Behemoth

12 vigorous men rolled in to the AO eager to meet the day on their own terms. Warm vehicles left behind, greetings exchanged and disclaimer proclaimed, this is what they did:

The Thang

Shake off the dust with a little pre-game run around the parking lot, mixing in the standard buttkickers, high knees, backwards run and shuffle-steps with some pylometrics thrown in for good measure. Circle up in the coldest portion of the southern parking lot.

The Finisher

  • Jack Webb: 1 Merkin / 4 overhead press (with rock) … to 5Merkins/20Presses
  • Return rocks and circle up for 3 MOM performed with #angryman cadence

Moleskine

  • Smaller crowd today provided for a fair amount of mumblechatter towards the beginning of the workout. Not much chatter towards the end…
  • #angrywhitesedan made its now routine appearance. Fortunately, no one was run down and as we were all armed with stones/rocks, #angrywhitesedan sped away quietly into the gloom.
  • Rocks v. stones. I’m neutral. Either way, they are heavy.
  • I advised folks to choose a medium-size rock/stone for today’s activities. Most ignored me and grabbed one of the usual suspects. Hefting our small boulders made the distance run grow exponentially.
  • Behemoth – biggest born of earth – upheaved His vastness. Seemed like a fitting name for our supercharged beast.
  • I’m pretty sure we did a few more rounds on the Behemoth, but I honestly can’t remember what they were. I decided not to make stuff up and didn’t want to oversell ourselves or make it seem like we were any more impressive than we claim ourselves to be, so I limited the reporting to that which I could actually remember. #truthinadvertising #fairandbalancedreporting
  • #angryman cadence made a brief appearance during the 3 MOM. Couldn’t help myself – I was just trying to count and breathe at the same time.
  •  O’Tannenbaum continued to throw down an impressive performances of physical strength and dexterity. The rest of the PAX wasn’t too shabby either.

Announcements

  • It’s time to sign-up for the Spring MudRun. F3 is shooting for 700 PAX so get yourself (and your team) on the bus! Look for the pre-blast from Madame Tussauds.
  • It’s time to show interest for the BRR. Area 51 has filled 6 teams and is looking for more. Reach out to Turkey Leg if interested.
  • Olympus is looking for guest Qs – reach out to Ickey Shuffle if interested

Great Q YL. The suicide placed mid-beast was perfect for the painfest you dished out. That hurt brother, nicely done.
