With Churham’s 9th Anniversary to be celebrated next week at Ramses, YHC has been brushing up on history. An unexpected opening on the Q-sheet was a chance to throwback and get after it like the old-heads—when men were men, and all Churham men were Ramses men. And so a modified version of the 2nd-ever Churham beatdown emerged (original below today’s backblast and linked on the Ramses Q-sheet).

SF was planted at the OEC for another beatdown extravaganze. YHC, always impressed with the fitness of the Men of Ramses was leading from the 6 and proud to join the PAX.

In F3 we work for hard things to learn how to do hard things throughout our lives. As men, humility and vulnerability are among the hardest and most important—striving to be encouraging and vulnerable, humbled alongside one another, we help each other to do the hard things in our lives and for those we love.
