“Just the Facts, Ma’am.” pt 2.

It was a glorious 75 degree gloom today, complete with humidity and dew. The air was saturated from the storms overnight. Along the ride there was a Shield & Splinter sighting – running all the way from Regent Park. Animals.

YHC rolled into the AO in a good mood, made even better by the sighting of Dirty Harry waiting in the parking lot. To top it off, Albatross showed up the day after his FNG post. The man’s got gumption.

Start

Disclaimer was disclaimed, then we walked through the 5 core principles. YHC was excited to deliver the pain this morning.

COP

SSH x 34 IC

Merkins x 7 IC

Six Count Burpess x 5 IC

Jump Lunges x 8 Each Side

Weinke

Quick mosey to adjacent lot.

ASS WEBBS

1 Squat : 4 Squat Pulses up to 10:40. The PAX dropped it like it was hot.

Walk Like an Egyptian

This is a lunge hold Indian run. Take a step in a lunge, hold it, PAX in rear sprints to front. Step forward with other leg, hold while PAX in rear sprints to front. Repeat until you arrive at your destination.

Luckily our destination was only 50 or so yards… but the burn was felt.

BEARPEES

1 6-Count Burpee : 4 Bear Crawl Steps up to 10:40. YHC called the cadence throughout to keep the PAX together.

Mosey to field to complete final iteration.

JACK WEBBS

1 Merkin : 4 OH Claps up to 10:40. The shoulders were on fire for the duration of this iteration.

5 Min of Mary

Protractor into Rosalita’s x 10

Flutters x 10

American Hammers x 10

Gas Pumpers x 10 (at the discretion of Dirty Harry)

NMM

Today’s workout was pleasant – most would disagree – but the mutual suck endured alongside my brothers quickly became fun for YHC. I wanted to cut the movements short multiple times, but we don’t wake up at 0430 to half ass it.

I’ve been struggling to post as of late, and to be honest I am not happy with myself about it. I ran into Esso on Monday at Publix, and the camaraderie gained from posting quickly translates into the world a sense of community and belonging. He promised he’d come to my Q, and much to my delight, he did as he said. This community we have in F3 is not to be taken for granted, even by a kotter like myself. I am better when I post. Not only because of the 1st F. It’s because of the 2nd F that we all enjoy so much, followed by the 3rd F in putting our community and faith above ourselves. We push each other to be better daily. It starts with showing up.

Who is in your world that would benefit from this?

Takin’ it back old school because I’m an old fool

WARMUP: we ran up the hill on Massey into the big parking lot to circle up. Started with some SSH and stopped pretty quick to get in cadence. 5 burpee penalty. Started over with SSH in cadence…stopped again to get in cadence. 3 burpee penalty. Started again and stayed in cadence for the most part. Moved on to sumo squats, merkins, shoulder taps, up and down dog, and finished with some back stretching.
THE THANG: From the parking lot, we ran down the grass hill over to the small lot with the wall that used to have nails sticking out (we didn’t find any of those). We did 7s here with burpees at the bottom, jump the wall, and donkey kicks at the top.

Finished here and had a short run over to the “step up” wall. Before we left the parking lot, we were reminded we have one mouth and 2 ears and if we’re thinking of our responses before someone else is done speaking, are we truly listening??

Made it to the step up wall where we did 11s. Steps up were both legs (bad idea here) and we did decline ranger merkins for the other half of our 11s (10+1, 9+2…1+10).

Left here with the plan to go to LBJ church and with 15 min left, we Omaha’s back to the big parking lot. Dora was the plan and previous site Q Bobber suggested running up and down the big hill…so we did. Partner up and Dora was: 100 diamond merkins, 200 jump squats, 300 flutters 2 count…which no one made it to flutters.
MARY: 5 min to spare we ran back to COT for MARY. Both Jackelope and State Farm got a chance to call cadence and crushed it!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots! Check out the newsletter! Dam to dam is coming so look for Sept 1 sign up!
COT: welcomed Stiletto who was visiting Maximus from TX, and Wegmans has 13 weeks to perfect his smoking craft as he takes care of that new baby!

Not Bunny Hopping Any More

WARMUP: run 1 lap around the perimeter of the parking lot. Circle up, Moroccan nightclubs, low slow squats, windmills.

THE THANG: Due to Quack Attack’s car, we had to start at the dark red lightning bolt. (See attached high tech AO recreation software) First call was to bunny hop suicides. After traveling to the first light, that was an extremely dumb idea. Modified to lunges. We would stop at each light pole, marked by the yellow circles. We would do 10 swings at each light, drop the bell and run back to the red lightning bolt, traveling in the direction of the blue arrow for the first. 10 merkins at the starting point and run to our bells. 10 merkins before advancing our bells via lunge walks now. 10 swings and run back to the start. 10 merkins at the start and run to the bell for 10 more merkins before lunge walking to the other side of the parking lot.

Next we gathered at the red hexagon. We would send 1 person to run the direction of the pink arrow to the other end of the parking lot and back. They were the timer.
The exercises we did:
Curls
Z – Press (with discussion about how it doesn’t look like a Z)
Chest Press
Calf raises
Swings
Squats
(In no particular order)

Next we gather at the location of the green arrow and did a similar suicide iteration at the first. This time we did overhead carry and squats. Merkins at the green arrow and again before advancing the bell with the overhead carry.

Did a couple moseys to the far end of the parking lot. Some people were chatting so called some burpees to grab the attention again.

Next we did some more calf raises to get these Pax ready for the Clave Boss!

Did another mosey and then some dynamic cool down, including toy soldiers, regular mosey and karaoke.

MARY: Airborne Hip thing and 1 last mosey
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 10 year, Christmas party, BBQ CSAUP, Final Countdown
COT: Stays in COT.

Mozy round the lot.  Old man windmills.  Mountain Climbers. Merkins.  Diamond Merkins.  Wide arm merkins.  Low slow Squats.

While the timers are doing their thang, remaining PAX are working a list of exercises:
KB Swings
KB Squats
Chest Press

Upright Row
Once all 4 pairs of PAX complete their turn as the timer, the PAX with the winning time planks while everyone else pays a 15 burpee penalty.

Burpees for BBQ

We will converge on Peachland Polkton Elementary at 0630. Hour long beatdown followed by some delicious BBQ at Jon Gs BBQ. Plan is to be in the line waiting around 0800. Coffeteria to follow in the BBQ line. The place will have free beer for those interested and we will coordinate additional breakfast items for those that wish. Oh, and yes, there is a patch. This is definitely the most true definition of a CSAUP. Getting up super early to travel an hour to go get BBQ with a workout before hand.
