No Time to Spare… 3.35

No Time to Spare… 3.35

12 PAX, posted on a perfect Monday morning to partake in another addition of F3’s finest. The mix between wind and temperature was about as good as it gets.

With the disclaimer duly given, we were off…

Warm up jog down Strawberry Ln and back to the school for COP

SSH (Side Straddle Hop) x 30

The Thang:

Suicides using the basketball goals as markers , then run over to the rocks.

20 rock curls, then run down to the bleachers for 20 dips.

Head to the track. 1 loop around the track with 5 LBCs at each corner.

Return to the start for round two

Suicides using the basketball goals as markers , then run over to the rocks.

20 rock curls, then run down to the bleachers for 20 dips.

Head to the track. 1 loop around the track with 5 LBCs at each corner.

On the track we did Planker’s Delight – PAX planked shoulder to shoulder, while groups of 2 went down the line doing two hand slap merkins with each man. Major thanks to DF and the originator TR (who was present).

 Then a recovery loop around the track.

Followed by 1 last loop around the track with 5 LCBs at each corner.

With no time to waste, and in an effort to hit at least the 3.0 that was promised in mileage, we finished up with 200 meter sprints down Strawberry Ln and an Indian Run back up Strawberry Ln to our original launch.

Finished up at exactly 45 minutes.

The official mileage came in at 3.35.

The Moleskin:

Excellent effort by everybody today. Not a lot of chatter but good camaraderie. Lots of catching our breath. The last two times I q’d basecamp we finished up a biscuit under 3 miles and was determined to get there today. Practice does make perfect (or more efficient).

It was nice to have Lorenzo out today. He heads off to pilot school for the next 3 months. We’ll look forward to having him back when he is an official twin engine pilot or as Lorenzo would say a fixed wing aircraft. He already pilot’s helicopters.

Chin Music was out front all day. He brought his first real six-string with him today. The one he bought at the five-and-dime.  Always nice to have him out pushing the PAX. Hammer, B-B-B-Bennie (and the his Jets), Adobe, Early Bird and Goonie were on his tail the entire time.

Thunder Road, Abba, Simba and Snoopy were at 100% effort as well. There was no real 6 today. Everybody did a nice job of pushing each other and staying together.

It’s always great when you get 100% effort from the PAX. I’m pretty sure driving to work today each of the PAX had a nice sense of accomplishment to start the week. Most are in bed or just getting started while we’re dripping with sweat… 3.35 miles and smoked shoulders. It was an honor to lead you guys.

Hairball. THANK YOU!!! Even though you’re on daddy duty and probably won’t see this I am very thankful for getting introduced to the world of F3 a year and a half ago. It’s been a wonderful experience for me. To all of you that see this, EH guys as often as you can. It’s a game changer for lots of folks. You can make a tremendous impact for somebody.

Simba… Thank you for taking us out. Well done!

Oh… and Goonie, thank you for not rubbing it in this morning. Perhaps you didn’t because you knew basketball practice starts this Friday. Or perhaps because beating a team that is 1-4 is not worth the effort of discussing. GH!

Announcements:

Joe David Run sign ups have started.

Goonie suggested checking out the video’s put out for Speed for Need. Very cool!!

Slim Fast, The Mouth, and Simba will round of the next 3 Basecamp Q’s for October.
