The Pit of PAIN!!!!

7 faithful Pax arose to the crisp gloom and decided to get better at Snake Pit. YHC had thought that he had reconned Snake Pit to it’s fullest potential after last month’s tour-de-campus workout but after Saturday’s convergence he learned he was mistaken and was introduced to a beautiful area below the main football field that YHC dubbed the Pain Pit. (Sorry, I like naming things). The Pain Pit is an F3 QICs dream. It has blocks and bigger blocks and tires and bigger tires the possibilities are endless. With a head full of hope and a Weinke full of wonder YHC proceeded to lead the Pax on a snotwarbler that is guaranteed to make you better or you get your money back.

  • Moleskin:
  • Awesome effort by the entire Pax. The step-climbers of Snake Pit always step it up for whatever fun torture YHC can come up with.
  • Cobains to the Pax for going over time once again. I just have so much fun when I’m at Snake Pit I just don’t want it to end.
  • There’s always that one guy who zigs when everyone else zags. enough said.
  • Not to self: add more recovery time in between offset merkins. YHC had to strain to squeak out the last of the cadence on that one. I know, I know, don’t Q it if you can’t do it.
  • After Qing Boneyard a few times YHC seems to be squeezing more pain and less running into all of his Qs.  If you miss the running come to Stride or the yet-to-be-named-as-far-as-I-know running AO at Pilgrim Church.

Prayer Request:
