Pax:\u00a0 Former FNG Chicken Crossing the Road (CCR — WD), Crazy Uncle Gary, TroyBilt, Spamalot, Ripple, Splash, Mongoose, Plunger, Bulldog, BAM, Ziggy Stardust, Roosevelt, Total Recall, Tuco, I-Beam, D-Day, Parkay (WB), Burlap (QIC)<\/p>\n

YHC decided to run a fitness check and researched a few things online including military fitness tests.\u00a0 Those wouldn’t work well for the diverse Pax of Purgatory.\u00a0 He recalled a fitness test brought to Hanes Park and Impossible Situation by Zoolander in 2014.\u00a0 The contents of this test may be online somewhere, but YHC didn’t know how to find it and was too lazy to e-mail Zoolander.\u00a0 Rather, YHC decided to create his own to ensure naming rights and all the benefits and royalties that come with them.\u00a0 The final product is pretty well knocked off of Zoolander’s test based on my memory, but is designed for the Purgatory AO.<\/p>\n

My guess is that Pax would finish in range of 35 to 45 minutes — Actual was 28 to 40 minutes, I believe.\u00a0 Here is the test content:<\/p>\n

After a very brief and light warm-up in the parking lot and some SSHs at the playground, we went over the test.\u00a0 YHC purposefully had four studs — Mongoose, Plunger, Ripple, and Splash — run around to the rock pile and each get a large, 25-pound-ish rock and bring to the playground.\u00a0 YHC already had a 25 lb kettlebell there, and we used them for the weighted squats only.\u00a0 YHC picked those dudes to help wear them out and bring their times back to the pax.\u00a0 YHC should have picked TR too, but he arrived late — better than not showing for his own AO.<\/p>\n

After the test, we lined up and swung the rocks from Pax to Pax peleton style to move them back to the quarry and then returned to the parking lot for about 4 minutes of Mary. \u00a0 Fin.<\/p>\n
