An unsuspecting Pax of 11 showed up to meet Heavy Metal’s newest guest, THE Roanoke Rick. You see, Roanoke Rick and his 14-station obstacle course don’t mind the Pax using the park, but from time to time, the Pax must pay.

WARM-UP

  • Pass out printed guides with locations of stations and corresponding exercises
  • Lap around the park with very brief explanation of the course
  • Let’s roll

COT

  • Awesome work today by the Pax. This one was a burner that had something for everyone to enjoy (or hate).
  • Quote of the day goes to Munson, who after being first Pax to begin the course run, finished his set of bench press, then turned around and announced to the Pax, “After every set of those, I just want to rip my shirt off and flex!”
  • Today is the last day to sign up for the Raleigh Custom GORUCK Challenge. Don’t get stuck wishing you had signed up. http://f3nation.com/2014/03/25/may-3rd-2014-where-will-you-be/
