Gathered in Parking Lot at 5:15 Temperature was unseasonable warm in the 60’s. Was nice to wear short sleeves and no hat. First time Que for me in F3. I was sure of the exercises I wanted to perform that morning. We had the usual large crowd for this site. 18 were counted. Got a few tips from Mermaid (the seasoned veteran of F3). Gave disclaimer and off we went.
COP:
Ran down Little Ave and eventually came to shopping center at the corner of Hwy 51 and Carmel Rd. Warmed up with jerkins, side straddle hops and LBC’s. Little did I know that I was not announcing each exercise correctly. Heard a few jeers from the gallery!! More on that later.
Thang:
Divided into partners with each one running up the opposite stair case and when meeting , performing 10 merkins, (1st time), 10 Freddie’s (2nd time) and 10 Burpee’s (3rd time). After 3 revolutions, waited in the plank position
We preceded down Hw 51 to the picnic benches in from of CC High School. We proceeded with 10 jump ups, 10 dips and 10 durkins. Did this for 3 revolutions. Arms started getting tired!!
We then made our way to the big parking garage. Starting from beginning, we ran up the short ramp and did 5 merkins at each corner before reaching the top.
After a shorts rest we performed suicides. (brings back high school memories). Sprinted for 1/3 of the length of parking deck (back), 2/3 (back). 100% and back. After one, decided we could do 1 more suicide.
When done, we still had about 10 minutes to spare. Decided we would do more merkins, LBC’s and Freddie’s ect. At this point, I realized I was not properly announcing each exercise. Got a little help from Chelms and Paper Jam. Correct procedure is “Starting position, move, in cadence, exercise”.
Back to starting point. Had about 30 seconds to some more Burpees. Done, finally. My first Q complete.!
Thanks to several guys who gave me some pointers for next time Q. Need to watch video on F3 web site. Will definitely be better prepared and informed on my next Q. Will be Anvil on March 21!
