Six PAX gathered in the Gloom at The Gipper this morning to tackle the fourth and final week of the IronPAXChallenge. Anticipating that this installment of the Challenge would be tough to complete in our scheduled 45 minutes, YHC called for an early COT. Countorama, nameorama and a short prayer and then we were off on a short mosey to a local gym with pull up bars to get down to business.
Mogadishu Mile for time:
1 mile run
50 pull-ups
4 rounds of: 25 alternating leg traveling lunge steps and 25 air squats
4 rounds of: 25 merkins and 25 yard sprint
100 cinderblock squat thrusters
50 pull-ups
1 mile run.
After weeks one and two, YHC thought that F3 Greenwood was out to kill us. After week three, YHC was pretty sure he was right. This morning’s beat down eliminated any lingering doubt.
Julius Caesar may have said “veni vidi vici” when he made short work of Pharnaces II of Pontus at the Battle of Zela but if he had participated in the IronPAXChallenge he may have been singing a different tune. Something along the lines of “we came, we saw, we kicked our own butts so badly that it has been tough to straighten our arms or bend down to pick something up for the last four weeks.” Nevertheless, we did survive and hopefully made ourselves better in the process.
T claps to the PAX F3 Greenwood for challenging us. It has been a great reminder that we here at F3 Northshore are part of something much bigger.
Thanks for Q’ing Turbo and getting us VIP, behind the velvet rope access to that gym space. Pretty slick stuff.
