Ruck to the building behind Epic, up the stairs, one lunge on each light on the second floor, all the way down to stairs in front of hotel, went down the stairs on the back, up the stairs again, lunges on each lights on second floor, down the stairs in front of corkscrew bar, rinse and repeat up the stairs but switch to back lunges this time, down the stairs at the end, turn around and complete back lunges on each light on second floor.

WARMUP: ssh, windmills, imp walkers, hillbilly walkers and Peter Parkers, all in cadence
THE THANG: a round of 13s – 2 stations were set up a hundred or so feet from each other. Station 1 the pax did merkins and shoulder taps – starting count was one. The pax migrated to station 2 via lieutenant dans, and at station 2 did big boi sit ups and American hammers ( or was it Russian twists, I forget) – starting count was 12. The pax returned to station via a mosey around the parking lot.
The task proved a bit ambitious for us, as we reached 6:00 with a couple of rounds left to go, but at f3, we get paid by the hour, not by the rep, so the effort was honorable
After reminiscing about the old abc wide world of sports, we spent some time brainstorming some good f3 names inspired by IP of our youth. Don’t be surprised if an upcoming fng goes home named something like Danny Zucko, Fonzie, or Grimace.
MARY: negative ghost rider

COT: prayers were lifted for vuvu and other pax in attendance
WARMUP: Pledge of Allegiance
THE THANG:
Inspired by the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow this will be a loop with 18 stops. The distance between the stops are based on the length of the holes (slightly modified down to get us 3 miles instead of the actual length of 4.3). The stops were marked with cones.
•Red = Par 4 = 4 Burpees
•Yellow = Par 3 = 20 Big Boys
•Green = Par 5 = 20 American Hammers
•Green Mile = Written on cardboard signs
We stuck together for the first 8 holes (1.25 miles) and then I turned the fast guys loose to run the remainder of the course (1.75 miles).
I didn’t hear it all, but I did hear some great mumble chatter:
– “Where’s the cart girl?” – Cyclopes
– “What’s the distance from the senior tees?” – Barry Manilow
– “There’s no such thing as a par 6, right?” – Dark Helmet
Thank you Nasa for the call.
