PAX (6): Deep dish, Mayhem, No-See-Um, Turbine, uga

Preamble:

It occurred to me we are just six months away from Iron Pax so we must start getting ready. What started as a potential 'best of' all the years turned into just pulling from the first nationwide year of 2018. Sweep3r made a comment about being scared of me but 5 other pax certainly were not. A bad disclaimer (I really do want to be there and know I need to be but my body still ached from hillseeker and just general lack of movement the last week) but we were off.

The Thang:

  • I found the old plans for Iron Pax and got us right into this round which was originally for time.
    • 50 Squats
    • 40 Big Bois
    • 30 Mercans
    • 20 Bonnie Blairs
    • 10 Burpees
    • 400 m Run
  • 4 rounds of that and we certainly beat our time from back in 2018 (or assume so because the original results don't seem to list anybody from this morning https://f3greenwood.org/ironpax/archive). It was also the first year we realized F3 had world record breaking athletes knocking out these exercises.
  • Plenty of time to kill so we stuck to format but changed up the exercises. All of this was accompanied by a well praised playlist.
    • 50 Curls
    • 40 LBCs
    • 30 Presses
    • 20 American Hammers
    • 10 Jump Squats
    • 400 m Lap
  • We got through the 4 rounds except the last lap (well and Deepdish apparently with a hefty goal this year just took off to run instead)
  • Back to the flag for a bit of lil baby flutters and time.

COT:

Prayers for No-See-Um's week Chatter of the F3 effect which has carried me lately and helped Mayhem reach goals on Six Hills over the weekend. I reminisced of going to the gym way back in the day and knocking out 3 sets of 10 curls and believed I was getting in shape. I obviously accomplish so much more surrounded by this group. Hightail it to Rubicon for Packzkis

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Always a pleasure to lead even when I start off a bit grumpy.
