#FunFriday Bait and Switch?
18 men stepped into the probably typical but seemingly cold Friday AM gloom with the promise on the Twitter of some #FunFriday. This is how it went down:
Mosey to the near end of the track for quick circle and 20xSSH
Mosey to the far end of the track for a quick circle and 20xIW
Mosey to the near end of the track for a quick circle and 20xMtn Climbers (no one saw the forshadowing in that one)
Mosey to the far end of the track, next to Grandma Mountain for something new. Not 7s or 11s but 14s. Burpees at the bottom and squats at the top.
After that little bit of work we moseyed up Grandma one more time for some gym work. Partner up where P1 does AMRAP pullups while P2 does 30 LBCs and flapjack 3x.
Mosey to the far end of the field for a little push-a-rama – Merkins x10, Wide Merkins-10 and Diamond x5
Finally on to #FunFriday with relay races. 4 man teams for 25 yard sprints. In the Total Request Live segment, we did one round with bear crawls rather than sprints
Mosey back to cars for 10 burpees OYO
COT.
Moleskin:
1) Interesting how where you were yesterday influences what you think today. Stone Cold was in Tampa and this fine 35 degree morning felt cold. YHC had been in Pittsburgh this week where it was snowing with 23 wind chill yesterday this 35 felt great.
2) Yeti thinks we had a strong turnout due to a “magnetic” Q. YHC thinks it was the #FunFriday in the tweet
3) Why 14s up Grandma? Simple answer is that 1+2+3+…+14=105 so it’s another way to get to 100 burpees and a lot of trips up the hill
4) Amazing how fast you feel running on the flat track after all those trips up Grandma
5) Doesn’t appear the PAX watch many track or swimming relays. Somehow the 4 man relay had about 12 legs. Might have something to do with all the BRR training the PAX does. Relays don’t have to be 200+ miles…
6) Good to have Les Mis back for a time from South Africa for a bit

Post-workout audit revealed that it’s a good thing we did the 10 OYO burpees. That put us over 100. 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13=91. We didn’t do a 14/0 round on the mountain, thankfully. That was terrible. I’m not sure what Baracus and Stone Cold were doing off to the side there – lots of chatter, not many burpees.
Good lead, Leo. It was good to see a few guys I haven’t worked out with in a while. Yeti appropriately mocked my pull-up effort. I was pretty proud of getting 3 in each round.
Funky Cold is one of my favorite F3 nicknames; one I use when telling non-F3 people about our nicknames. His last name is Miedema (ma-dee-ma). I would’ve also accepted Tone Loc. Right up there with Micah Tyson (Glass Joe) in the nicknames-derived-from-real-name category.
