I must admit I'm envious of some of the PAX who can arrive at an AO 5 minutes before a workout, with no preparation, do a quick visual scan of the landscape, and immediately and seamlessly come up with a 45 minute beatdown. So when I first heard of the "OG weeks" a few months ago from Moses, I knew there would have do be some sort of prepartion, both mental and physical. After attending Primo's awesome beatdown last Thursday at Fision, I had a good sense of the "lay of the land", but I still had that nervous sense of lack of prepardedness that maybe we all get (but maybe not). Should I memorize the workout exactly as scripted? Would I carry a Weinke and get called out for carrying a Weinke? Should I put the workout on my iPhone and carry that around, no because I'll be wearing gloves and I wouldn't be able to scoll through my workout. You get the point. These are all the things I'm thinking leading up to Q'ing a workout and right before going to bed the night before. After setting 3 alarm clocks just to make sure I'd be up, I just told myself to have fun and it brought me a sense of peace.
Over 8 years later and I am still completely amazed and in awe of what F3 Lake Norman has meant to so many men and their families in our community and how 7 men would arrive and accompany me in sub-freezing temperatures for something the OG's call "recess". It was truly a privilege to Q Fission on Thursday.

Primo immediately uncomfortable upon arriving wearing too many laters (3 I think), but had the tights with no shorts as I recall, classic Primo
Q forgot what to say after finishing an exercise and instead of saying "Recover" said "Relax" several times, called out a few times on that…that's what happens when you don't Q for a long time
Q got called out for running around a very muddy but frosty football field when there was dry parking lot to work with..good point
Q got corrected called Toy Soldier "Tin Soldier" and PAX made squeaky sounds during the "Tin Soldier" exercise…think Wizard of Oz
Soprano arrived with what appeared to be a few kegs of beer in the back of his pickup, but that can't been proven unless we sampled some of the "said" beer.
So great catching up with old friends and meeting new ones!
Thanks to all who attended!
