29 PAX gathered in less than ideal weather for a PT test at the Gashouse. The disclaimer was the short form, we knocked out the pledge and then headed up to the track at Grier for the main event. It went like this:

 

400 meter run

100 Merkins, LBC’s, Squats and SSH’s (complete all reps of each exercise before moving to next)

400 meter run

75 reps of each exercise

400 meter run

50 reps of each exercise

400 meter run

25 reps of each exercise

1600 meter run

 

This workout looks pretty simple, but it’s a grind. The PAX really pushed this morning and it was awesome to see such a good crowd! I had a ruck option for those who don’t consider themselves runners, but everyone chose the run option and it was evident that those present were there to work hard and get better. Pizza Man and Sister Act led the way and both jumped right back in when they were finished to push and encourage others. The mumble chatter was low, but the words of encouragement were not. This is one of the things that makes F3 great, everyone wants to see those around them succeed and is willing to help them whenever and wherever they can.

 

If if you didn’t make it to the workout today, consider doing this OYO. Send me your time (or how much you complete in 40 min) and I’ll keep a record for the next time. I’m hoping to repeat this later in the fall when the weather might be a little better.

 

It’s truly a pleasure to be a part of such a solid group of HIM’s and I appreciate the opportunity to lead.
