8 men came out in the gloom and suffocating humidity to Popeyes on Wednesday, August 28th at 5:30am to try their hand at the IronPax Preseason challenge.
YHC started with the basic disclaimer at 5:29am and led the pax in a 400 meter warmup mosey to establish the lap for the run of this morning’s challenge.
The Thang
24 squats, 24 merkins, 24 lunge steps (2 count as 1), and a 400 meter run is one lap. The goal is to complete six in the fastest time possible. Simple but not easy, especially in the humid conditions.
The Times
Two Yutes – 23:57
Tua – 27:25
RevSox – 30:09
Hokie – 32:47
BooBoo – 34:01
Darkwing Duck – 37:36
KennerBrah – 39:21
Chips – 42:02
Tclaps to Two Yutes for coming in first with a dominate time under 24 minutes!
Tua for finishing 2nd after starting F3 only a couple of months ago. He’s going to be gunning for Mahatma soon.
BooBoo for picking up the Uptowner AO Q (if you ask me the Uptowner Q has been slacking off on his Q duties lately, it’ll be great to see fresh blood restore life to the Uptowner)
Hokie for improving on his previous time for the IronPax preason by an insane 8 minutes. Hokie basically lapped his Monday time.
Darkwing Duck for improving in leaps and bounds since his F3 start and making me feel guilty for being more consistent to the Metairie workouts than I am.
KennerBrah for putting all of us young guys to shame with his work ethic.
Chips for pushing through to the end and ensuring that every Pax member left this morning stronger and faster than when he arrived.
The Conclusion
Count-Off, Name-O-Rama, Chips continued with last lunge walks as we counted off and the Pax ran Chips last lap with him. Announcements and Prayer in the extra sweaty ball of man.
