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.

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.

Man, I gotta stop telling people that, you dang near killed me today! Awesome job this morning, I’d be lying if I said can’t wait for tomorrow, but I’ll be there. Totally stealing the triple sprints, btw. Good chance of seeing that again Saturday!
Glad to have you around, buddy.
Phonics has a great delivery…starting with a smile and friendly conversation, then proceeds to deliver a slow increasingly painful experience…Just so happens to be the same thing I said after my last prostate exam.
Congrats on the one year and the difference you make with F3!
Phonics, Congrats on making it a year, and delivering an Epic, but friendly beat down today.!
Congrats. Thanks for being out there with a smile…whatever the pain level.
Yeah Buddy! Way to bring the pain Phonics. Triple Sprints were no joke. At this point I have totally blocked 8 minutes of heaven or whatever the hell you called it out of my mind. Much like TYAs tights, I have totally erased the haunting memory. Great Q brotha!!
Happy Anniversary Phonics ! Solid beatdown…
Well done fella’s..
See y’all in the gloom..
