QIC: En Fuego
Conditions: A perfect 61 degrees
On August 14, 2018, the PAX of III Pillars underwent a physical assessment to kick off the school year, with YHC informing the PAX that we would reconvene to perform that same assessment at the end of the school year in order to measure our progress over the 9-month period. With YHC informing the PAX via slack what was waiting their arrival this week, the PAX showed up with their minds and bodies prepped and ready – Pumpkin Spice having visualized for hours a sub 22:00 performance and Princess Aurora knocking out a late-night Taco Bell run, stating his desire in seeking some flatulence-driven extra propulsion for the main event. With that…
0530 arrives, Pumpkin Spice lets PA know he’s coming after his 22:43 post that took top podium in August, we disclaim and then mosey up to the soccer field. WOR that included some WMH, LBAC, Moroccan night clubbing and Scorpion stretch. We wrap up WOR and head to the far end endzone – where YHC instructs one final time what’s about to go down in physical assessment round 2. It’s you against you out there, focus on proper form and let’s get after it.

Moleskin:
- The PAX definitely put in the work this morning – no merlots splashed but several held back as each PAX competed against oneself in pursuit of their own respective goals. All PAX came in sub 30 minutes – fantastic effort
- Props to Pumpkin – he boldly proclaimed at the onset he was going after sub 22:00 and taking home the gold medal in doing so. At 21:41, he delivered
- Props again to Boone’s at knocking 90 seconds off his time from August. I’m pretty sure YHC almost saw him breathe heavily toward the end.
- Tremendous F3 spirit shown throughout – lots of verbal encouragement tossed as PAX cheered and supported their brethren. Always great to see in the workouts
Job well done men – Honor to have led and appreciative to live out the gloom with each of you
