Which one is the "before" picture? Nice work!

looks like fun - nice beard you got going there

From Adam RW on Sun, Mar 18, 2018 at 20:43:38 from 107.130.1.59

Thanks to both of you. Definitely an event that leads to team building and finding your limits.

Looks like a fun group of guys to compete with. Nice job!

Jeff, Most are not runners but have expressed interest in a Ragnar, but we would need others you potentially game?

From jtshad on Tue, Mar 20, 2018 at 08:10:29 from 141.221.191.225

Maybe, depends on where and when. This summer is pretty slammed for my family.

From Adam RW on Tue, Mar 20, 2018 at 08:20:14 from 138.26.42.154

Likely not until next year. They've already been signing up for at least one maybe two other TMs for this year...

Did you guys change shirts between photos, or did your neon yellow really turn that shade of green?

From Adam RW on Tue, Mar 20, 2018 at 20:06:57 from 107.130.1.59

Jon, Isn't that insane! Definitely amazing what tricks light can play. Plus I didn't want to get pinched for not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day :)
