Archives: Iron PAX Returns to Hampton Roads

  • When: 20181201
  • QIC: Dreamliner
  • The PAX: Funny Car, Cowbell, Snowman, Buoy, SubMac, Marvel, Catapult, Dreamliner
  • Road closures and Christmas lights did not hinder the 8 PAX that took their daily red pill (#DRP) on Sat. Expect similar parking situation from now until Christmas. Best place to park is Marriot parking deck.

    The Thang:
    Extended warm-a-rama to account for reduced parking/road closures.

    Mosey to fountain.

    Revamped Iron PAX Week 1 Challenge (Partner style):
    PAX #1: 50 squats
    PAX #2: 40 big boy situps
    PAX #1: 30 merkins
    PAX #2: 20 Bonnie Blair’s (aka jump lunges)
    PAX #1: 10 burpees
    PAX #2: 10 burpees
    PAX #1: Run 1 lap around fountain
    Repeat four times with PAX switching roles each round (i.e., PAX #2 has squats, merkins, burpees, and the run in round 2).

    Mosey back to flags where coupons (aka cinder blocks) were already strategically placed.

    Shortened Iron PAX Week 2 Challenge (Excercises #2 and #4)
    8 minute AMRAP of 25 curls and 50 yard run (25 yard out and back).
    2 minute rest
    6 minute AMRAP of 25 man makers (aka burpee with a cinder block) and 50 yard run (25 yard out and back).

    Return coupons to their hiding place.

    Circle of Trust (COT):
    YHC shared his thoughts of “The Tipping Point.” The book discusses the little details that cause a movement to take off, to tip. YHC read the book through the lens of F3. The book reminded me of how God can use all things, even the little ones, for the “good of those who love him and are called according his purpose.”

    Romans 8:28 (ESV) “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”

    Prayer requests.
    Ball of Man.
