27 Pax showed out for some work at Golden Corral, and to enjoy perfect F3 weather (low 60’s, clear, and not too humid). After the disclaimer was issued, half a dozen or so ruckers split off with Bonsai at the helm. The remaining pax moseyed with YHC for some warm-up action behind the Harris Teeter. #Mumblechatter was strong, and the epicenter of it seemed to follow Pusher.

Warm-up

• SSH x25 (IC)
• Windmills x15 (IC)
• Forward lunges
• Reverse lunges
• Imperial Walkers x15 (IC)
• Peter Parkers x20 (IC)
• Parker Peters x20 (IC)
• Mountclimbers x15 (IC)

As we moseyed from behind Harris Teeter, we crossed paths with an FNG (later named “Elvis”) that was EH’ed by Boeheim. Elvis arrived late due AO location confusion. T-Claps for him searching us out and catching up to the pax. We landed at the Rite-Aid building for the main event: 4-Corner BLIMPS Accumulators

The Thang
For each “round” described below, all pax were to run to each corner of the Rite-Aid building and do BLIMPS exercises. For those unfamiliar with the shape of a square building, that means the exercises were repeated 4 times each round (once at each corner). After each round, leading pax planked until the 6 arrived. So we all started each round together.

Round 1- 1 burpee at each corner (running between corners)
Round 2 – 1 burpee, 2 step lunges at each corner
Round 3 – 1 burpee, 2 lunges, 3 Imperial walkers
Round 4 – 1 burpee, 2 lunges, 3 Imperial walkers, 4 merkins
Round 5 – 1 burpee, 2 lunges, 3 Imperial walkers, 4 merkins, 5 plank jacks
Round 6 – 1 burpee, 2 lunges, 3 Imperial walkers, 4 merkins, 5 plank jacks, 6 squats
Round 7 – 2 lunges, 3 Imperial walkers, 4 merkins, 5 plank jacks, 6 squats
Round 8 – 3 Imperial walkers, 4 merkins, 5 plank jacks, 6 squats
Round 9 – 4 merkins, 5 plank jacks, 6 squats
Round 10 – 5 plank jacks, 6 squats
Round 11 – 6 squats

We managed to get all 11 rounds in before heading to COT. For those curious about the numbers.
24 burpees
48 step lunges
72 imperial walkers
96 merkins
120 plank jacks
144 squats
Total Distance run: 1.8 miles (at least that what I thought I over heard Pusher/Funhouse say). That’s a health distance to put around a single building. Wouldn’t be surprised if Rite-Aid Security HQ was panicking.

Naked Man Moleskin
Welcome FNG “Elvis”, who tolerated YHC refusing to give any demos of the exercises, and was also denied the traditional 5 minutes of AbLab, since we were busy with the main event right up until 0600. Prayers were requested by Lutefisk who’s father is undergoing surgery, and mother who will be taking care of him, but is having some new health issues of her own. Also for Shady who lost his dad a few weeks ago and needs comfort and encouragement as he continues to grieve. Also, for the men giving it away by helping launch F3Cincinnati – wishing them safe travels and praises for their willingness to serve.

Excellent work by all this morning. Thanks to Decibel for allowing me to Q.
