Choose you own adventure

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Brief mozy followed by SSH, Moroccan Night clubs, Mountain climbers, low slow squats
THE THANG: As a kid YHC enjoyed the “choose your own adventure” books where you get to make decisions about what happens in the story. On a somewhat rainy Tuesday, the Pax got to decide which story they wanted. Option one was a board of pain with higher reps under cover and dry. Option two was lower reps but with running between stations in the rain. It turns out it wasn’t much of a discussion and everyone (just 3 of us due to a bad weather forecast) chose option two.
Reps were 30 each and after each exercise we ran to the next of four locations at the AO. Exercises were: Burpees, Sumo Squats, American Hammers, Freddy Mercurys, Plank Jacks, Merkins, Moroccan Night Clubs, Shoulder Taps, LBCs, Carolina Dry Docks, Calf Raises, SSH, Wide arm Merkins, Flutters, Mountain Climbers.
MARY: Included some in roving board of pain
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Blood drive and D2DB registration.
COT: Thankful the rain wasn’t as bad as predicted. Support of fellow Pax regardless of weather conditions.

Slow Jams announced that the shovel flag will be passed next week so be on the lookout for that. GC is my regular stop on Tuesdays and I’ve enjoyed spending time with him. He was a steady, entertaining presence every week, and did a fine job as site Q. Smuggler was also with us today as he continues his comeback. Keep it going brother! Here’s to another year of F3 at The Fort!
