The Pleasure Was All Mine

November 30, 2018

WHEN: 11/30/2018
QIC: Golden Pinky
PAX: Bright Idea, Boyardee, Chum, Closer, Cricket, Dive, Dueling Banjos, Duplo, Germ, Gomer, Griswold, HAL, ICE, Kosher, Marky Mark, Moore, Nitro (RESPECT), Paperboy, Rambler, Stubbs, Zook

A lot has changed in just 5 short months since YHC departed the cozy Briar Chapel confines and set off to the place where the stars at night are big and bright. What once was called an ‘Indian Run’ is now referred to as the ‘Ricky Bobby’, Griswold has become a hardcore rucker, and we now have 2 Friday AOs in Briar Chapel.

Yet, even with all of these changes and time YHC has been away, one thing became immediately clear as YHC returned to the familiar North Carolina gloom to celebrate 1 year of F3: the bond YHC shared with his original F3 brothers was still as strong as ever.

Today, the PAX witnessed their (presumably) first F3 ménage (1 Q taking on 2 AOs) and then immediately set a reminder to avoid YHC’s 2-year anniversary return!

6 PAX arrived unreasonably early to carry heavy weight on their backs, walk briskly around the neighborhood, and perform some PT. @Commodore and @Enigma joined the PAX for the majority of this extra credit opportunity

WARM-UP

14 Mustang PAX performed a spontaneous Traveling Merkin Ladder from 1, up to 10 and back down to 1 to get to The Wall AO. Chum kept the Q spot warm for YHC until the Mustang PAX arrived and joined the 8 Wall PAX.

BOM

This last year of F3 has been absolutely life-changing for me. This group has inspired me to approach fitness in a dramatically different way – with other men by your side, pushing each other to get better (both in fitness and as men). I joined F3 at such a critical time in my life, as this year has been filled with so many major life milestones (birth of first child, relocation to Austin, finding a new job). Having brothers by my side to help carry the load when it became unbearable made all the difference.

You all continue to be a daily inspiration to me and the spirit that you have brought to F3 Churham is the same spirit I carry with me into every F3 Austin workout. Thank you for being the High Impact Men that you are, for continually pushing me to be a better man, and for being my brothers.

SYITG again soon
