Three Headed Hydra
The virtual shovel flag was planted and 16 of F3’s finest gathered at Hydra to slay the beast. The PAX was closer to the Q’s age than the young guys down at Centurion so I didn’t have to put up with disrepect.
The Thang:
COP with SSHX25, Mtn Cilmbers X20, Diamond Merkins X10, Wide Arms X10, Jumping lunges X15, and 10 OYO Burpees
Mosey behind school after grabbing pavers and jump ropes from Q’s SUV to start the three headed Hydra
Head 1 – three man relays. Man 1 at Station 1- Jump Rope, Man 2 at Station 2 – Jump ups and decline merkins, Man 3 job to other station with paver for hand off. Three circuits (YHC wisely chose the only team with 4 men – crafty).
Head 2 – Mosey to baseball field for 7 innings – Half the pax jogs around outfield fence and half stays at home base for called exercise and groups switch after each lap
- Inning 1 – Turkish get up (at least it wasn’t wet – a lot of crying and movement to gass infiled)
- Inning 2 – One legged squat
- Inning 3 – One legged squat (the other leg)
- Inning 4 – Mountain climbers
- Inning 5 – Squats
- Inning 6 – Burpees
Head 3 – Mosey to field near parking lot for gassers – Plank active recovery with sprints in between (4 or 5 round trips)
3 MOM – High flutter, Rosailta
COT
Perfect size crowd and perfect weather although LIFO by Donkey Kong blew up my Weinke (to my advantage). We went from perfect 3 man teams to one four man team but that meant less carrying by YHC (#wiley) and Hopper (your welcome).
Didn’t know why I didn’t recognize many from the mud run but it became clear once the moans about having to turkish getups in the dirt infield. This is F3 – we get dirty.
As always, an honor to lead such a great group.
Announcements:
Please pray for BOG. Got the word today that he is doing much better. Let’s think about safety (consider ID bracelet, having someone carry a phone, learn CPR, and generally watch out for your brother)
Consider donating to F3 golf tournament to support The Leap.

Unsavory all around. Each progressive “hydra head” got uglier than the one before. Gassers were endless, thank you.
Other than that, not a bad Q for someone on the wrong side of #respect.
Donkey King was LIFO, but First In on most of the diamond laps. And that Baracus guy; where did he come from? Smoke Boots
Chelms looks like a good one. Enjoyed your Twitter callout. Burnin midnight oil making the early ups extremely tough these days. Thanks for your leadership out there brother.
And congrats again to Puddin Pop who has taken command as Site Q of hydra.
Good roster of names showed up. See you all in the gloom soon. Big time prayers to BOG! He has been a hydra regular and we will look to see him back and healthy, lord willing.
