Well hot dog its almost September and 6 HIM posted to start the beginning of the IronPaxChallenge. Today’s theme was “LOREDO”. YHC was up and at em’ at the crack of dawn to measure out the exact 400m for the sprint part of the challenge. Of course here at F3Lutz, “if it is not difficult then we do not do it”, and so keeping with that theme YHC took the FOP and transformed the sprint portion from an easy pavement run into an all out mud run down through the playground and back. A quick disclaimer was given then we circled up real tight for the first exercise “The Wake Up Call.” A small, but ear piercingly loud air horn hidden in YHC’s pocket was activated upon a request for a “demonstration” and everyone looked alive and well so we were off!

MOLESKIN
- Absolutely incredible to see all PAX pushing themselves to the extreme today. Tremendously shaky legs felt by all from this challenge. Would not have been able to move the way we did without all PAX pulling together and motivating others to push themselves.
- Welcome back surprise as HAKA offered a self nomination for the 3rd F Q and was generously accepted by the group. Congrats and welcome we cannot wait to do good for others at his direction. Ronald McDonald House event coming October 27th! Need as many PAX as possible to volunteer for this event see Slack for details.
