18 PAX ventured out to Slowburn this fine morning. YHC had all week to plan and trash talk with the Swamp about how this AO was going to painful and that if you posted at the Swamp, you were chicken. Well from the mubble chatter, it appears this AO was were the pain was.

As Thursday night slowly creped towards midnight, YHC was still wrestling with sleep. He actually thought about fartsacking but knew he didn’t want to be called out like CSPAN was when he fartsacked for his Q, and knew F3 is all about #accountability (and getting ready for the Mud Run). So the clock kept ticking as YHC watched the time slowly go by. So he decided to get up after only about 3 hours of sleep to go set up the course. Yes, a course, perfect AO set up to get a little mud run training in (though not anything like the Reservation). I always wondered why people thought slowburn meant slow, but in reality it means you will suffer a slow burn throughout your body as you workout and move on with your daily activities.

16 PAX moseyed to the Empire Pizza parking lot while 2 others thought it would be an easier to go for a run (what were they thinking??)
COP:
SSH
Windmills
IW
Squats
Merkins

The Course:
mossy to the start at the corner of Empire Pizza. Perform 5 burpees, run to the hill behind the dumpster and run up/down the hill 3xs, run back to opposite corner of Empire Pizza and complete 10 squats. Run behind the strip mall and half way down, complete 10 merkins. Finish running to back corner of Baxter Jumphouse and bear crawl to the front corner. Run along the “road” towards the hotel under construction and along the guiderail, complete 10 dips. Continue running around the backside of Lowes, stop and complete 10 derkins utilizing the guiderail. Continue running towards the sheds and complete 10 squats and then run to Sweet frogs for 10 reverse pull-ups. Rinse and repeat 2xs.

Finished with 3 minutes of Mary. It was well planned that Dugger so happened to be located in the middle of the PAX so he VQ’d the 3 minutes of Mary! Great work. We ended up running the course 3xs for approximately 2.8 miles….and they say Slowburn isn’t for runners (Santini and DD should have stayed!).

Announcements: 20/40 get your snacks in! USMC Mud Run (6 teams so far); CAH this Saturday.

Prayers: multiple prayers for health and recovery, Stang & wife for this week’s tough memory of losing their son to cancer, and for all other unspoken prayer.

As always, an honor to Q and work beside PAX like you all!!!
