Mondays are our grindy days š
Few questions Nichole, did you want us to carry on shoulders and walk or carry it at chest. It would have been much easier with a shoulder carry but typically go the nasty route if Iām not sure.
Iāll ask my percentage question next time it comes up.
Carry at chest (sadly)!!
