After last week’s debacle, YHC made sure he wasn’t going to be late for this edition of the Iron Pax Challenge.

Armed with a giant weinke, tunes, a stop watch, and hand sanitizer, I pulled Ol’ Blue into the lot at 5:25, just ahead of @disaster.

As I arranged everything, more Pax began to arrive and I wondered to myself “how many of them will come do this and how many will follow @sandman for his promised boot camp?” After getting a look at my weinke, all 10 of us stayed and conquered Week 0 of the Iron Pax Challenge.

A short disclaimer was given and we moseyed around the lot before circling up by the truck for…

Warmarama

• SSH x19
• IST x15
• Windmill x10
• Mountain Climbers x15
• Arm Circle/Michael Phelps

We then gathered around the truck bed as YHC explained today’s challenge, which was pretty simple. Complete the below set of exercises four times as fast as you could. I emphasized good form should take precedent over speed.

The Thang

• 50 Air Squats
• 40 Big Boy Situps
• 30 Merkins
• 20 Jump Lunges (2=)
• 10 Burpees
• 400M Run (we ran from our spot to the greenway/cartpath five-way intersection and back)
