September 23rd, 2020 By Hop Hunter

12 HIM answered the bell for the final week of the 2020 Iron Pax Challenge.  Some had watched the video and knew what lie ahead, while others choose to go with the surprise option.  YHC doesn’t think any scenario reduces the suck in the end, but either way our pax were up to the challenge and gave it all they had.

Being that it was the final week, our F3 Greenwood brothers choose to go back to their beloved blocks and make us work hard to earn those final steps across the 2020 finish line.  We were introduced to Murder Bunnies for the 1st time (and hopefully the last) and forced to dig deep to get thru this one.

It went something like this…

 

Warm-a-rama

Mosey a quick lap around the parking lot and circle up.
SSH x20 IC,  Penny Pickers x10 IC, Mountain Climber x20 IC

 

 

The Thang

 

Pax did a quick mosey to the field by the tennis courts.  YHC and a few other pax ran thru a quick demo and explanation of the exercises, pointed out the Cones spaced at 25 yards (thanks to Big Blue), followed by the ringing of the start bell.

For those that missed out on the fun…

Murder Bunnies:  Stand with feet slightly more than shoulder width apart with block longways between them. Bend over and grab the block, lift it a few inches off the ground and move it fwd until you can’t reach. Then, put the block down, transition your weight to the block(thru your hands) and hop (think burpee) your feet back to where they are on either side of the block.

Big thanks to the men of Afton for stepping up and playing along during the 2020 Iron Pax Challenge.  It was tough, as we knew it would be… but we did it anyway.  #respect.  Now it’s back to following the lead of our own brothers that step up and Q each week.  If you haven’t led before, give it a try.  Remember that leading is part of the F3 journey, we will help you, and you will not be alone.  #ironsharpensIron
