The Thang:

Today would be one of those workouts where you can’t wait until it ends.  I knew what I wanted to do, but I wanted it to be a surprise for the lucky pax who decided to show today.  This so happens to be the first week of the 2019 Iron Pax Challenge.  A few pax in our region signed up for this and had already completed the week 1 challenge, but I hadn’t found an opportunity to complete the first challenge yet, so today would be it.  A lot of men in our region for some reason are turned off by this challenge.  With over 2000 pax participating in the event,  each man is responsible for recording their score.  Obviously I’m a pretty competitive guy, but this challenge is supposed to be more than that.  It is designed for a reason to be very difficult.  The Iron Pax Challenge is just that, a challenge, to push yourself to the limit and give it everything you got.  So after a quick warm-up, we mosey to the smaller soccer field.  I already had the field ready, with cones placed on the field.  An explanation was given on what was about to go down.  Several pax that have been battling injuries, decided it would be in their best interest to just get in a run.  This Iron Pax Challenge is called the “Killer B’s”, and yes it was awful.  The workout went as follows:

5 Rounds for Time:

*Broad jump 10 yards

*10 Burpees, 10 Bonnie Blaires(jump lunges), 10 Big Boys

*Broad jump 10 yards

*10 Burpees, 10 Bonnie Blaires, 10 Big Boys

*Broad jump 10 yards

*10 Burpees, 10 Bonnie Blaires, 10 Big Boys

*Bearcrawl 30 yards back to Starting Line

This was a very challenging workout.  The afternoon heat at Midoriyama in the summer sucks, then you throw this type of workout in makes it awful.  I appreciate everyone giving it everything you had.  Doesn’t matter if you had to modify the workout or not.  We all pushed each other and never stopped.  After a brief recovery, we slowly made our way back to the COT.  Finished it out with 22 Merkins for the Vets.
