Taking the Fun out of Fridays…

Taking the Fun out of Fridays…

Not really. I debated to make everyone carry around brick pavers for the first workout as site Q but decided against it when I explained it to my wife and she just gave me that look. Some good advice I got from Horsehead once, don’t try to do too much, keep the group together and keep it simple. We did all of that….and added 100 burpees in McGee’s mother’s honor.

What had happened….

Jog down to lower lot for warmups – SSH, LSS, Merkin

7s on the hill – Burpees on the bottom, hand release merkins on at the top (21 burpees down)

Run to new field (Horse Dog field in honor or our retired site Q’s) – Partner up

3 burpees to start

1. Run across field with partner and do 10 hand slap merkins, run back and do 3 burpees
2. Run across field with partner and do 8 hand slap merkins, run back and do 3 burpees
3. Run across field with partner and do 6 hand slap merkins, run back and do 3 burpees
4. Run across field with partner and do 4 hand slap merkins, run back and do 3 burpees
5. Run across field with partner and do 2 hand slap merkins, run back and do 3 burpees

39 Burpees down

Run over to parking lot where 8 cones were put down. Follow the lot down to the church and at each cone do 5 burpees.

79 burpees down

Go over to new oval staircase

• People’s chair with 50 air presses
• Partner one does derkins on wall, Parner 2 runs stairs (flapjack)
• Parner one does jump squats, Partner 2 runs stairs (flapjack)

Run over to parking lot

• Partner one does jump ups and dips – Parner 2 runs (flapjack)

Over to curb – sprint to one side, do 4 burpees, back to do 5, and back to do 5 more

93 burpees down

Suicide Indian run around median – this just flat out didn’t work so let’s forget this ever happened….mmmkay?

Circle up – V-ups, LBCs, Crab toe touches, Freddy Mercury. 5 burpees for good measure aaand we’re done.

98 burpees total?

Moleskine

Somehow I only counted 98 burpees in my head but Rhapsody and Bulldog were both keeping track for me and I know we got it. Regardless do 2 burpees tonight so you can live with yourself.

Puddin Pop, Witch Doctor and Squid were hauling on the 5 burpee sidewinder…several guys said they were only doing merkins at each cone….that’s okay.

Brown and Bananas carried most of the chatter throughout the workout. I could sense some revolt with a new site Q at the beginning and tried to shut them down with 7s but it didn’t quite work. There was some talk on how I took the “Fun out of Fridays” but I’ve seen much harder days at Kevlar. The fun is just beginning…

Squid was doing double duty on the 7s, hitting up burpees on both ends. He certainly made it to 100.

It was nice to see Turkey Leg outside of the Cage. He was pumping max iron at the Siskey on Thursday morning. F3 guys hate getting caught amongst the soccer moms and Zumba classes but there is an agreement that we never talk of it again…except online.

Tolkien and Joker were lifting too.

Lex Luthor lost the 30lb backpack. He’s getting soft on us. He did remind me that 5×8 is 40, not 45 so his mind is still there.

The suicide Indian Run was too far of a loop…it worked at another site with a smaller cirlce. I heard the group kept the pace up so that we couldn’t catch up. Low blow guys. Crash and burn on that one.

Rhapsody (whom many of you call my better half) was back from an appendectomy…still the fastest one there. Check the App State records for decathaletes and you’ll find his name there, then you can feel better the next time he smokes you in a foot race. He is a different breed. In the past year he’s lost 1/2 a lung and his appendix. He’s at least 1.3lbs lighter because of it so he’s only getting faster.

No announcements – thanks to Harley for taking us out.

It’s an honor to lead this site with Fault Line. So grateful for F3 and for each of you guys.
