Over 200 posts, at least 15 Q’s, $300+ spent @ridgewood #giftcard during 2nd F’s, two 3rd F events, one mud-run, a completed Shaggy challenge and a Christmas party. Being a cheap bastard, YHC got his money’s worth after walking into the gloom of True Grit exactly 1 year ago. Tclaps Duff, Shaggy and Macgrueber for the EH. Maize, Friar Tuck, Cinderella, Bob Villa, Steroid and Chong-Li tclaps for making YHC immediately feel welcome even though YHC had no idea what your handles were for 3 months. Orwell, Howard and Fazio for showing YHC how a man or real faith walks daily. Johnny Utah for throwing YHC under the bus for an impromptu first Q and Costco for volunteering YHC for anything and everything. YHC could name 100’s of PAX who had an impact on YHC over the last 365 days. YHC is truly grateful for all of F3 nation.

366 days ago, YHC didn’t know there were holes in his life. Being a former D1aa football player and the son of a Recon Marine YHC thought he had his Fitness, Fellowship and Faith shit together and prided himself in his stoicism. The PAX filled the football field and locker room void YHC was missing. The faith was always in the background, has grown and moved to the front and continues to move forward. YHC is now 3rd, a work in progress and loves it.

That’s just the beginning. YHC’s true love for F3 comes from being able to pass along this power of F3. The selfless sharing of F3 is what sets it apart. Most things we find valuable we hold tight for fear that someone else will discover it and take it from us. But like HIS love for us, the power of F3 is infinite and must be shared. As members of the PAX we know this and gain even more by sharing. YHC looks on with pride when a PAX he EH’ed Q’s the PAX or asks for a Prayer request. The job and growth is not finished and if you couldn’t tell YHC is excited for his second year.

YHC was also excited to share his Anniversary Q with the PAX of 13.

YHC calls for a headcount while he runs to the Zimamobile to pull a 40 pd kettle bell from the back. Indian run passing the kettle-bell down the line up the hill to the upper parking lot. At this time Shaggy voices his disappointment that the Zima Kegs did not join us for the workout.
