After months of telling Lab Rat I would eventually post, on Tuesday, May 2, 2016, it was time. There was lightning outside. There’s no way anybody will be outside at Atlee High School exercising. As YHC pulled into the parking lot a few minutes after 5:30 AM, there were 3 circled up doing jumping jacks. At the end of the bootcamp, no nickname for YHC was determined. When YHC posted again on May 9, the name “Phonics” had been given.
10 years later, YHC shows up to DaPile on this Saturday, May 2, 2026 to see 2 preparing to begin the bootcamp without him. YHC spoke up and said this is my F3 anniversary and follow me. Off they went with several 20 poind dumbbells, a 25 pound plate, several jump ropes, and and several bands.

NMS:
YHC has really enjoined his 10 years with F3 and is grateful for Lap Rat EHing him.. From who was there today, it’s possible that YHC would not have gotten to know Opus and would have only know Corned Beef from Cross Country. Since our kids have all graduated, its likely we would have lost touch with each other. YHC hopes for many more years of F3 beatdowns to come.
