Deck of Awesomeness

WARMUP:
Mosey to FM Church of God…SSH, Low slow squats, seal jacks and Moroccan nightclubs. Mosey to FM Baptist rear parking lot.

THE THANG:
Deck of cards: Hearts = Merkin. Spades = BBSU. Diamonds = Lunge. Clubs = Crab cakes. Joker = 15 burpees. 2s = Lap around parking lot. PAX made it through 90% of the deck before DOAH decided to “help” by selecting new cards for the remainder of the WO. As punishment for DOAH’s “help,” we pivoted to 7’s on the Withers St hill. Jump Squats at the bottom and merkins at the top.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many options for community leadership coming up in the next few months.

Are you Tony Hawk?

WARMUP:
– 30-something SSHs
– Dynamic stretching on soccer field
– Discussion about the origins of my F3 name and the fact that a kid at Inizios really REALLY thought I was Tony Hawk – lol
– The F3 Name conversation spilled over to some of the other PAX present…Change Order expressed grievance over being picked on because of his career, Kermit apparently really likes broad jumps – I don’t know 🤷‍♂️

THE THANG:
A tour of the campus was the basic premise:
– Mosey to the athletic entrance: Lunges walks/reverse lunge walks w/ assorted exercises in between (bomb jacks, big boy sit-ups, monkey humpers, etc.) between light poles
– Mosey to bus loop: Merkin train (1 merkin and walk your hands 3 “steps” to the right) down one side of the curb
– Wall sits alternating with BTTW x3
– Merkin train part 2
– Mosey to the playground: 1 pull up, 2 chin ups, 1 Kraken Burpee, 10 knees to chest on the swings x 3
– Mosey to back of school for assorted stupidity (maktar jais on the wall, bear crawls, calf raises up the steps, broad jumps, more lunge walks)
– Mosey to front of middle school at top of car rider loop: 11s with big boy sit-ups at bottom of hill and burpees at top – completed 1/10, 2/9, and 3/8
– “Catch me if you can” sprint back to COT

Impreza blokowa

We did some work. Run around WEP, performed bunch of merkins, squats, big boy sit ups and dips on every marker in the park. On the parking lot behind the amphitheater came time for  Dora with more squats lunges  and other fun stuff I don’t remember:) I remember bear crawls with merkins on every parking line, though. Then I run out of ideas so “Mary” helped a lot. Bobber asked for some burpees and wall sits on our way to the COT, I could not say no ! Ended up in the parking lot with 3660 steps made by 6 am:)
Sorry for a late entry, thank you forcing me to write it:)

Jack Webb from hell – remix

WARMUP: a little upward & downward dog, some low slow squats and single count merkins

THE THANG: moseyed over to WEP.  Starting at the first bench swing the PAX did 1 burpee and 4 merkins, ran to the next swing did 2 and 8, ran back to the first swing and then went to the 3rd swing did 3 & 12, then to the 2nd swing and up to the 4th bench swing, did 4 & 16 and so on until we got to 10 and 40.  
Since we still had some time left, YHC didn’t want to waste any time so we moseyed over to the playground and did a dead hang for a 10- count, 10 low slow squats, 5 pull ups and then 10 more squats.  With 4 minutes left we headed back to COT.  Arrived at 0600.
MARY: none
ANNOUNCEMENTS: read your newsletter

The Final Countdown

The day finally arrived for our CSAUP, The FInal Countdown. The rainy weather was not ideal, but it helped keep the temperature and humidity down for ideal running conditions. 67 men participated in the event. Most groups participated in the relay. Ruckers and trail runners fought the elements and got their work done to.
Relay details:   The first Pax will run 3 miles and return to the starting point.  The 1st and 2nd Pax will run 3 miles and return to the starting point. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd runner will run the final 3 miles.  Each route will be unique.  If you get lost, just run 3 miles and return back to the park.

Total miles:  3+3+3 = 10 F3 math   (Runner 1 – 9 miles, Runner 2 – 6 miles, Runner 3 – 3 miles)

Inspiring stuff this morning. River Rat’s 2.0s ran the course like it was a lap around the track. Lots of guys ran distances they have never run before.
We’ve got a good pool of runners for the upcoming Dam to Dam Relay.

Great job by everyone this morning!
