20 strong PAX showed up on a damp, muggy Monday morning. Two showed up late. One eventually found the group by the levee while the other PAX ended up working out on his own. Audubon Park is one AO that you have a 10 percent chance of finding the group once the clock strikes past 5:30 a.m. Needless to say, at 5:30 a.m., YHC gave his standard disclaimer and off we went!!!
Moseyed on Magazine Street towards those overpriced condos on Walnut by the levee. YHC found a well lit field and decided to do the warm ups there so the PAX can wake up all those affluent condo owners.

The Levee with Dog Poop
Walked over to the levee. We did the following sets.
Set 1
Started at the base of the levee. After each exercise, each PAX ran up the levee and back down to the base. By the end of the first exercise, YHC saw Jingle Vader running towards us. He first ran all the way to the only Hill in New Orleans at the Fly to look for the PAX. Somehow, he ran along the levee from the Fly to where the PAX were. T-claps on finding the group in the middle of darkness. JV is the 10 percent YHC was referring earlier.

Few PAX recognized YHC was leading a modified BLIMPS workout in the middle of it.
Set 2

- 20 Mountain Climbers IC

Set 3
Started at the base of the levee. After each exercise, each PAX bear crawled up the levee and ran back down to the base. However, during the first round of bear crawl, a lot of mumblechatter about dog feces. YHC didn’t feel any while bear crawling but definitely caught a whiff of massive dog poop from Catahoulas, Great Dane, Mastiff, Saint Bernard, Ridgeback, and Chihuahua. YHC quickly called for modification from bear crawling to running up the levee for the remaining rounds of exercises. Many PAX showed signs of gratitude toward the Q for making the change.

COT
Moseyed back to the flag at 6:16 a.m with COT. Upon arriving at the flag, YHC realized Iron Horse from Tallahassee was there. He was late. He falls in the 90 percent category where it’s almost impossible to find the PAX after 5:30 a.m. However, he looked like he gave himself a great beatdown. We are happy to have Iron Horse back for the week. Thank You all again for the opportunity to lead. Always a pleasure to workout with my F3 brothers. SYITG.
