I highly dislike wet feet and planks

I highly dislike wet feet and planks

Tuesday morning…I think it marks 5 straight days of rain and YHC seriously dislikes those boot camps that end up being rolling around the mud or planking in the biggest puddle at the AO just because we are F3 and can.  Knowing we were expecting heavy showers again overnight, YHC had a different idea.  Keep the feet dry and no planking at all.

5:30: Disclaimer given and advanced warning about the above did bring in some mumbles that the wrong shoes were selected for a “Dry” workout.  (Sorry HairBand)

7 Pax begin the Mosey to the Indian Trail town Hall.

Set of headlights coming around the corner hot.. We all know this vehicle so we modify the run to include a detour to collect the good Shepard… (We leave no man behind at Thrive) … and continue to the Town Hall.

Circle up from some COP

(But 1^st we must honor the UC traditions: 5 burpees OYO as down painment for Shepard. ? )

• Low Slow Squats (IC x 20)
• SSH (IC x20)
• 5 Merkins (IC x 15)

Reverse Indian Run around the Town Hall front lot circle

• The pax in the front takes off around the circle catching the back of the PAX setting the next pax in the front off to do the same until all pax have completed.

Leaving the Town Hall with an F2 pace mosey to the steps overlooking the outdoor Volleyball courts

Short Mosey to the Tennis courts.  (Side note… been attending Thrive for almost a year now fairly regular and have never seen the Tennis Courts used in a bootcamp so I was unsure if there was an unspoken rule against using them…Hope not)

DORA 1,2,3:  Partner workout (pax one runs to the far line of 2^nd tennis court, performs 2 Burpees and returns as pax two is performing set exercise.  As a team completing the count.  When your team completes final exercise you join in with a team not completed to help finish their sets.)  #NOPLANKING

Solid Union County PAX today to help push YHC through the workout and I appreciate them allowing me to try out a few new things I have picked up on my gypsy style adventures to other F3 regions. (Reverse Indian run (A51), 1.5 Merkins (Hampton Roads), tennis court Dora (Lexington KY), LBC for 6 vs Planking (Birmingham AL), and slow flutter kicks (Lexington KY).  I encourage all pax to get out and visit other areas to meet the members of F3 Nation that are beyond the confines of your regular AO.  Listen to their stories and see what drives their region.  Then bring it back and share it with us.  If you need a ride to one I will pick you up. ?

Also:  if you have not read Glass Joe’s BB from his Q on Saturday, you need to!!

I will help you find it: ( https://f3southcharlotte.com/2018/05/19/be-more/ )
