Seven Years Later

Leave a comment

Seven years ago, Jekyll invited me to The Fort for my first workout. WWL and Rooney did a great job keeping the 40 Pax busy with difficult exercises and ended with a strong message – Pay attention to detail, It is the little things that make a big difference. Here’s the link to the Backblast : https://f3thefort.com/2015/07/11/40-at-the-fort-q-school-extra-credit-attention-to-detail/

WARMUP:
SSHx20
Imperial Walkersx15
Windmillsx15
Plank Stretches
Mountain Climbersx10

THE THANG:
Next, we did a modified Jack Webb. We ran around the park and stop for each round of merkins and arm raises. I should have read the message from my first post about attention to detail a bit closer. Several times, I lost count and the Pax reminded me . We finished at the far end of the field, a quick rest with some Goggins motivation. Next, we partnered up for a long wheelbarrow to the playground. One catch, if you stop and switch partners, 5 burpees. Once we got to the playground, we continued with partners exercises.
Partner one – run around playground while partner two does dips (swap)
Partner one – run around playground while partner two does derkins (swap)
rinse and repeat
Next, we made our way back to the amphitheater for a few minutes of recovery abs exercises (LBCs, Flutters, and Box Cutters). We took the path to the power line hill where the XC runners typically do hill repeats. Partner one runs up the hill and returns to the bottom using the paved path while partner two performs an exercises. Three rounds: Squats, Calf Raises, and Lunges. One last run up the hill, backwards. Back to the front of the amphitheater. Plank line up, each Pax performed two merkins in front of the other pax, rinse and repeat.
We had time for some Mary and a 30 second body destroyer.

Great job everyone!

Run 90yd back to goal line then run 80yd to far 20yd line for 8reps…. keep decreasing 10 yards and 1 rep.

Made it to the 50 yd line before time was getting low so for the 40yd, 30yd, 20yd, 10yd we only performed merkins and we mixed in some Nur and bear crawls and crawl bears instead of running.

Finished off with mosey back to COT and 1 minute of Mary (flutters and American hammers)

COT:

We rocked the first half, then Badlands rolled us in the second half. Good energy from all throughout!

Cake Boss made a fashionably late appearance at 0558. We gave him full credit for a post because…well….WWJD!

A reference to high school reunions brought reflections on HS friends that remain in contact today and those that walked with us through that life stage so many years ago. gratitude for both groups and reminders of the value of what we have with our F3 brothers.

Prayers for Yard Sale and the flux he’s navigating. Thanks for the chance to lead!
