Conditions:
A full moon and clear sky set the mood for 10 of F3 Classic City’s new and returning pax to undertake week 1 of the Iron Pax Challenge. 5 pax had their first taste of F3 at the launch this past Saturday, so T-claps to them for jumping straight into one of F3 Nation’s most demanding challenges.

The Thang:
YHC gave the disclaimer and showed proper form for the five movements in the week 1 beatdown.

3 burpees EMoM (every minute on the minute)

50 Hand Release-Release Merkins
100 Leg Raises
150 Jungle Boi (Jump) Squats
200 Big Boy Situps
250 Lunges (single count)

Finished off with count-o-rama and name-o-rama.

Grass-Caked Naked Moleskin:
– The general consensus was that the SmartWOD EMOM timer recommended by Greenwood’s BenGay is definitely defective. The “minutes” being counted could not have been more than 45 seconds long and resulted in unnecessary burpee suffering. We want our money back.

– Flo (corrected from Float on Saturday) wins the mumblechatter award. Between comments about Dunlap disease, flatulence (what would an F3 workout be without some middle school humor?), hunting season, and the lying EMOM timer, Flo lightened the mood and the general level of suffering. He also gave YHC a great push to finish the workout strong.

– Huge T-Claps to our FNG Dolittle, who came straight from a 12-hour night shift at the UGA vet hospital to post for his first F3 workout. That’s hardcore.

Announcements:
– Stroke Seat has the Q this Saturday for Week 2, where we’ll focus on the 2nd F of F3.
– IPC week 2 next Thursday – same time, same place, more unnecessary self-inflicted suffering.
– Discussion of adding a mid-week workout in Watkinsville/Bogart and/or Winder has already started! Stay tuned and hop on Slack to discuss ideas if you’re not already on.
