Run back to launch site with burpees along the way. Total of 3 sets of 5 count each. AYG from McMahan Dr. to Launch site. 10 burpees OYO and we’re done!

MOLESKIN
Awesome turnout today, nearly doubling up the count I saw for #F3TheBrave (ok, there’s my small jab for the day). We covered 3.25 miles and everyone pushed hard. YHC decided to take the PAX to a different location than usual. There was a curveball when the parking lot for the Merkin ladder was pitch black. YHC did a “drive by” yesterday morning after Rebel Yell and the lights were on. Apparently the lights come on at 06:00. Merkin Ladder was tough as always. It was dark but YHC is confident the PAX maintained perfect form. Run stopper and Mermaid are machines when it comes to Merkins. Run Stopper, that was cruel calling 6 inches in plank work after the Merkin Ladder. As always, a pleasure to lead this fine crew.

Announcements:

Solid Q Margo. Good bit of running and strength work. Strong crew at Centurion as usual. I had been eyeballing that particular area in drive bys this week. Nice to visit some new territory. Guess I will take that area off the list for my Centurion Q next week. So many options around CCHS. Great start to the day.

Never thought of that. Hmmm…

New co-site Q got off to a great start. Good change of scenery and the merkin ladder was terrible. Q also deftly wrestled back the lead after the attempted hijack by RS.

Don’t feel bad at all about the chide at The Brave crew – Madame T lights the #firewood every week.

That one hurt. One of the longer Triple Nickels I can recall. And the merkin ladder was a nice kick in the teeth to get things started. Been a while since we had visited that parking lot (Jamboree led us over there a while back). Apparently all of the nearby lots must keep the lights off until 6:00 am. Nice lead Margo.

Unfortunately the CCHS parking lot light goes out at 5:15 for the day. RS needs to talk to senior management (he’s much closer to them then YHC)

Great lead, Margo. Congrats on being awarded the coveted co-site Q title. Way to step up and lead.

That was definitely the longest triple nickel I’ve done and the burpees weren’t appreciated after the merkin ladder.

As always, it was good to post with the boys of Centurion. I enjoyed the Twitterchatter last night as well. Next time, we’ll have to get Jevlar involved, too.

Sounds like a great lead Margo. We will have to get a Q exchange program going. Also, to voodoo’s point I am sure that both this workout and the brave was harder than Jevlar. Let the mumble chatter begin.
