5:30 AM – PAX met at the Shovel Flag. YHC had a big responsibility of keeping the Heavy Shovel Flag in his possession while SpaceBar is on vacation.

We then counted off and started Name-A-Rama. Apologies to Black Flag and Romeo, who we forget to add to the video until it was completed. There weren’t really any announcements, in part, because SafeRide was not present. Prayer requests mentioned and noted. Today’s workout was geared towards the early (classic) days of HeavyMetal. Early in my F3 journey, HeavyMetal was a consistent post for me after I joined in April 2019. It was know was the anti-running AO, given that back in 2019 there was only Paradise or Heavy on Wednesdays! Things have changed with so many options now!! We literally would go to the stage and lift weights…that was it. The music was raw, heavy and usually pre-dated my birth year of 1986 by 10 years. It also seemed like Folsom was on the Q for 75% of the time 😊!!! Looking back, it has been cool to see how Heavy has evolved from a workout with weights, but also creativity with stations, running, etc! For the other part of my COT, YHC reminded the PAX about trying to be present. I try, and often fail, at not looking at my phone when I am at home and especially interacting with my 2.0s. My challenge is to be present and focus on those around you.
