How the years fly by

12 outstanding warriors showed up for battle today at WDog.  The task were difficult, but all were successful in YHC’s one year anniversary with F3.  Here is what happened:

COP – SSHs, DKs, LBCs, Merkins

Mosey to the field in front of the Carillon.

Triple Sprints:  In a team of 3, two members of the group are on one side of the field.  The other is one the opposite side of the field.  One member sprints across the field.  When he reaches the other side, his teammate sprints back.  After every sprint, individuals did 5 burpees.  When all teammates had completed 5 sprints, the team bear crawled to the center and planked.  After all PAX reached the center, the PAX crab walked to the hill.

Mosey to the side of the Carillon.

8 Minutes of Agony:  10 Donkey Kicks, 10 jump lunges, run to the tree (about 75 feet), 10 rotating elbow planks, 10 two-count Mountain Climbers, bear crawl back to the Carillon.  Repeat as many times as you can for 8 minutes.

YHC was really excited today at his first attempt to Q at the Carillon for his one year anniversary with F3.  YHC remembered the advice Lab Rat gave to him for his VQ at Daville back in August:  You need to make your first Q hard.  YHC felt he was ready for that challenge in his VQ at WDog and believes that mission was accomplished today.  The weather being around 49 degrees was perfect for today’s workout.  All PAX members performed well with every task.

YHC has really enjoyed his year with F3 and looks forward to many additional years.  Thank you to Lab Rat for EHing YHC a year ago.  Thank you to all the PAX members as well for your fellowship during the past year.  YHC has been able to visit AOs in the city, the southside, the west end, and Mechanicsville and has enjoyed every experience.  The Carillon is such an amazing AO as well.  Growing up in the city, YHC looks forward to every opportunity to workout there.
