Begin the Begin
QIC: Spamalot
Date: 04/27/20
PAX: All F3 Winston-Salem Pax
Where to begin? A lot has happened since the week of March 16, when we shut down our beloved AOs. As you can imagine, that decision was a complicated and painful one to make. To give you all some idea, YHC reached out to four different regions within F3 Nation. They all were in the process of shutting down. I also reached out to 10 of our own Winston-Salem pax who are medical professionals. At that that time, there was not a clear consensus or prevailing opinion among them.
Given what we knew then (and what we know now), the decision was made to close the AOs.
Fast forward to today. While some things have remained the same, a lot has changed.
YHC has watched Dr. Ohl’s weekly briefings, and Governor Cooper’s decision to relax the stay at home order on May 8th. YHC also reached out to the same 10 local medical pax. This time, their opinion was unanimous. Provided that we adhere to strict social distancing during our workouts, we can (and should) return to the gloom.
Armed with that opinion, YHC reached out to the local leadership pax and site Qs. They concurred in the decision.
THUS, assuming that the stay at home order expires on May 8th, we will reopen our AOs beginning Monday May 11.
Further communication will be sent regarding what these workouts will look like. But, you probably know. Social distancing is key. No partner work. Keeping the workout to 10 or fewer men. This means if you are the Q and 12 guys show up, you need to be prepared to break the group up into 2 smaller groups and have another pax Q that group.
And above all else…if you are sick – stay home! If you have been exposed to someone who is sick – stay home! It is not about you, it is about the guy next to you. Or their wife, child, grandmother, or uncle.
These details will be worked out in the next two weeks.
If we are smart about this, YHC is confident that we can make it work.
Aye!
