    We didn’t do a warm-up because we just wanted to get to the work of embracing the suck!! The beatdown was with Cinderblocks and Suicides. We would begin with a starting repetition number and double the reps at each of the 4 lines. Example: Start with 2 Cinder-curls, then 4 at the first line, 8 at the second, 16 at the third cone, and 32 at the forth cone, then carry the cinderblock to the start (while maintaining social distancing). The exercises were:
    Start # Double Count at Each Cone
    4 Staggerd Squat 8 16 32 64
    2 Cinder Curls 4 8 16 32
    1 Man Maker 2 4 8 16
    Suicide
    1 Rock Star (Jump Tucks) No Cinderblock (Sprint Back)
    2 Staggered Cinder Merkins 4 8 16 32
    2 Cinder-Bent Rows 4 8 16 32
    Suicide
    2 Merkins No Cinderblock (Sprint Back)
    2 Upright Rows 4 8 16 32
    2 Imperial Walk Squats (1 is 1) No Cinderblock (Sprint Back)

    Suicide
    2 Thrusters 4 8 16 32
    2 Incline Merkin Hands on Cinderblock

    Nobody got to the end but a couple made it through the thrusters. Awesome effort by the whole PAX!!
    We ended in the Circle of Trust. Did the Counterama / Namerama. Popeyes was the 6. He mentioned how the Mile High Clan gets him to the beatdown and what F3 means to him. Popeyes has been a fixture at the Gauntlet for as long as I can remember, always bringing it and leading by example!! We ended in prayer. I just wanted to thank the PAX for keeping the Gauntlet going as one of the Black Swamps premiere locations!! Always is an honor to lead the HIMs of F3!!!
