Nice Cool(ish) morning here at the Stockade.
So typically my Q’s involve a lot of running, merkins, and of course Burpees. Today though, I was looking forward to Week 0 of College Football and wanted to do something a little different. So myself and my fellow pax did a F3 inspired football Combine.

Brief run to the parking lot of Grace church where I had some cones laid out and some plans to push the Pax but have some fun.

Warmup:

SSH: 43 IC (for Troy Polamalu)
Windmills : 7 IC (For Big Ben the QB not the Clock)
Plank Jacks: 14 IC (for the last Super bowl won by the “Super Steelers” )
LBC’s 32 IC ( For PSU and Steeler Star Franco Harris)

Round 1: 2:00 of Jump Squats
Recovery Lap
Round 2: 2:00 of Merkins (first minute was all hand-release second minute was traditional)
Recovery Lap
Round 3 : 20 Yrd Broad Jump
Recovery Lap
Round 4: 20 Yrd Shuttle Run
Recovery Lap
Round 5: “Hands Drill” We partnered up and played catch with a football while the rest of the Pax would run a lap. Switched out until everyone got a turn.

Round 6: The reason we all were here. The 40 yrd Dash!

The times were unofficial but still proud to say we have some burners here in the Fort:

Italian Job : 4.37
Slow Jams 4.57
Half Shell: 4.52
Skipper: 4.50
Grassy Knoll: 4.49
FishTix: 4.44
YHC: 3.2 (world record)   Again….I said it was unofficial.

After the dash we divided up into 2 teams with YHC as the full time QB. Team Fishtix defeated Team Slow Jams 1-0. My QB rating was sub 70 but I had 1 TD with 1 INT.  

Some takeaways:

I should get a brighter ball
Italian Job is as quick as a hiccup.
Half Shell is an offensive genius. (just didn’t have a QB who could execute)
Skipper has really good hands (especially considering that no one could really see the ball)
Being QB is hard.

Fishtix was the MVP with the game sealing INT.  His trophy and the team championship rings are pending.

Today’s workout was not a traditional workout. There were no coupons (well other than the football), no miles and no pearls on a string. That said, the fellowship was outstanding, we did get some exercise in and the best part nobody tore a hamstring.

Thanks to all that came out. Appreciate any opportunity to lead.

All the best!
