Tic Tic Boom!



Tic Tic Boom!

On Sunday, I checked the handy-dandy f3southcharlotte.com website for a heads up on the Foxhole Q. Seeing nothing, I checked in with SiteQ Argonaut asking if he needed some assistance. Thus, I became your Foxhole Q. Lesson #1 – Don’t wait to be asked to do something, step up.

Warm-up
Short track jog around the school’s front parking lot.
Side straddle hops x 15
Halo x 10
Imperial walkers x 10
Around the world x 10
Low, slow squat x 10
Figure 8 x 10

The Clock
12 exercises (hours) 60 reps each (minutes). The only rule is that you can’t leave an hour until all the repetitions are complete. Rest as much as needed. If you finish, it’s 720 reps!

A half-sheet of paper marked the spot for PAX to complete the listed exercise.
Stagger ‘Mericans on bell (30 each side)
American swings
Alternating swings
Squat
Curl
Lunge (30 each side)
2-handed swing
Snatch (30 each side)
Skull crusher
Shoulder press (30 each side)
Burpee w/ bell swing
Row (30 each side)

Moleskine
First, bonus points to General, Argonaut and Cobbler for the pre-run. Plus, it was great to see Foxhole newcomer McGee and out-of-towner, but frequent poster, Yogi. (Both Yogi and McGee showed up sans bell, but Soft Pretzel and Frehley’s shared their extras. Thank you!!)

The workout is tough. I don’t think most finished. (General def did.) The burpee with bell-swing definitely caused the greatest delay. If I do this again, I’ll take that out. I originally had pull-ups but feared it would be too difficult. Lesson #2 Go with your gut!

Soft Pretzel seemed to be in his own world far from most pax. We could keep an eye on him and he was powering through. Argonaut lost his shirt 10 minutes in. Frehley was the first to complain about the music. (He’s not a fan of NIN.) McGee dispensed some music trivia and puzzled over Spotify’s algorithms.

More wisdom from the Clock –
We all get a day to complete our task, use your time wisely.
It’s ok to take a break, but not too long – there’s work to be done.
It’s better to work together than independently.
Music helps.
Swearing (a little) helps.
Time flies when you’re hard at work.

Thanks for stepping up WT. Solid lead, I’m feeling it already.
