IronPax Challenge #2 in the Furnace

8 PAX showed for the IronPAX Challenge Week #2, proving to YHC that the challenge didn’t scare them away last week, but vacations took precedent.  Much pre-workout chatter about the search for the perfect cinder block for the workout and, of course, Boyant’s newest fashion statement.

Equipment haul back to the flag

COT:
Numorama
Namorama – 21 yo FNG dubbed Head and Shoulders based on his performance and his affection for the Pittsburgh Steelers (Troy Palamolu (sp?))
A word from YHC on the expectation that leaders step up and serve and since we never know what that serve will entail physically we must strive to continually accelerate in preparation
Intentions – Matthew with nerve condition, Retail’s married friends going enduring death of mother, kids returning to school, and something else that YHC forgot, but the sky Q did not

T-claps to Head and Shoulders for showing the veterans a thing or two about grit and not quitting
T-claps to Boyant for continuing the fashion trend and displays of excellent fitness
T-claps to Spike for focus on workout prep this week and delivering cinder blocks in a world that apparently does not have 25 pound cinder blocks despite what F3Greenwood says
