We should do WHAT to the guy in front of us?

20 pax enjoyed an extra hour of sleep then joined their F3 brothers for a (mostly enjoyable) sweat this glorious morning. Here’s what produced aforementioned perspiration:

COP: gather around the flag pole that was supposed to have a flag on it, to honor our veterans and those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country. SCMS fail.

SSH x 25 IC
LSS x 15 IC
IW x 25 IC
Merkins x 15 IC

Split Thang:

Goonie up. Mosey down Strawberry to Fairway Downs Ct. for a round of 7’s. 1 burpee at the start of the street, run to the cul-de-sac for 6 jump squats. Continue until 6/1. Orange Whip led plank exercises while waiting on the 6. Joker did some plank but mostly refused.

Mosey further down Strawberry to calls of “You’re going the wrong way!” Marge pleaded for another round of 7’s on Rosecliff, but time didn’t allow. Cobains, Marge. Gathered on Rosecliff at the bottom of the hill. Backwards run up to Strawberry, mosey back down, 5 burpees, then backwards run back up and gather at the corner. This was sneaky difficult.

Mosey back to launch. Fireman Ed up.

Mosey down to the bleachers. One round of 40 dips and 40 supine pull ups. Mosey to the outfield of one baseball field for a rousing, fun round of Tunnel of Love. Originally called for all the way across the field, but that didn’t happen, as Joker (once again) basically led a mutiny. Got about 61% across the field, and an audible was called. Planker’s Delight on the way back. 2 rounds of merkins and 2 rounds of CDDs.

One more round of 40 dips/40 supine pull ups and then to the outfield of the adjacent field for everyone’s favorite, Mr. JAck Webb. 1 merkin and 4 air presses. Made it up to 8 merkins and 32 air presses before time was called. Mosey back to launch for Name-O-Rama.

Announcements:

Area 51 gear is on sale. I’m sure High Tide will put a link in the comments section.

Beaver’s son just graduated from college and is looking for a job as an IT something. If you’re a computer dork and looking for a flunkie, get in touch with Beaver.

Moleskine

Highlights of the day include:

Wild Turkey and Prohibition running in. Pro wore his nice fancy running shoes because he didn’t think they’d get dirty (no way we’d spend a lot of time in the grass at a convergence!).

In 2 years at Base Camp, we’ve never used the Fairway Downs section. Not a bad little route. Add that to the rotation.

Pax did NOT like it when YHC headed for Rosecliff after the round of 7’s. It wasn’t that bad. Suck it up.

Fireman Ed was not very popular after the workout. A lot of pax are going to have trouble working the spatula or lifting their 12-oz. curls today.

During the Planker’s Delight, Ed called out “Go down with the person in front of you.” A lot of guys thought he said “On.” ‘Nuff said.

Have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day. Keep our vets and fallen heroes in our hearts, as they allow us the freedom to do wonderful things such as F3. Goonie out.
