Intro:
What happens when you mix a sand volleyball court with a beatdown in the early morning gloom? Sand bears of course.

Mission and disclaimer provided, and a short mosey to the …

Naked Man Moleskin:
* This proved to be a real crowd pleaser. Sand makes everything more difficult. Omaha was called when PAX were near the finish to get to other fun.
** YHC thought this would feel like recovery after the sand bears. Wrong.
*** YHC saw sprinkers and strongly considered detouring straight into them, but (strangely) had mercy for the PAX.
**** On YHC’s “O” of course. Voice inflection required on completion.
