A Little Chilly In Bermuda This Morning

Despite temperatures in the 50’s this morning, we had 10 post at Bermuda Triangle. We did have one PAX in long sleeves, which is obviously unusual for August in South Carolina.

No FNG’s, but a few new faces (to me), so I gave a quick disclaimer followed by a quick mosey down to the school’s drop off circle and back to the original starting point where we circled up for some stretching:

Windmill – 10

Leg stretches:

Straight Leg Stretch (TRY and touch your toes)

Right over Left, Left over Right

Arm stretches:

Right arm across, Left arm across

Right arm behind your head, Left arm behind your head

Plenty of mumble chatter during the stretching. Didn’t do a long warm up, wanted to focus more on a quick warm up jog and stretching. Figured we could save the work outs for the work out. So after stretching we did a very short Mosey to our first station.

The Thang:

Two pieces of paper were placed about 75 yards apart. Each paper had 7 workouts listed on it. The “magic number” for each exercise was 50, unless otherwise noted (PAX thought this was amusing but thanked me later for it). All exercises were single count. The point was to run to the other workout station and perform the next exercise, then run back to the station where you started and perform the next exercise, until all PAX completed the 14 runs and 14 workouts.

Station 1:

Hillbilly Walkers, LBC’s, Big Boy Sit-Ups (25), Freddie Mercuries, Dying Cockroaches, Crunchy Frogs (25), Mountain Climbers

Station 2:

Overhead Claps, Bomb Jacks (25), Seal Jacks, SSH’s, Flying Squirrels (25), Shoulder Taps, Imperial Walkers

The PAX FLEW through this portion of the workout, so I thought about rinsing and repeating, but we Omaha’d:

Indian Run around the gravel track. Last PAX does three Jumping Knee Tucks, runs to the front. New last PAX is not allowed to start jumping knee tucks until PAX actually reaches the front of the line. We completed our line exactly as we completed the track, and we moseyed over to find some wall. People’s chair with PAX starting at each end going out 10 feet and performing 5 Sumo Squats, Rinse and Repeat. BTW’s with PAX at each end going out 10 feet and performing 5 Monkey Humpers.

Mosey back over to the traffic circle closest to the Baseball Fields where we would Duck Walk around the circle and plank until the 6 got in. Next time around the circle we traveled via Lunge Walk, and planked until the 6 came in. Nemo didn’t think this was enough so he performed Merkins until the 6 finished.

Head back to location of COT with about 3 minutes left for some MARY:

Box Cutters in cadence (Homebrew) – 20

Flutters in cadence (Iced T) – 20

Q made an announcement that there were #’s less than 20!

Hello Dolly’s in cadence (Nemo) – 15

LBC’s (Love Bite) – 15

TIME!

Announcements – The Dragon is CLOSED this Saturday for Summerfest in downtown York. Yes, there is a downtown in York. There will be an F3 tent there. Visitors will roll dice in order to perform a workout, receive a prize, and of course get information about F3.

Prayers:

  • A young man on Two Ferns son’s football team broke his Femur in his first ever scrimmage this week. We are praying for healing.
  • The peaks and valleys of marriage. Praying through the valleys, Praising during the Peaks!

Thanks to Homebrew for the opportunity to lead. Thank you to all of the PAX for the push this morning.

Pain Stations and Partner Beatdown on tap at Bermuda Triangle

YHC is a big fan of getting up at 4:20 for the Q at the 5:00AM launch of Bermuda Triangle.  Fresh off 3 miles of Suicides courtesy of Which Hunt at Poopdeck, I was excited to get after it, hoping for a strong turnout.  Disclaimer was delivered and the we got to business.  Here is how it went down:

Warm-o-rama:

Started with a 400 meter (more or less) modified indian run where the lead runner passes back overhead a 10lb medicine ball.  Last man sprints to the front of the line and so on until we arrived back near the flag:

  • 20 SSH IC
  • 15 Imperial Walkers IC
  • 15 Weed pullers IC
  • 10 Merkins IC
  • 15 Mountain Climbers IC

Next on to Part 1 of the workout: a 3 station beat down with pain stations spread around the 400 meter track.

Station 1:

  • 10 Jump squats
  • 10 single count curls/arm (25lb dumbells)
  • 20 Nolan Ryan’s (10/side)
  • 25 LBCs (single count) => run to station 2

Station 2:

  • 10 Lunges per leg
  • 10 WWII Sit ups
  • 10 Tricep hammers/ arm (20lb dumbells)
  • 10 Diamond merkins => run to station 3

Station 3:

  • 25 SSH
  • 20 Flutters (per leg)
  • 15 Derkins
  • 15 CDDs

Rinse and repeat once

Unfortunately for the Pax, we still had 15 minutes left, so on the Part 2: 

Partners would split reps, with one running about 100 yards while the other got cracking:

  • 100 Lunges
  • 75 Ranger Merkins
  • 75 Bobby Hurley Squats
  • 75 Carolina Dry docks
  • 75 Crab Cakes
  • 75 Werkins
  • 75 Monkey Humpers
  • 100 LBCs
  • 40 Flying Squirrels

The leaders only got as far as the Monkey humpers.  Pax were told completion at home was optional.

In Closing

We circled up to name 31 year old FNG Matt Hickey , now forever to be known as “Love Bite”.  Praises and prayers for health and healing, comfort and celebration were brought forth.  YHC closed the COT with prayer.

As always, I’m grateful to be a part of F3 Nation and fort the opportunity to Q.
