What an amazing morning it was, especially for a mid-summer gloom (weather-wise – “amazing” wouldn’t be the word to describe the workout). Temps in the lower 60’s, and modest humidity compared to normal/recent soupiness levels. YHC was pleasantly surprised at the turn-out, given that The Abyss was celebrating it’s 1 year anniversary, with Dark Helmet on Q. We also had a couple 2.0s join us, though Sharkbait can hardly be considered a typical “2.0” since he is faster than most other pax. FNG “Yoshi” was the other 2.0, and belonged to Straight-Up. Great to see youths up early to put in some hard work!

Mosey to west side of school.

Warm-up COP

• SSH – namo-o-rama style where instead of counting, each pax said their name, working our way round the circle

Mosey to the field:

* Seal-team sit-ups to 20 (single count)

Thanks to Fishsticks for allowing me to Q Pantheon, and for great support and hard work of the pax. Also a quick shoutout to those taking F3 out to the community (like Paradise and CAH). They set the bar for being #HIMs and are helping define what F3 is all about.
