The Thang:

Mosey off campus, down Rt.51 stopping at Elm for Merkins x 10, Flutter kicks x 10, LBCs x 10. Keep moving to the old Day Zero AO for more the the same, Merkins x 10, Flutter kicks x 10, LBCs x 10, the PAX was sensing a theme at this point.

Partner up, size and speed doesn’t matter. Partner 1 performs called exercise at the benches in front of the school while Partner 2 takes a lap around the worst parking lot in Area 51. Flapjack.

• Round 1: Dips
• Round 2: Step-ups
• Round 3: Derkins

Mosey back on Carswell, stopping at the corner of Bevington. Staying with your partner, Partner 1 performs called exercise while Partner 2 runs up Carswell to the second light post and back, then flapjack.

• Round 1: Squats
• Round 2: Lunges

On the move again, down Bevington stopping at Silver Pine and the Corner of Bevington/Elm for more Merkins x 10, Flutter kicks x 10, LBCs x 10. Head back up Elm stopping at the corner of Elm/51 for you guessed it, Merkins x 10, Flutter kicks x 10, LBCs x 10.

Mosey back to Calvary for some Mary.

Moleskinny:

• Strong effort by the PAX today, we covered 3.5 miles according to my watch. YHC likes the #PearlsOnAString workout, a great way to keep things moving, get some PT, and tack on the mileage while keeping the PAX together.
• Honestly, YHC couldn’t recall the Rock Zero rules as stated in Flipper’s manifesto, but I think it included something about partner work, minimum mileage. YHC searched f3southcharlotte.com for said manifesto but was unable to locate it, maybe it was not migrated over with the old backblasts.  YHC believes we’re covered and Hoover agreed.
• Welcome FNG Meatball (Steve) who was Eh’d by Purple Haze via another PAX, F3 name unknown. Haze didn’t show, but at least he let Meatball know ahead of time he wouldn’t be there. Meatball still showed up, that’s the hardest part, keep coming. Haze, we’ll be holding your commision since you didn’t post but you get the EH credit anyway.
• Meatball was named by Gummy and Cheese Curd on the way down 51 based on the monkey in Cloudy And A Chance of Meatballs who says “Steve” frequently throughout the movie.
• Gummy immediately complained (no surprise there) when we hit the fresh cut grass for PT rather than on the road.
• Hoover noted that the ladies running on the sidewalk think we’re beasts because we stop and do push-ups along the way.
• There was some mumble chatter about the origin of “merkin”, per Gummy, don’t Google it at work.
• Gummy was still hurting from getting schooled at basketball by his 2.1. Don’t know what Gummy feeds him but will be 7 feet tall before he gets out of high school.
• Great to see Cheese Curd back in form after a long sting on IR. His M raised the stakes today participating in her first GORUCK event, looks like Cheese Curd will need to step up and do the same.
• Hoover was crushing the hill repeats on Carswell, keep it up.
• The PAX did a great job minding the six, reminding us it’s not about you and watch out for each other.
• Thanks to Flipper and Hoover for the opportunity to lead and please sound off with any mumble chatter.
