After Coyote’s inspiring Q on Saturday, YHC thought it was time to get the PAX back into the running game to kick off the last week of RCR.

Today was all about F1, none of this F3 stuff. If unfamiliar, F1 is the premier international sport racing event. Each team in F1 has two cars that race and a pit crew. Everyone is trying to win the race, but most teams have a single driver that is faster and a support driver that helps the faster driver win. Ultimately, it is a team sport. During our F1 circuit this morning we had 3 teams (one thruple) that would work together to try to win the race. The circuit consisted of several rounds of buy ins (pit stops) prior to completing a 1/3 mile run. The point is to complete the buy in/pit stop quickly in order to get more miles in.

To make it interesting, once every 3 laps around, each team could tag another racer while on the circuit and that racer had to drop and do 5 burpees and be slowed down. Once every 3 laps, each team could also choose one racer to skip the buy in/pit stop and just keep running through to the next lap. Used wisely, these could change the outcome of the race.

This got us to 6:00 and Cot commenced. Animal was bestowed upon Tidy for his never give up attitude and the inVESTment was given to Pope for his running prowess. Announcements and intentions were lifted up. Dox prayed us out.

Side note:
F1 sucks. The other 2 Fs are definitely needed. Without building our faith and without the brotherhood, YHC would have stopped coming after the first posting. Grateful for all that this group has given- the time, the chatter, the support, the strength to push more than we think we can. Thanks for showing up. It’s always a pleasure to lead.
