Ascent meets Olympus

YHC pulled into OP to see High Tide getting extra credit with a Pre KB routine. Impressive with our 1st cold morning in a while. YHC will take the cold and dry any day over what the last 2 weeks have been. SF was firmly planted, 8 pax gathered to take on what Ascent and Olympus had to offer. Properly disclaimed, some might question that, off we went into the gloom.

Mosey to the other Parking for Warm Up with SSH, IW, LSS, and MC.
Next the Q confused everyone with sub par explanation.
3 corner grinders. One runner, AMRAP at each corner until runner reaches you, then run to the next corner.
Corner 1 – Merkins
Corner 2 – Squats
Corner 3 – CDD
We did 1 round when Gummy and Hopper arrived. Added a 4th corner of Lunges for 3 more rounds.
Mosey to concession area for Circuit Work:
Dips X 15, Lateral Lunges X 10 each leg and Merkins X 15.
Rinse & Repeat
Mosey to back of the school & grab some wall for the following:
Hands out in front and Mall Cop 30 second 10 count with some type of Jane Fonda criss crossing of hands movement. Not sure what happened here.
2 rounds of People’s Chair with 50 air presses.
Mosey back to launch for for Gullah to take the 2nd half:
Per the Tweet on Friday, KB’s were brought and had plenty for all.
AMRAP as follows:
1) 5 minuntes of 15 KB Swings & 5 burpees
2) 5 minutes of 10 Goblet Squats & 10 Merkins
3) 5 minutes of 5 Lawnmower pulls each arm, 10 Upright Rows, 10 Good Mornings
4) 10 minutes of 10 Presses, 5 per side Suitcase Lunge, 5 per side High Pulls
Take a lap around the mini track and back for Mary:
Pax Call went something like this(Probably missed a couple so sound off if needed.
*Crunch with Press
*Russian Twist with bell
*Dolly
*Rosalita
*Peter Parkers
*Flutter Press
*Louganis

Done.
Great group out there with plenty of opportunity to push yourself & 2nd F. YHC was off this morning with confusing instructions and not adapting to site conditions, as more circuit work was planned not realizing the playground would still be flooded, then forgot to add it in at other places. I left Gullah with more than 30 minutes, as 1 pax commented, “that was a quick 30 minutes.” Yes, it was because it was not 30 minutes. Thanks for picking up my slack, Gullah!
Great to be out there with everyone. Good to have some new pax out at Ascent and others stopping by for the 1st time in a while.
Welcome to FNG Curry. EH’d by Gullah. Great job out there today. Look forward to seeing you out in the gloom soon.
YHC took us out. Always an honor to lead the men of F3.

Thanks for letting us join you guys. The soreness in my legs this morning reminds me that it’s been a while since I’ve done a KB workout. Ouch.
