YHC had only done WIB once, and was all set for a “WIB VQ” one day before the f3 Phase One “hiatus” in March. The site-Q managed to get me back on the docket, and I knew some of the heavy hitters would probably be posting and tried to come up with a worthy beatdown. Arriving at the Publix parking lot early to set up the circuits YHC had trouble figuring out the ideal placement. Just in time, H.O.G., Litterbox and Rootcanal appeared, and after some running around in the Gloom helped me get it all set up. BAM and Starfish were smiling in anticipation of a “pleasant” workout. Quick warm-o-rama and we were off to the races.

Given YHC’s limited experience with WIB he perused a number of backblasts and with some tweaking came up with the circuits. However, he quickly realized it was harder than it looked, and soon felt like Coyote getting slammed by a bunch of Roadrunners. YHC was also especially pleased to see the looks of pain on the faces of the heavy-hitters upon completion (everyone else). In typical f3 fashion it somehow all got related to the ‘perfect country song’ (You Never Even Called Me By My Name). All were curious about creator of the original beatdown, who will remain the The PAX-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named (aka #Voldepax).
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Put August 28-29 on the calendar for the upcoming Schmedfest, see H.O.G. for more information on plans.

PRAYER REQUESTS
For our country and all those dealing with stress and difficulties during these trying times.
Super impressed at the strong push by every single PAX – getting to start out the day with you men always energizes the day and inspires me to be better in every way. Thanks for the keys, Burns!
