32 MeCa Pax took the red hill, I mean red pill, this morning at MeCa’s premier hill workout. Here’s the routine….each loop is 1.8 miles and gets you 285 ft of elevation gain….this adds up quickly to a stout workout. Do this loop as many times as you can:

1. Start at the Abington subdivision pool parking lot on French Fields
2. Down the hill on French Fields to the cul-de-sac and back up
3. Left on Burnage Hall
4. Left on Hounslow Ln to the cul-de-sac and then back up
5. Right on Burnage Hall
6. Right on Grovesnor St. to cul-de-sac and then back up
7. Left on Burnage Hall
8. Right on French Fields back to pool parking lot

• 32 is a record number for the Pitchfork, guys! Thanks for defeating the fartsack and conquering this beast with YHC this morning. I know there were many Pitchfork first timers this morning. I hope it lived up to your expectations. Here is my estimation of the first timers (could be wrong on some): Robin, Foghorn, Sterling, The Blip, Ho-H, Mayhem, Landlord, Man Down, 2-Step, Laser, R2D2, Crabs….congrats guys!
• This summertime hill workout gained popularity with the BRR crowd, because of its demanding hills, but there were many non-BRR Pax that took on this beast this morning just because it is there! That’s the F3 spirit!!
• Couldn’t think of a better way to start my 64th birthday than taking on these hills with 31 strong F3 Brothers. F3 has been an absolute breath of fresh air for YHC for the past 5+ years.
• As YHC said in COT, we all ‘get-it’ about F3. There are so many workout options all over the place these days, but we know that the magic of F3 is in the 2nd and 3rd F’s.
• There are still many men in our communities who would really benefit, as we all have, from F3…..keep talking it up!

• Remember and pray for Gary Burton (Othello friend) who is having heart surgery
