So with our 5 year anniversary week upon us, we decided to have only one AO open each day to bring PAX together. The fountain seemed to be the perfect location to run Hero Hills and RED Friday. For everything F3 Greenwood has done for me, I wanted to give back and get involved, so I jumped at the chance to Q RED Friday. Typically every Thursday night, the texts start rolling in to see what the WOD is going to be. BenGay sent me a pretty killer body weight WOD. So I decided I would run it. Then Alpo threw out the idea of Riley. Alpo has a disturbing infatuation with the Riley WOD. Alpo Q’d it about 2 years ago, and Ive actually wanted to run it again since that day and I never have. So Bengay had this plan in his head for me to announce Riley and get Alpo all excited and then change it. So when I announced Riley, the mumblechatter erupted instantaneously. BenGay was waiting for me to drop the other shoe. Well, it never dropped. The look on his face was priceless! Well, that’s about where it went south. I announced the work as a 1 mile run, then 150 burpees, then another 1 mile run. It was brought to my attention later in the morning was that it should have been 1.5 mile bookends. Well, looks like we missed it by a mile. But work was done, and Army Sgt. 1st Class Riley G. Stephens was honored. Alpo sprinted off to his truck and grabbed his vest. Pure beast. This WOD is a bruiser without a vest. Crayola, in typical form, zipped through the work and BenGay was all over his heals. Inspector is also a lover of the burpee, so he smoked through it as well. Quickie and I are both dealing with some leg injuries, so we limped through the gloom behind the rest of these studs. Duggar decided to hang out with us on the bookend runs and did abs while we busted through the burpees. Again, cobains for calling the work short, but it was a sweatfest none the less. And we apologize to the City of Greenwood for leaving flat spots in the grass around the fountain. It looked like little crop circles when we left. I had to keep this one a secret as much as I could. If you let it out there that you’re going to do Riley, you’ll end up doing it by yourself. Well done men! Honored to knock this one out along side of each of you.
