F3 Valley Forge @ The Blast Furnace
Saturday 08/31/2019
Conditions : 64 degrees, nice and cool and dry.
IronPax Challenge Week 0
Q : Boyant
Despite this being a “challenge week,” 2 HIM arrived at 5:30a for a 5 mile preworkout run. YHC wasn’t sure if they were insane, or just gluttons for punishment. Turns out they were STILL the fastest two of our group, which makes me wonder how much faster they would have been without that 5 mile warmup??
Then at 6:30, the real fun began.
13 PAX arrived for the Week 0 IronPAX Challenge! A Disclaimer was given and accepted, and a mosey commenced, approximately 1 mile to the Phoenixville High School track.
On the track, Boyant explained the workout :
6 rounds each of :
– (24) Squats
– (24) Merkins
– (24) Walking Lunges (each side, so 48 total)
– 400m lap (6 laps = 1.5 miles)
What seemed simple on paper then turned into a sweatfest, as we all worked hard, and got better, trying to push ourselves.

Boyant 21:50
Hops 22:01
DialUp 23:24
