16 men enjoyed absolutely perfect weather conditions on a Tuesday morning at the Ballroom.  Here is what they did.

The Thang:

Make a 4 x 4 formation and start with a dynamic warmup of arm stretches, back stretches, and leg stretches – keep moving….

We stayed in formation and did a slow jog to the far back parking lot of the distribution business park.  In this formation we did:  SSH x 20, Merkin x 10, IW x 20, Morrocan nightclub x 20, MC x 20, HOLD/left arm, left leg high/right arm, right leg high, 6″/reg/6″/reg/recover.

40 yard sprints: 50% effort x 2 times, 75% effort x 2 times, and 100% (sprint) x 2 times

Stay in formation for moderate Pushorama:

Merkins x 10, take a short break, diamond merkin x 10, , short break, widearm merkins, x 10 short break.  Do three sets total of that.

Stay in the 4 x 4 formation and Mosey to the grassy hill off of the main road for Jacob’s ladder.  Start with one burpee at the top and work up to 5 burpees.  Finish and plank at the bottom.

Back in formation and mosey to the warehouse just behind the Ballroom parking lot.  “Uh oh, i know what’s coming next, ” was heard as the double reataining wall came into sight.  No gentlemen, no wall climbs today!  We are staying moderate (unlike the Q last week who shall remain nameless, although some people call him Old Bay)

People’s chair, recover, bear crawl to the curb, crabwalk back, people’s char again with overhead hand claps.  Get back in formation and mosey to the grassy area in front of the Chicken Roaster.  The grass was pretty rough so we broke ranks and found a good spot to land.

LBC x 20, Elbows to Knees (like a slow Freddie Merc) x 20, Hello Dolly x 20

YHC had not Q’d the Ballroom in quite some time and was very pleased to get the call from Change Order a few weeks back.  It was even better when the weather finally turned cool and dry after the all the weekend rain from Matthew.    Who hoo! – this is F3 weather!  Why the formation?  Not sure really – just wanted to stay closer together today and see if we could stay that way,  which we did for the most part.

This was a very simple workout – take a short run, repeat some simple exercises and do it again for 45 minutes.  YHC loves a moderate workout for a change of pace, and based on the big numbers that the Ballrooom pulls in, the local F3 contingent must feel the same way.  And, it’s always awesome to be joined by four more respects (Twister, Elmer, Rainbird, Ditchwitch) on any morning.

In COT, the group mentioned those affected by hurricane Matthew.  Our local Pax knew folks that had homes that, thankfully, were saved.    Those in Haiti were not so lucky.   We prayed or those having surgery.  Praises for those getting married, those celebrating wedding anniversaries.
