Coach says Don’t Quit!

The inevitable confusion of a new AO meeting in a different parking lot of a familiar place led to YHC almost being late. For those attending in the future, parking for The Coaches Box is next to the actual coaches box at the baseball field. Also known as the band practice field with the painted football field on the parking lot.

WARMUP:
Given that YHC showed up confused, it seemed like a good idea to start with a mosey toward the other two parking lots typically utilized at FMHS. As soon as we reached that lot we saw a black Jeep confusingly creeping along. After parking in a random spot, we picked up Cheddah and continued our mosey to the school entrance.

– SSH x30
– Imperial Walker x15
– Merkin x10
– “what the hell are these called, oh yeah” Moroccan Nightclubs x15
– Dips on the benches x10

THE THANG:
Most back to the band practice field.

Band practice field:
– Bear crawl to the 10 – 1 Burpee
– Crawl bear back
– Bear crawl to the 20 – 2 Burpees
– Crawl bear back
– Continue to the 50 – 5 burpees
– Crawl bear back from the 50
– Run past the 50 to the 40 – 6 burpees
– Nur back
– Continue for the whole field finishing with 10 burpees and a Nur back to the start

This took way longer than expected so the second half of the weinke was cut short.

Mosey to the pull up bars (3 rounds)
– 10 pull ups (decrease by 1 each round)
– 20 merkins (decrease by 2 each round)
– 30 American Hammers (decrease by 3 each round)

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Doty Run this weekend
– Cannoli run next weekend

Thank you Cyclops for the opportunity! As he said, we started the day 3-0!!!

Konverging for Kenya

We are converging on 6/10 to host an epic beatdown @FMHS (fort mill high school) at 0600. 1 HR with a weinke designed by the PAX of F3 Nairobi! They will also be completing the workout as well.

The plan is to raise $$ to purchase a vehicle for transportation of PAX to workouts, supporting efforts to assist in community and coordinating donations etc. The need is tremendous and our financial support is magnified in Kenya.

Additionally we have submitted an application for a matching grant from the foundation. Not approved yet but hopefully it will be. Timeline would be mid June for the grant should it be approved! Lake Wylie and Rock Hill regions have been invited as well and are promoting in their regions.

Finally of course a tshirt is in the works and will hopefully be available for purchase before or at the event! Thanks PAX!!!

The Gladiator Games are Coming…

Its not often Trucker has a good idea, but credit is due where its due. YHC will revive the contest of champions where survival is the best case scenario. The object is to get to the end of the course as fast as you can, simple. Pax will start 2-5 minutes apart and fight their way to the end. This 20 minutes ass kick fest will have you taking the rest of the week off. Forget the UVU shxt. This is UV Everyone. Top time takes the title of Gladiator until the games return again….if they ever do. Last running of the bulls was nearly 8 years ago and a Gastonia Pax took the crown.

Lets see if all these cute little murphs and black diamond workouts have done anything to prepare you. There’s gonna be more than a sink there so be prepared for what’s beyond.

Synchronize your watches to converge at Catawba Ridge Football Parking Lot at a special start time of 5am. Ill take your reading this an an HC
