Ignition Backast



Ignition Backast

Don’t call it a comeback

I’ve been here for years

(Well about 3.5 years but had a 2 year injury filled hiatus)

I’m rocking my new hips

Puttin’ suckers in fear

Makin’ the tears rain down like a monsoon

(It was more of a fine mist this morning)

Listen to the bass go boom

Explosions, overpowerin’

Behind the competition I’m now the six

Eating an egg sandwich when I write this backblast

13 men gathered for what turned out to be a great morning for a workout. After a quick disclaimer we headed out from our parking lot.

The Thang

We moseyed from our lot to the front of the high school. We circled up for a quick warmup since we had a lot of ground to cover:

* SSH x 15 IC

* IWs x 15 IC

Mosey to the stop light and wait for everyone to cross Cuthbertson and try not to get hit.

* John Wayne Burpee Mile: Waynewood is about 1 mile to the end and there are 19 light poles along the way. 5 burpees at each light pole with 10 at the last one at the end for an even 1 mile and 100 burpees. Circle back for the six and then plank until everyone finishes.

Mosey back up Waynewood, left on Dobson, stop at the entrance to Chisholm with 5 squats at every light pole along the way. Circle back for the six.

* Run down to the bottom of Chisholm, 10 North Carolina Dry Docks and then back up the hill to the top for 10 Monkey Humpers. Rinse and repeat x3.

Mosey up Dobson to the clubhouse.

* 10 Mike Tyson’s and then run up Dobson to the entrance on Cuthbertson for 10 Monkey Humpers. Rinse and repeat x3 but due to time had to do the third set of Monkey Humpers on the way back at the corner or Dobson and Waynewood.

Time was getting close so quick mosey back to the stop light at Waynewood and Cuthbertson. Circle back for the six.

Cross Cuthbertson and very quick mosey back to the start with a lap around the parking lot to round up the six.

Perfect timing as Flash was just coming in.

YHC came on the the F3 scene in October of 2015 at Rebel Yell. A year later and running BRR on an injured calf left me with a torn calf muscle and unable to do anything for a while. That turned into an injury proned 2017 and 2018 filled with painful hips that resulted in two separate hip surgeries (first the left, then the right).

Getting back into F3 has been a Godsend. The FIRST day YHC posted I was welcomed back as if I had never left. When I walked back in the house my wife could tell from the look in my eye that the fog was lifting and said, “he’s back” when I walked in the door and looked at her. Thank you pax.

Today’s goal was to try and get everyone over the five mile mark while completing my least favorite exercises, Burpees and Mike Tyson’s. We got 100 burpees in and 30 Mike Tyson’s along with 60 Monkey Humpers and some other exercises.

Hollywood and Wolverine were killing it as usual and easily got over 6 miles with all their circling back. Wolverine’s little red light on the back of his shirt kept getting smaller and smaller as the hour progressed.

The rest of the PAX stuck together pretty well and got in at least 5.25 miles.

Champion Forest is pretty dead in the morning so a great location except at the end of Chisholm we happened to have the one guy who leaves early in the morning back out of his driveway and then come back a few minutes after he left because he probably forgot something (or maybe he just liked the way Bottle Cap looked in his little yellow vest). Other than that it was a perfect morning and the conditions were great.

Thanks for the brotherhood and the opportunity to lead.
