A-ROUND-OF-BURPEES-AGAIN



A-ROUND-OF-BURPEES-AGAIN

So this may tell you how sadistic I am but before we started the topic of burpees came up, One Star, started railing into some IDIOT (my words:)) doing a ridiculous amount of burpees to start a work out.   He went on and on,  me standing there part of the conversation realized quickly that he didn’t realize that the IDIOT that was ME (must have been the toboggan)! That said, I did plan on doing the burpees today but I was going to break them up during the work out but after hearing One Star,  I had no choice, we had to do the 12×12 again.  Sorry One Star,  it was your fault:)

WU:  20 SSH, 10 merkins, 20 MC, 15 IW

The Thang:  12×12 burpees,  simple 12 burpees a minute for 12 minutes.  Mosey over to the parking deck up the steps.  Rotate down each flight 5 burpees each flight alt. staircase.  Last,  5 times Squats at the bottom while running the deck as the loop.  Finished with some Mary at the bottom.

 

Moleskin:  So by the lack of discussion and what appeared to be some potential Merlot Tossing,  I think the 12X12 got everyone’s heart rate up, its a tough grind but these men hung in and pushed themselves. That said I think I saw Doc taking a nap around the 11th round for his 15 seconds of recovery.  Das boot, Snowfake and Madison worked their magic and pushed themselves,  ALF is a beast and it was great to see Hollywood back in the mix, always has a smile on his face.  Market Timer and Pop tart I think were cursing me the whole time while Cheddar and Turkey leg had the glory of less running after their recent running achievements (nice work men!).   As always I look forward to getting to know some new F3 folks and it was nice to connect with Astro for a few minutes after COT.  Nutter, Zeek and Uncle Leo looking forward to getting to know you all better and I promise the next q I do will not have burpees.  As always, honored to be part of F3 and given  the opportunity to lead,  love the fact this site is beginning to be a solid mix up of the 3 regions, folks like Crabcake, Snow, Das, Madison, Cheddar and Doc continue to bring unity to the regions.

Last,  just a thought,  I chose to work out in a well lite area for part of our work out so that we can “advertise” ourselves a little bit more to the area.  Lot of folks driving down 16 may see us and wonder,  so just food for thought as those apartments fill up we may want to make ourselves visible as best we can.

Wow. Looks like I picked a good morning to go to Joust. Burpee-free, although we did run a full lap around the track backwards. Weird.

Anyways, Beer Mile is on Friday, May 11, 6:30 pm at an undisclosed location off Hwy 51. We did it a year or two ago and it was a great time. Except not really for Alf and Turkey Leg – those guys may be fast but they are terrible at drinking beer quickly. Join the #beermile channel on Slack.

Great job Transporter! I thought 100 burpees in 10 minutes was crazy. 12 x 12 …insane
