Who Posts Outside in these Conditions???

Low 40’s, steady light rain on a Friday morning.  Both Site Q’s DR due to other commitments.  Chelms out, per prior evening text, as he had to take his 2.1 to get her Driver’s Permit, or at least that was his excuse.  Not sure what to expect as I headed to Charlotte Catholic to Q at Centurion.  No worries, 9 other PAX arrived in time to join me for another weekly beatdown.

With Cheddar rolling in at 0528 hours after not finding anyone at The Brave, we had a total of 10 ready to roll.  YHC gave a heartwarming disclaimer which did not seem to make Lorax feel all warm and fuzzy.  Just wanted to remind everyone they were out here of their own choosing and that though I would be suggesting exercises for them, they were responsible for choosing to participate or not.

Here’s what we did:

Nice easy jog over to Tartarus and up the ramps to the top and then back down Stairwell 1 for COP on the ground floor of the parking deck.

COP

• SSH x 20 IC
• IW x 20 IC
• Squats x 15 IC
• Cotton Pickers x 15 IC
• Merkins x 15 IC
• Peter Parker x 15 IC
• Mountain Climber x 15 IC
• Shoulder Taps x 15 IC
• LBC x 20 IC
• Flutter x 15 IC

Head over to the bottom of the Ramp on the 1st Level for a little warm-up:

• Lunge walk up ramp, jog back down
• Backwards run up ramp, jog back down
• Karaoke (left shoulder lead) up ramp, jog back down
• Karaoke (right shoulder lead) up ramp, jog back down

With everyone properly warmed up, time for a little deck work up all 4 levels.  With a nice cool rain making conditions outside not the best, decided we would spend the morning making good use of Tartarus.  2 rounds up the deck as follows:

• R1 – Run up the ramp to mid-point for 10 Merkins, back around the flat section to Level 2 for 10 Jump Squats.  Make your way up to the top of the deck and then head down Stairwell 1 to the base of Ramp at Level 1.  Front runners lead Mary until the Six is in.
• R2 – Rinse & repeat with CDD and Old Fashioned Sit-ups.

With everyone back at Level 1 after finishing R2, time for some wall work.

• People’s Chair w/ 40 Air Presses (60-90 sec)
• Lunge walk to other side of deck
• 15 Donkey Kicks
• Lunge walk to other side of deck

Time for a little Partner work up the stairs.  With 10 PAX on hand we had 5 teams of 2.  Instructions provided as follows:

• 5 Hand Slap Merkins then Partner 1 up Stairwell 1 and Partner 2 up Stairwell 2.  Meet at each Level for additional 5 Hand Slap Merkins, all the way to the top.  Back down to Level 1 for R2.
• 5 Dumbocrats for each Partner, then back up the Stairwells.   Meet at Levels 2 & 3 for 5 Dumbocrats each and then work your way back down repeating the Dumbocrats at each Level.

Just enough time left for a variation of Jack Webb and a little Mary:

• Jack Webb with 1 Merkin/4 Shoulder Taps up to 5 Merkins/20 Shoulder Taps
• 3 MOM with Dolly, Flutter, Protractor

Back to launch for COT

NMM:

• Never ceases to amaze me the viability of F3.  Late October with temps in low 40’s and a pretty good rain as I drove to the Charlotte Catholic campus.  Surely not too many guys going to roll out of bed and make the decision to show up in these conditions.  However, by time 0530 rolls around, 10 PAX are on hand to run around for 45 min.
• Great to have Bout Time back out at Centurion.  Glad to hear that Jennings is doing well after spending 100ish days at St Jude’s Children’s Hospital.  Palmer family thankful for all the prayers and support from F3 Nation.
• TClaps to Cheddar for his post.  Drove to The Brave for 0515 launch and arrived couple minutes late.  Wild Turkey, upon finding no one posting for his Q, had headed over to Cerberus to post.  Rather than head home and get in another hour or so of sleep, Cheddar made his way over to Centurion to join us in time for our launch.  Good to have him out there with us and provided us with an even number for the Partner work.
