COT:
When faced with what should be an easy day, I often “play down to the level of my opponent,” or put it on autopilot. However, if there is a challenge facing me, I know I have to meet it.

The IPC is a great example. I can’t really just phone it in when leading or participating in this workout because I know it will be such a challenge.

I appreciate the men of The Quacken who embraced the challenge the past 5 weeks together and come through it with a little more grit and resilience. Let’s take that from the gloom and share it with others.

Iron Pax, Week 2 – WHY?!

AO: thequacken
Q: FixerUpper
PAX: Lizzy, Z-Pack, Herbie, FixerUpper
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
WARMUP: Sorta, while disclaiming
THE THANG: Totally f3greenwood.wordpress.com/2023/09/10/bde-mile-ipc-2023-week-2/
MARY: No
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Marine Mud Run 9/16 at Melton Hill Park. Contact Lizzy to run or man the tent.
COT: Why would someone get up at 4:45am and drive across town to run for miles at a middle school track? A couple reasons come to mind :
#1 – The dudes who will be there. I’m excited to see the PAX and celebrate the wins and carry the burdens with you all.
#2 – A daily dose of discipline. If I regularly don’t go to F3, I tend to stay up too late, eat too much, and spend too much time on screens. Bad place for me to be.

The IPC is hard, and so are the other 11 months of F3, but the investment of time and effort is well worth it.
