This weeks’ work travel took me over to the Field of Dreams AO with the pax in Cary, NC.  While it was a terrible workout, I had to share some of the exercises with my brothers back home..so off we went.

Weather: 60’s – darn near perfect.

The Thang:

Run around the Pantheon circle with high knees, butt kickers and karaoke x2 to the COP:

COP:

• Good Mornings x 10 IC
• Windmill x11 IC
• Imperial Walker x15 IC
• Mountain Climber x15 IC
• Peter Parker x10 IC
• Side-straddle Hops x30 IC

With a short-ish mosey over to the soccer fields, the fun was just about to begin.  First up was four corners around half of the soccer field after breaking the group into two. Group 1 started with the mode of transportation while Group 2 started with the exercise on the first corner. 10 reps of each exercise:

• Bear Crawl/Carolina Dry Docks
• Guerilla crawl/Squats
• Lunge Walks/Lunge Jumps
• Franksteins/Star Jumps

In keeping with the soccer field theme, we performed 2 figure eights around the soccer field.  Karaoke along the sideline – facing the field, hard across the center line, karaoke facing field down to opposite goal line, hard across goal line, karaoke up the sideline to mid-field, hard across mid-field, karaoke to other goal line, ending with a hard spring to the starting corner.  This was done twice, the second time with side shuffle facing the field instead of karaoke on the second figure 8.

With only a few more minutes to spare, we headed over to the Pantheon short track and group 1 ran a lap while group 2 did merkins.  Once the lap was complete, flip flop.  We were able to get in 2 rotations of this fine gem and them we moseyed over to the COT as the Pantheon lights came on.

It was great to see my friend, David Lando (Notorious) finally chose to jump in to F3 with both feet. He has been asking me about it as he sees my posts on Strava and had a co-worker in Raleigh mention how great it is to hit workouts all over the Carolinas.  Notorious also travels the Carolinas for work so we will have to get him the imaginary F3 Passport also!

136 items collected for the CAH today.  Great job!

I am humbled to lead such a great group of HIM and look forward to my next opportunity at Q.

Till next time…Bing out.
