One of my favorite things about Qing is getting to plan the WO. I like to try new things & I love passing out a beat down to the attending PAX. With the IronPAXChallenge I don’t get to plan the WO, but this morning the 9 PAX who posted definitely got a beat down.
Conditions: A clear sky (saw 1 meteor fly by) 64 degrees & 98% humidity.
Gearlander: Black Nike tank, grey Nike shorts, grey Reebok’s, & a blue Buff.
PAX
- Catfish
- Chapo
- Huggies
- Jitterbug (R)
- Kilo
- McAfee
- Nino (QIC)
- Pork Chop
- Worm
Since this was a timed WO we met in the parking lot where I’d already gotten out the coupons & set up cones needed for the running portion of the WO.
Everyone circled up, I gave the disclaimer that I am not a professional, each individual was there on their on free will, everything I say to do is a suggestion, & to modify as needed. Although modifying would likely impact your score. With that we were under way.
COP
- 25 SSH IC
- Arm Circles (front, then back)
- Calf Stretches
With the PAX loose we all lined up along the baseline cones behind a coupon. I explained the WO to the PAX (see below). According to the Pre-Blast for this WO the coupons should weigh 25-35 lbs., but of the coupons at The Posh the lightest one weighed 37.4 lbs. With everyone ready I turned on some music, the timer, & we got to work.
The Thang
Here are the individual results for each PAX showing their number of reps per exercise & their cumulative number of reps for the WO. Similar to Week 1 of the IronPAXChallenge Catfish & McAfee showed they’re a couple of the strongest PAX within F3Louisville. I’d put their performance(s) up against any other region in F3Nation. Had they had a 24 lb. or even 30 lb. weighted coupon I can only imagine what kind of numbers they would’ve put up.

I thanked the SkyQ for another day. After hearing the list of people in the lives of our PAX I tried to give perspective. We were complaining about the weight of our coupons being 10-13 lbs. more than was put out in the Challenge Pre-Blast. In comparison to what others in our lives are or may be going through this is NOTHING. I asked the SkyQ to give us the strength & courage to be the leaders needed in our homes & community.
As always, it’s humbling to lead a group of HIMs.
Nino out.
