Looked Good on Paper

Sixteen Hardwood Studs arrived at the plush fields of No Toll this morning to see what YHC had in store for an epic beatdown for the ages. Fields being a bit waterlogged caused an audible in the plans. To the best of memory, this is how it all went down.

5.30 struck, slow mosey to the far end of the parking lot.

Numberama, Namarama, Announcements, YHC took us out

NMS: Hightower work out was performed in honor of fallen F3 brother and Myrtle Beach police officer Jacob (Hightower) Hancher. Killed in the line of duty last week.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, police Officer Jacob Hancher fatally shot in line of duty

5 and 9 were based on the Bible Verse Matthew 5:9 – Blessed are the peacekeepers, for they will be called children of God.

Mumble Chatter over the burpees until we got to the Inchworm 11’s which took the toll on the shoulders. As was said numerous times by Wilson, this routine looked good on paper but was brutal in execution.

NMMS: At 5.25, a single enthusiast (named Sparky by the PAX) sprinted by the awaiting PAX and was exercising on his own until he decided to join for the 2nd half of the workout. Hopefully will see him back in the future.

Announcements:

Beer Mile (non F3 event) is Saturday – see slack for details
