14 Aftonians ventured into the warm made the important 1st step of their day by beating the fartsack and  showing in the gloom on this perfecto Wednesday morning.  Being the most highly anticipated beatdown of the year (or something like that)… YHC had to make sure the pax had all the fun they could handle at the annual Cinco de Mayo Pain Fiesta in Dorton Park.  This fiesta had a little bit of everything… some tunes via the Mariachi band, some chatter, and a pequeña amount of pain.  Thank you all for showing and playing along!  It went something like this.

Time to wake up the pax with a little dancing.  Yes, you guessed it… Burp-arena.  When you hear Macarena it’s burpee time…SSH during your down time.  This was a real crowd favorite based on the initial mumble chatter.

“Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of the Mexican victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The Mexican army won the battle, despite being smaller and ill-equipped, proving that strength comes from within.” 

A big part of the “strength from within” for YHC comes from my F3 brothers. Let’s work to share it with others and continue to pay the gifts of F3 forward.  #ironsharpensiron
