42 PAX of F3 Lexington stepped up and created a new in-town #CSAUP that hopefully can stick around and only get better.
This multi-mile/multi-pain station #CSAUP between the AOs of Hollow/CAT, Ambush, Shawshank, Arena and Surge was a success. It pushed PAX to go harder than they normally would and get better. Believe that the 2ndF is what pushed everyone to finish – to know that someone would be at Shawshank waiting to talk about how horrible this was – made you want to finish. It brought together all the PAX – ruckers and runners alike. No matter what the pace or what you were doing – you saw each other at the AOs and asked the question “how you doing?” to which you get the same look of “wondering why I signed up for this…”. I believe everyone truly had fun and enjoyed the camaraderie with each other.
Start at one AO, do a 10min pain station, run to the next AO, do another 10min pain station, repeat until you’ve made the loop back to where started. It’s about a 17-mile loop around the AOs, which ended up being a little over 18 miles when you include the bootcamps.
Below is what we did at each AO.
- Shawshank – Gibson Road Soccer Complex (QIC: Cheers)
In remembrance of the passing of President Bush we did 41 reps of each dips, incline merkins, decline merkins, regular merkins and BBSUs.
