The ‘ol NG gonna whoop ya!

A salty dozen Forge vets truly embraced the suck this morning taking on the New Glory challenge. Their venerable Q threw down the gauntlet that completing three rounds in 30 minutes is the gold standard for badass fitness level, and these HIM’s showed UP!

The THANG:

WARMERAMA:

Mosey loop around the New Glory course to review the expected exercises
Circle up at the flag for a brief warm up and stretch to get the body fully limbered up

THE NEW GLORY:

The Forge’s own semi-regular fitness litmus test, to provide PAX the opportunity to monitor their individual physical progress
Timeframe: 30 minutes
Style: BEST form possible, You vs YOU!
THE CIRCUIT:
Starting point at the Shovel Flag
0540 STARTING BELL

NMS: Amazing effort by the PAX today with more HIM’s reaching the 3.0 goal than ever before! Unclear whether the Forge PAX fitness level is just that much better over the years, or if the badass gauntlet thrown out by YHC inspired some extra push, but either way WELL DONE FELLAS! Yours AYE! ~DTH
