THANG:
We’ve done the Mega Hill in a previous workout and QIC thought it should make a return as a Winter Hillympics competition. To even the playing field, instructions were given on the Mega Hill: venturing from the lowest point on campus by the front gate all the way up to the highest point at the top of the bleachers while stopping at 8 cones along the way for an exercise. It looked a little something like this:
Start at Cone #1:
Burpees x 10
Sprint to Cone #2 (about 80 yards):
Tuck Jumps x 20
Backward Run to Cone #3 (about 80 yards ending with sprint up 10 steps):
Merkins x 30
Sprint to Cone #4 (about 40-50 yards ending with sprint up 12 steps):
Mountain Climbers x 40
Bear Crawl to Cone #5 (about 15 yards and then 32 steps):
Toe Touches x 40
Broad Jump to Cone #6 (about 15 yards):
Merkins x 30
Crawl Bear to Cone #7 (about 15 yards):
Single Leg Donkey Kicks x 20 total
Stadium Steps to Cone #8 at the top of the bleachers (about 25-30 steps):
Squat x 10, Lunges x 10 total, Step Up x 10 total
We would rinse and repeat until time was called.
MARY:
Flutter Kicks x 30
WWI x 10
Burpees x 10
COT
UPDATED STANDINGS
Today, all PAX got 5 points for every completed Mega Hill. For those on the 4th attempt, a point was given for every cone you reached. Additionally, bonus points were awarded for the top three finishers (Big Bang 5 points, Funyuns 3 points, Prevac 1 point).
Prevac is trying to distance himself in the standings as he remains the leader.
Top Eleven:
| Prevac | 145 |
| Tampa Libra | 124 |
| Bagger Vance | 98 |
| Frugal | 84 |
| D’Mish | 77 |
| Funyuns | 64 |
| Headstud | 61 |
| Blue Mule | 58 |
| Pop-A-Lock | 57 |
| Venus | 53 |
| Big Bang | 53 |
FINAL THOUGHTS:
There’s not a chance I would have ever worked out in weather like we’ve had this week if it wasn’t for F3 and you all. I’m thankful for this brotherhood and accountability – it makes me better in a lot of ways.
It was a pleasure to have Faulkner back with us today. He shared a little about what F3 has meant to him in England as he’s worked out with us from afar. I know he’s missed around here, but excited what God is doing in and through his family across the pond.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Armada is this Saturday. Check out Slack for more info, but should be a party.

Till Next Time,
