YHC was excited to lead the PAX on a workout that was modeled after a workout I enjoyed in Charlotte over the Thanksgiving weekend. So excited, in fact, that the PAX had to delay me as I was ready to mosey at 0659. Once 0700 came, we moseyed down to the lower parking lot where a disclaimer was given and we welcomed Loco (FNG) and Ice Man (F3 Louisville).

Next a short mosey to the bottom of the hill for the THANG:

then 2 reps of exercise #2, 1 rep of exercise #1, then run backwards up hill x 2

then 3 reps of exercise #3, 2 reps of #2, 1 rep of #1, then run backwards up the hill x 2.

this format was continued all the way to exercise #12 with the exercises as below

Mad props to T. Cruise for finishing first. The PAX worked together IC for the 12th pain.

We then moseyed to the flag for some Mary:

Ice Man led us with box-cutters x 10 IC

Freddy Mercury’s x 20 IC

Packo led us with flutter kicks x 20 IC

Finally, while on our six, the PAX returned to their feet with a prisoner get-up

Then name-o-rama and BOM as we prayed for Ice Man’s dad recovering from heart valve replacement, Crossgrain’s son as he battles RSV, and T. Cruise’s brother who has a bone tumor in his arm.

Props to Francis for bringing Loco. Great work PAX!! Thanks for the privilege of leading a great group!!

AYE!
