It was easy to stick together

It was easy to stick together

It was cold, windy and I knew it was only a short time before the rain came back.  Patent Pending sent a note yesterday and said to consider using the parking garage across the street from Stonecrest.  I checked out the potential site for our workout.  Yes, an option, but not for what I had planned, so the commitment was made to stick with the original details and deal with the elements.  A few moments later a car pulled up.  Was solo until that time (5:28ish) and thinking my highly motivational post for being the Q was far from motivational. I will be posting sunshine and rainbows next time when mentioning the weather or free beer.  Out of the car popped Rousey.  Now for the record, Rousey said he normally posts elsewhere on Wednesday’s, but chose The Maul for this Wednesday.  And boy was I happy.  Because had he not shown, the workout still needed to get done.  I am not getting up at 4:40am, dressed to workout and just drive to the site……so with the two of us ready to go, we started promptly at 5:30am.  After a few disclaimers we took off.  Took a light jog toward Firebirds and then over by Jersey Mike’s for warm up.

15 Potato Pickers

15 Lo Slo Squats

Enough warm up, we need to get moving.

Ran to the front to the front of the movie theatre and the full work out began

• Broad Jump, 10 Air Squats, Broad Jump, 9 Air Squats……down to 1 Air Squat
• 25 Merkins
• Then return counting up. Broad Jump, 1 Air Squat, Broad Jump 2 Air Squats…..
• 25 Merkins

It was time to hit the Horn, Murder Horn that is.  Rain was starting, but still not enough to deter us.  Ran to the rock pile at the bottom.  Grab a rock.

• 20 Curls, 20 press, 20 tri-ceps
• Shoulders needed more work, so 4 sets, 25 reps of presses

Time to run, the Horn

• Run up to the top of the Horn, then on the way back down 10 Merkins (alternate style) and 10 Plank Jacks at each lamp post. Solid running pace. Keep moving as the rain was picking up

Back to the rock pile

• 4 sets of 25 curls. Make ‘em count

Run back to launch area, but not done.  Tried to find a dry part of the wall, but no luck, until we turned the corner and saw a little covered spot.

• Wall sits, with 25 air presses. 4 sets
• 20 more Merkins to get to 100
• Closed out with LBC’s

Completed COT in the dry covered area.

Moleskin

Got to learn more about Rousey and his experience with F3 and other tidbits.  Less than a year and says he really enjoys it.  Also has a 12-year-old child.  He talked about family and the importance of being there for each other.  Rousey has another Q coming up and we spent a good bit of time talking about how to keep them fresh and shared different ideas.

Yes, the weather was awful today, but was still a great morning to be the Q at the Maul (thank you Patent Pending) and lead another F3 workout.

It does not matter how many you are leading.  1 or 50.  We must be the best leader we can be, because there is always at least 1 person that is expecting us to lead.  This does not just apply to Qing at F3………..

I took us out.
