Like children’s hearts yern for the mines, YHCs heart yerns for Iron Pax Challenge! As we’re on the cusp of YHCs 1 year, I couldn’t help but reflect on the single time I almost walked away from it all, and that was 2024 IPC Week 0. So what better way to celebrate a 1 year than the most defining part of my F3 – F1 experience and share it with fellow PAX that have not yet experienced it.
3 IPChallengers emerged from the gloom for a morning they wouldn’t forget! Here’s what the runner witnessed!
Mosey 1/3 mi for Warmarama at the E Octagon
- Imperial Walkers IC
- Don Quixotes IC
- Deadman Phelps
- Helicopters
- Fudd/Wilsons Wife
- Mosey to the bank and grab a coupon, walk it back to the E Octagon
Week 0 Half – EMOM Set
– 1st round 50 Squat Thrusters – Every minute that EMOM beeps drop and do 5 burpees to buy your way back in to counting those Thrusters.
-Once completed Run 400 meters
-2nd Round 50 Burpees – The internal battle makes itself known as doubt creeps in, shut that doubt off and keep pushing. That EMOM timer becomes relentless! You buy your way back in with 5 Thrusters only to come up for air and manage to get a couple of burpees checked off before the EMOM demands you stop again for 5 more Thrusters. You can shut off your mind and all the noise and push your body, but that one noise you can’t avoid is that heartless, abysmal EMOM timer that drags you into the dark and away from your goal.
We overcame the EMOM, Burpees and Thrusters victoriously and finished with a 1 Mi victory lap before returning the coupons to their rightful place and moseyed back to the cars.
Thanks for battling this one out with me men!
