One Year Later…This Workout is Still Awful

One Year Later…This Workout is Still Awful

QIC: Spamalot

Date: 08/19/17

PAX: Splash, Ripple, Root Canal, Thistle, Boo-Boo, Mickey, Eight-Penny (F3 Wilmington), Spamalot

One year ago today, after some consistent EHing by Splash, YHC took the first of many DRP and posted to my first F3 beatdown.  It was a convergence of IS and Purgatory, with the Qs being The Elmer Fudd and Bam!

And it sucked.

Despite the fact that YHC dry-heaved during the course of that workout, YHC has loved every horrible minute of the past year.  To honor the past year, and to test the theory that the workouts do not get easier, you get stronger, YHC decided to replicate that fateful beatdown.

Thus, at the appointed time and with a visitor from F3 Wilmington – welcome Eight Penny! we began:

NMM

• Thanks to the entire DashPax for a truly wonderful year.  YHC has learned a lot about myself and has been pushed by a lot of #HIM
• Special thanks to Splash – without this EH, YHC never would have taken that first step.  Since then, YHC may have gone a tiny bit headfirst into F3.
• Great meeting Eight Penny!!
• Grass was nice and wet for the pax on the bear crawl hill climb
• Great work all around!
• Shmedfest is next Saturday – check Twitter for details!
