You can design a workout but you never know what chatter will commence. From the moment I stepped out of the truck, I knew today was going to be a good one.

We took turns giving The Pirate some unsolicited fatherly advice like, “Don’t worry, kids are surprisingly resilient. They bounce!” We also learned that no matter how old you get, fart jokes are funny.

Where else can adult men tell jokes and act like kids without judgment? It just proves that though we age, we never really mature. F3 is grown man recess, and I’m in for it.

Two Bags of Treasure

Leave a comment

Chilly morning at the Corral..Most stayed in their vehicles until a few minutes before wheels up. We had a FNG, one of his buddies had mentioned our group. FIrst name Greg, went to ECU (Home of the Pirates). We all thought about the character in Dodgeball movie, Greg the Pirate.
We got started with warm-ups in the parking lot (SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, Plank, Peter Parkers, Parker Peters).
Next, we used the two sandbags. Two men carried the sandbags around the parking lot until the rest of the group ran around the parking lot and caught up with them. It was suppose to be a tempo run in the opposite direction, but it ended up being more like a catch me if you can. Remember – not a professional. We rotated until everyone carried a bag.
Next, we moseyed to the Pet grooming store, dropped the bags and ran to the oppose side of the parking lot. Two pax ran to the bags and did 5 reps of Manmakers (rd1+rd3), Squat Thrusters (rd2) while the other pax did various exercises. Flapjack – three rounds.
I did get a chuckle when Change Order said to the FNG, “Grab you ankles” as he describe how to do a Monkey Humper.
Few minutes left for some Mary.
Back to COT.
