Bad things tend to happen in 3’s

Bad things tend to happen in 3’s

22 of the finest gents from A51 and metro got their week off to a good start at #F3DMZ.  And it went a bit like dis:

The Thang

Circle the parking lot for the stragglers.  Off to Carmel Middle School we went at a fairly good clip.

COT for a brief round of 20 SSH

Partner up and each pick out a rock (one ‘heavy’ rock and one ‘running’ rock)

Line up on lacrosse field for Triple 200’s – one partner perform called exercise with ‘heavy’ rock while the other runs 200 yards with the ‘running’ rock – flap jack until you get to 200 on called exercise.  Elbow plank when done.

1st 200 – curls

2nd 200 – overhead press

3rd 200 – T baggers

Quick plank work with a few 6 inchers

Drop the rocks and head to the hill by the baseball diamond for Triple Nickel.

Diamond merkins at bottom, wide at the top on the hill x 5

Mosey to front of school for Triple Sprints – 80 yard (roughly) sprints x 3 (actually 4)

AYO pace back to parking lot with 20 CDD’s at each speed bump

40 Dolly followed by 20 Dolly

Moleskine

So I got the call on Saturday to replace Agony who was going to be sick today.  I thought, no problem I’d be up for it.  Then came Sunday.  I decided it would be a good idea to build a fire pit in the back yard.  For those that know me, you would know that would not be a simple task, especially for me.  Now I know that just like dry wall and painting, building fire pits are something you pay to have done, right Haggis?  I completely underestimated the work and for that I was sore as all get out this morning.  Soooooooo, decided to go with a little different plan and run a bit more this morning.  If that upset anyone, I apologize.  I do know it would have been seriously disappointing to Semi Gloss who has been planning his entire last week on attending Fast Twitch tomorrow.  But he decided to fart sack this morning so…..I digress.  Not a lot of breaks today and certainly no 10 second countdowns.  It’s only 45 min.  Gotta get after it.

Good to see some familiar faces out there today but I really need to start making DMZ more often and get a chance to meet more of the metro guys.  Lot’s of noticeable strength out there.  However I will say that it was very obvious some of you (not just metro but A51 as well) could have had some bigger eyes for your ‘heavy’ rock.  However, there was one eager gent who’s eyes were bigger than he needed them to be when choosing his rock and unfortunately he was my partner.  Bug, I don’t know what the heck you were smoking this morning but that thing was ridiculous.  Felt like I had a bad case of elephantitis during the T bags.

The Weinke called for Triples all morning but had to audible during the Triple Sprints and call for one more.  Blame Hopper.  I think he was attempting to Q Jack.

Learned that Cheesecurd had quite the Saturday night.  He had to ask what the weather was like yesterday (beautiful and 70…in Feb) as he and his M marinated in their post libation caves all day.  Go big or go home.  Next time calls for a little hair of the dog for recovery bro.

Sound off if you have any other observations.

Enjoyed it gents.  As always, its a pleasure to lead such a fine group.  Thank you Snowflake for the prayer send off.
