Kamikaze Pain Clock with a Tribute to Zamperini


18 Pax were in attendance for the morning Estate beat down.  Majority of us were doubling down from Excelsior and 3 mighty Pax – Professor, Black Eyed Pea and Tantrum completed the trifecta including the Standard @ 5.30am.  Recognition to our traveling MECA brother Glock, and we were glad you could join us!

WD – Binary

WB – Sponge Bob

This is how it all started – Ghost Flag Pledge of Allegiance and we were off on an F2 pace to warm-up from the Excelsior. We ran the length of the parking lot up/back.  Continue to mosey to the lower field through the playground Welcome gate. Lego leapt and nearly hit his head on the sign. I was thinking, “that Dude can sky”.

Moleskin:

  1. Painclock was painful.  The Q could have done a better job explaining the counts. Some groups were catching others. When the pairs completed they began to plank it out.  YHC and Glock could not hear the Pax above the music.  So there was some Pax confusion – “just live with it”.  Lego and partner kept cruising along and completed 1.5x turns. Great work!
  2. YHC broke off the Pain Clock Repeato, as this AO has a lot to offer and was eager to get to the Cinder blocks
  3. Parking lot of Pain is always crowd pleaser. If you were not smoked, you did push yourself enough.  TNT by AC/DC was the music selection at the moment. It helped us power through. The Zamperini overhead press was a tribute the man who was a US WWII prisoner of war survivor, Christian evangelist and Olympic distance runner.  While he holds some incredible endurance strength record our Pax paid tribute with 3min of Zamperini.
  4. There are some serious thoroughbreds at the Estate: Lego, Ultraman, Burgoo and two others that were flash during the Sprints. I could not even see them.
  5. Special shout out to the CC and F3 brothers. The journey has been amazing thus far. I can only envision the F3 movement picking-up steam.  Also to Schneider who Eh’d me a year ago. He is on IR but making strides. I look forward to your return for F1 with the Pax.
  6. Tiramisu thank you taking us out with COT
  7. Finally and not least, thank you Professor for setting me up with the AO details and opportunity to lead. I am truly humbled by fine men of F3. I always get more from F3 than I give, and I hope you got what you came for.
