Chelms Bday Beatdown…Respect

Chelms Bday Beatdown…Respect

16 strong men assembled to help Centurion co-site Q Chelms aka Tater Tot celebrate the milestone of RESPECT.  50 years old, for those outside the “know.”  YHC began by presenting a custom F3 “paver.”  No need to carry it today.  Off we went.

Centurion was YHC’s first post just over 2 years ago.  Cut my F3 teeth on Chelms aka Tater Tot Q’s.  Appreciative of the leadership at this AO and within F3.  Pleasure to lead this group of men in a birthday beatdown.

Notes from the field:

Spasmo Spartan Burpee was best YHC could do to properly name a churpee.  Thank you for the demonstration in COP Chelms.

Restrictor plate repeats at Palatine were included to provide a race-type set.  We all know Chelms enjoys them.  It was noted that Chelms likely is the all-time leader for false-starts, hence the merkins to start.  He still started ahead of the call on set #1.  Always ready to go.

Restrictors changed hands several times.  YHC, Dory, Pebbles, Brushback x 2, Brisket, Chelms, Purple Haze, Scabby (x2?), Teddy.  Probably missing a few names here.  Pax were flying.  Group was staying close.  Scabby almost won a round with a restrictor.

Brushback always flies on sprints.  Even after a vacation (taper) with the M in the Keys.

Teddy is always fast.

Margo and Scabby ran in and back.

Dory was Larry Bird on some of the repeats and on both of the bench set combos.

Mary was a little tough.  That was a lot of reps.

Great to see Abacus who has been spending most of his free time with his calculator and tax forms.  Still crushing it out there.

Pebbles, Margo, Cane, Garbonzo, Red Rocks, Beaker, and Heartbreaker brought the A-game and made it look easy.

Great work men.  Thanks for coming out.  Thanks for takeout prayer in BOM from Chelms.

Announements

Blades of Glory has been released from the hospital.  Back on his feet.  Thank you to all who lifted him and his family up in prayer.  Please continue to do so.

Memorial Day Murph hosted by Indianland pax.  Monday at 8:00 after the regularly schedule workouts.  Erased the voice memo and forgot location.  Pebbles is contact.
