Wristy Business

Aye, out of the Gloom came multiple Metro Clown Cars, gathering to check out the Union County phenomenon that is … Commitment. AP and OBT on the Q.

The Thang:

AP Leading: Mosey to open area.

COP with SSHs, squats, merkins (kind of), flutters.

Run to practice football field.

Four corners (10 merkins)
Four corners (20 knee-ups)
Four corners (10 burpees)
Four corners (10 Turkish Get-ups)

Mosey to game football field. Split into two groups.
Run to top of each stairwell and down. Five merkins.
Repeat until all bleachers completed.

Handoff to OBT.

OBT Leading: The Dirty MacDeuce

Set 1: Wide-Arms, LBCs, Mountain Climbers
1 lap around the track
Set 2: Stagger Merkins, R then L, Rosalita, Jumping Lunges
1 lap around the track
Set 3:  Jack Webbs (1 merkin, then 4 air presses x 12), Bicycles, Rock Hoppers
1 lap around the track
Set 4: Crab Rolls, Protractor, Burpees
1 lap around the track

Mosey back to the start for COT.

Spreadsheets from the Gloom:

_ AP: To me, the ultimate microcosm of F3 is the “lift-up workout.” Four years ago, I was out of town when The Rock’s workout started a trend that I say should never end. I’ve been on the receiving end of this while my M was recovering from a big surgery, and it’s one of the most powerful, moving experiences. I am and was honored to do this for Ice 9 and his M. Lots of Metro PAX in attendance. That was a testament to the man and his leadership.

_ OBT: Also great to see Bratwurst near his home turf. The Union County guys inform me that Marvin is the Eastover of Union County, so we really appreciate Brat’s willingness to slum with us over in hardscrabble Weddington.

_ AP: The first COP stalled a bit with a pinch in the wrist. I got deserved crap from the PAX/Incognitians for stopping the merkins and moving into something else. 50 flutters usually quiets the pax, and it did.

_ OBT: We had half of Team South Beach AND Pat Riley out for this workout, so Ice9 must be doing something right. Rumor has it the Black Tahoe got pulled over on 485 for an out-of-date license plate sticker and a trophy tied to the top of the vehicle; otherwise Cindy and 5-0 definitely would have been there.

_AP: LOVE this AO. Great for stairs, four corners, COPs, etc. Fun to do all of those.

_ OBT: All that, plus a nice track and a picturesque little bridge over the creek? I might need to look into those Union County taxes …

_BONUS: Chick-fil-a was doing free coffee day. Little did they know what hit them.

_ OBT: No one’s yet convinced me that Lizard’s Thicket in Cola isn’t the best Coffeeteria AO in all of F3, but … a trip to Commitment’s Chick-fil-A might be in order just to watch Ben Stein’s Money talk the counter girl into firing up the milkshake machine at 0745. Very strong.

_ T-Claps to Ice9 for what he has built with a ShovelFlag and a little #GingerLove. You guys have everything you need to build something great in UCo.

AP and OBT

I used to know, intellectually, that I should praise God in suffering. But I never understood in the absence of suffering. For true suffering fixes our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, which is eternal. Though Heather and I go through a trial that has put her very life in jeopardy, our vision has been narrowed: the eternal grows brighter, and the temporary anxieties and desires of this world fade. One of the things that has grown brighter for me has been the love burning through F3. Today that love burned especially brightly. Thank you. I am blessed.

We are incredibly blessed to have you truly show us what a godly man and servant leader looks like.

New respect for the #civic logging all those miles to @f3metro. #commitment

Paging Minute Man, paging Minute Man. You awake brother? That was definitely “all you got” — a big time effort like that deserves a nap. Excellent work.

Oh, and I almost forgot — that was a solid Chick-fil-a order from Ben Stein’s Money. That should’ve made the blast.

Thanks for the hype of Metro at Commitment! Great to see PAX that I old read about or see a few times annually. We’ll try to EH the old guy at the track next week…

Observation – PAX from Metro need to sit down during COT. PAX from zones SOFA generally stand at COT. Maybe we have more coyotes and need to be ready to flee to the cars at a moment’s notice?

I would have stayed around if I knew you guys did milkshakes for breakfast. I do expect to see some Asians next time I post.

It was a pleasure coming down to #commitment and seeing what you guys have ahead. Take care brothers.

The outpouring of support and love for Ice9 could be felt today. Truly a blessing to have Metro out in the sticks so we could get a glimpse of serious mumble chatter (I need to step up my game) and a solid downPAINment from AP and OBT.

It was nice to meet the guys I only read about on twitter like Red Tornado, OBT, and Red Dogs.

Dasher closing in on the bleacher stair master #Strong….. Corner of my eye caught a braten burning up the track #PanFry

Commitment regulars put in a solid effort, by the smiles amongst the pain I could tell they had a blast. I know I did! Aye!
