YHC circled this date on the calendar months ago and staked a claim to the Vortex Q. One year ago, Assisi challenged me to come out to F3, and the fellowship and the fitness has profoundly shaped my year–and entirely for the better. What better way to say thank you than through trying to break the Vortex clan?

On an oppressive May morning, 16 PAX assembled at Cedar Falls Park for their regularly scheduled beatdown. Two (Peach and Nightshift) arrived early for some mini-murph action.

Warmup:

Lap

SSH/IW/Good Morning/WMH/30 second free stretch.

The Thang:

While exercising with the men of F3 Austin a few weeks back, they introduced YHC to the Millennial, which derives its name first from the fact that it covers 1000 meters interspersed with 1000 exercises, and second from the fact that everyone hates it. With only 45 minutes to work with, PAX teamed up for a partner millennial, with one partner running while the other performed an exercise, with combined totals reaching 100 per exercise. Exercises were as follows:

Right off the bat, 100 burpees, followed by (in some order) LBCs, Body Weight Squats, Merkins, Lunges, Cadence-Count Flutter Kicks, Cadence Count Russian Hammers, an exercise that escapes YHC at the moment, more Squats, more Merkins.

PAX certainly covered far more than 1000 meters (I clocked between 2.5 and 3 miles), and left no time for MARY.

Announcements:

Conjunction Junction tomorrow, the Moose Thursday. Welcome back to Assisi. Congrats to all the ruckers who completed the Heavy in Black Mountain.
