46 PAX and 4 FNGs gathered this morning at the latest Lexington AO at Rocky Creek Elementary School. For several weeks, Wee Wee and myself have been discussing this day and how it could go, what we should do, how do we get the word out, what kind of workouts can we do at the school and what should the name be. These are all important items of any AO location; however, today I think we learned that the most important part of the AO and the workout are the PAX themselves and the 4 FNG’s that showed up today. For me and I know for Wee Wee as well, it was great to see all the guys show up from all the different AO’s just showing support for this new AO. We’re looking forward to big things with this group and to continue what was started before us. So with that, we’ll get to the beatdown that had so many guys rolling on the ground in pain, well maybe just two – Grave Digger and Meatball.
Conditions: Nice and Muggy
