The Working Man

The Working Man

19 pax mustered in the cheese-grater parking lot at Trinity Presbyterian Church for another late morning edition of #F3Fortress.

YHC started with a disclaimer which was met with many blank stares and a good bit of confusion.

Backup, a late arrival, planted the SF and joined us along with Raider and a couple other stragglers.  Flutie Flakes & Level 10 were 15 minutes earlier, both forgetting the 5;45am launch, thinking it was 5:30am.

So we launched with YHC not terribly sure where we were going as the AO was unfamiliar but we made it work….I think.

The Thang:

Run to the front (I think) entrance to the church for COP.  We about gave some dude a heart attack.  He was walking his Shitzu & Pomeranian.  If I ever have the misfortune of walking two ridiculous dogs like that, I’d do it in the dark at 5:45am, too. #friendsdontletfriendswalklapdogs

Frankly can’t remember exactly what we did or how many reps, but we did slow squats, H-R merkins, 6-count burpees, slow flutters & IW’s…of course.

We then moseyed to the pile of pulverized concrete – apparently Trinity Pres. is building a larger parking lot to make room for more Sunday morning attendees.  Partner up and pick a good lifting rock.

Partner 1 runs about 75 yards down & back while Partner 2 does overhead press. Flapjack.

We also did thrusters, squats, tricep extensions & bicep curls.

Jog over to Providence Prep School for some people’s chair with  25 overhead presses.

I think we might have done some Dancing Chilcutt prior to leaving the Trinity Pres compound but I can’t remember.

After Providence Prep, we froggered it over to St. Gabe’s for a Triple Nickel of H-R Merkins, Backwards bear crawls & Jump Squats.

We then froggered it back to the Fortress AO, circling up for 8 min. & 47 seconds of Mary with the following or something akin to it:

American Hammer, Freddie Mercury, Cumberland County Viaducts, Makthar N’Djaiye’s, LBCs and ???

Run back to launch lot.  5 More 6-count burpees.

Done.

Ye Olde Moleskine:

Noonan tapped me to Q a few weeks ago when YHC brought an FNG to Fortress.  Good crew this morning.  Even my fellow Area51 pax Crotch Rocket made it.  Noonan was killing it on the Triple Nickel.  My partner Sump was really moving on the AYG runs.  T-claps.

T-claps also to Sir Topham for running in, and thanks to Grapevine for giving YHC some intel on the AO prior to the workout….though he did tell me there was a hill which apparently has been whittled down.

Hope my Metro brethren felt they got their money’s worth. Likely a pattern interrupt for the Metro pax in that we only went about 2 miles and actually did a good bit of core work, plank work, and we actually set our feet on some grass during the Triple Nickel.  #cobains

I’ll be back even if Noonan did say I may have worn out my welcome.

Thanks to Grapevine for taking us out in prayer.

Announcements:

F3 Expansion Czar, aka Crotch Rocket, spoke of several new Leap destinations – Chicago, St. Louis & Austin.  Talk it up.

F3 Golf tourney hosted by Area51 on Friday, October 27th to benefit the aforementioned LEAP efforts.  Sign up.  Please.  Metro’s not yet built a wall along Fairview, so you can get to the golf course in Area51 in about 20’ish minutes.  There is life, civilization, intelligence and indoor plumbing south of Fairview.

See you in the gloom soon fellas.

Thanks for the hospitality.  I’ll be back.
