamp! Thank you to everyone that came out this morning and for all the support over the past 18 months. Onward and Upward!
