St. Valentine’s Freak Show at Outland. Is it still Friday the 13th?

St. Valentine’s Freak Show at Outland. Is it still Friday the 13th?

2 Shovel Flags were planted through the not-so-permafrost (yes…2 SFs), and then we jogged back 1/4 mile to the launch point from the SF plant location…what in the world Horsehead?  That was just one of a handful of random happenings at #F3Outland.

As the pax was mustering before the launch, Electric Slide puts on some freakish facemask that’s a skull mask…..what the heck?!  Random…and a bit unsettling.

Shortly after we launch, we see some dude running towards the pax wearing a giant snowman’s head.  Freak show.  Random.  Outland.   Turns out to be Snowman himself who apparently played some sort of creepy snowman in some winter/Christmas pageant.  He would pull off the monstrosity before COP.

Ye Olde Moleskine:

YHC got there a bit early to scout out the terrain as it was my maiden voyage to Outland.  Absolutely outstanding AO, by the way – 4 schools all connected, and we didn’t even venture over to the football stadium stairs, obstacle course and many other painful opportunities.

One of the pax was there before me, and as I pulled in Drop Thrill was moseying back from a prerun.  T-claps to DT, Horsehead, Glass Joe and EE? for the prerun.

YHC really was wondering what in the world Horsehead had invited me to with Electric Slide’s facemask, Snowman’s 1/2 costume.  Somewhat poetic that Snowman forgot his gloves…apparently was no room in the trunk with the Michelin Man headdress in there.  CT was nice enough to run back to his car to get extra pair of gloves.  It started out as a Freak Show, but methinks we delivered a good bit of pain.  Horsehead’s 11’s to start with Burpees and running across the field (50 yds or so?) was an early kick to the junk; but the pax pressed on.

The vertically challenged pax couldn’t quite do the plank walk on the handrail…sorry guys.  CT said there were other narrower handrails on campus, but I was set on getting on to the bus stop with the 15-20 brick walls – best setup for jump ups/Derkins that I’ve come across in all of F3.  #toogoodtobetrue  Glass Joe rightly guessed that was the main reason for the smile on YHC’s face after returning from the recon mission prior to launch.

Great comraderie at Outland.  Grateful for the invite to Q and enjoyed the 3rd F The Grindstone afterward as well – 10 posted for that.
