  • Cone 2 – 20 squats – mosey to cone 3
  • Cone 3 – 30 LBCs (single count) – mosey to cone 4
  • Cone 4 – mosey on to Burpee Cove, do 5 burpees, mosey back to cone 1
  • Rinse and Repeat

We took THE THANG all the way to the end.  As we waited on the six for everyone to circle, we cranked out 10 Merkins (4 count IC) for “fun”.

MOLESKIN
YHC was a bit concerned about the amount of moseying we would do today (which was around 2.5 miles in total).  However, the PAX in Erwin stepped up to the challenge and hammered it home.

YHC had the opportunity to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the new hospital in Unicoi County.  There is something exciting about a groundbreaking ceremony.  In particular, there is a buzz around the shovel planted in the ground.  It is a powerful visual image that change is about to occur.  In Unicoi County, we are going to watch a beautiful new hospital become a reality that will ultimately be a place in which lives will be changed.

April 1st, 2017, a different type of shovel was planted in Unicoi County.  That shovel was the shovel flag of F3 Erwin – Iron Valley.  Over these past (almost) four months, many lives have been changed in our community – mine included – thanks to this shovel.  So many incredible men in our community make the difficult choice at 0530 to kick mediocrity out the door and win the first battle of the day.  As a group, we (me) struggled with completing motivators from 5, now we are cranking them out at 7, 8, 10, 12. This has been so needed in my life, not just only from a fitness perspective, but from the 2nd and 3rd F perspectives as well.  YHC is so incredibly blessed and thankful for these men and this opportunity to build friendships and sharpen each other as Iron Sharpens Iron.
