A rousing group of 3 arrived at Amberley Park this morning for a little recon work to check out the park for the upcoming May 6th launch of F3 Cincinnati. With headlamp on YHC did the scouting and spotlighted a deer while seeing the perfect AO for a fantastic beat down possibility – tennis court, soccer field, baseball field, running track, hill, pull up bars, playground, and even the well lit parking lot behind the police station.

For this recon mission, plants were brought in and they were assembled and ready to go.

Warm o rama
After the perfunctory disclaimer was given, the PAX moseyed to the police station parking lot where they triangled up and began the warm o rama which consisted of: SSH, imperial walkers, merkins, peter parkers, peter parkers, copperhead squats, cotton pickers, Abe Vigodas (windmills), toy solders, jack reachers, seal claps, and overhead claps. All were in the 10-15 rep range and all were in IC. Assuring everyone was sufficiently warmed, YHC began…

The Thang

YHC called the merkin mile – modified – the PAX moved to each streetlight around the police station and performed 5 merkins at each light pole. On return, the PAX moseyed to the top of the playground area to perform a series of left leg and right leg step ups, as well as dips, Irkins and Dirkins. Following this nonsense, a repeato was called and then the grinder…

The grinder consisted of approximately 100 yards – up the hill to the playground with 1 PAX performing LBCs and 1 PAX performing squats with the mode of transportation in between being a brisk mosey. This was repeated approximately 6 times with the PAX regathering to head “back for Mary”

Well – not exactly
First we need to get from here to there. Just as Lt Dan would do it, (I ain’t got no legs) we Lunge walked across the parking lot. Tick Tock still time on the clock, so the PAX moved forward on DB drills through the parking stalls and then finally arrived for…

Mary
Mary was quick with only time for Freddie Mercuries, Low Dollie, Low Flutter, Rosalita, LBC’s and of courses the Dying Cockroach all IC X 10.

And one to grow on…
YHC shared with the PAX that a great part of the fun of Qing is bringing your own creativity and sometimes signature to the beat down. For YHC it was only fair that the Burpee – In Cadence would be how we closed. It was indeed a #crowdpleaser

COT
YHC took the PAX out with prayers for Lynda Hall breast cancer surgery this Friday, Ryan’s sister in law’s fiance – Craig – abdominal cancer.

NMC
Slim pickins in the mumble chatter category today. All were evidently saving it for the LAUNCH.

MAY 6, 2017!!!! Gonna be Epic!
