While our Saturday morning AO competition has spent recent days designing sorority worthy slogans for the golf outing, The Rock and Olympus have been desigining a MAN worthy workout for tomorrow. Come to The Rock for a convergence with Olympus where you will get a smoker on your upper body, core and cardio. The pain stations will be plentiful!! See you tomorrow at Calvary Church at 7:00 sharp! If you prefer to play with markers and create catchy phrases, then definitely go to Day Zzzzzero. I hear they might braid each other’s hair tomorrow.
It was @F3Golf day. That day of the year where every hacker has a chance for glory. Teams were prepping their batting order trying to figure out who could handle nerves most effectively. Who should putt last? Who should tee off first? Do we switch up the order if the birdies aren’t falling? Oh, there were many pressing questions on this infamous day, April 30th, 2015. However no question was more pressing than should Hydra and Meathead converage on such a day because of @F3Golf? Would Meathead have enough guys in attendance or do you think guys would skip the KB to ensure a smooth golf swing that afternoon? Maybe we should converge. I mean, it is a holiday of some sorts, right? You either took the day off or maybe asked for a half day? Or if you are an insurance guy, you were just doing what you always do this time of year. But how do you converge two sites that are extremely different from one another? One a 0.0 and the other one headed, water monster beast with one eye (or something like that). So the powers that be called in the experts. This is how the story rolls:

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.
