Yodeling at Ascent
The Thang:
COP
15 each: SSH, slow merkins, IW, slow squat
Mosey to field sideline for 11s – merkins near side, squats far side
Circle up and on your 6 for Ring around the Mary – pax calls Mary and bear crawls or lunge walks around circle until back to his spot while rest of pax does exercise OYO count (except Scissorhands calling protractor; well played, brother).
Mosey “anti-clockwise” (as Bulldog would say) around school to playground.
Ladder mini-Murph: 1 pull-up, 2 merkins, 3 squats, 2/4/6, 3/6/9, 4/8/12, 5/10/15, and back down
Indian run: Rea, Summerlin, Abbotswood, Windyrush, Foxworth, OP. Pax-called exercise at each street sign. Burpies, Merkins, Peter Parker, 6 (or 8) count Manmaker, and several others YHC can’t recall
Circle up on field for some Jack Webb (up to 7 and back down)
Two minutes left: Rosalita IC
One minute left: LBC OYO
Time!
Mosey back to parking for COT. Great sendoff by Monkey Joe.
Moleskin:
T-claps to Pele for pushing through the pain of an injured foot. Heard some mumble chatter about Runstopper with Jack Webb, but not much else . . . well, except when Scissorhands called for burpies at first traffic sign along the indian run. So much for my unspoken goal of a burpie-free workout. We made sure he was not in the lead position at any of the rest of our stops. Nice Q-jack in the last 2 minutes by Geraldo: declined to provide Q-requested 10 count, and instead called for more Mary.
T-claps to High Tide for helping me both before and during workout. (Beginner mistake/senior moment: I forgot to put on my watch and realized it too far from the house to swing a U-ee and still get to OP on time. HT was timekeeper. Any complaints about too long/short need to be directed to him.)
This was my first Q, only one year and one week after joining F3 Nation (#laggard). Definitely an honor and a challenge. I hope the intensity was sufficient to push, but moderate enough not to discourage.
Announcements:
New moderate-intensity workout at Matthews Elementary launching Thursday, May 1. Geraldo and Slimfast are site Qs. Look for details in upcoming pre-blast.
If you haven’t, sign up for F3 Golf. (#beatadeadhorse)

T-claps to Swiss Miss on his virgin Q. Long overdue! Hadn’t realized he’d passed his 1 yr with F3 until reading his backblast. Dude is strong and disciplined and is a great addition to the Q rotation at Ascent (or any of the other AO’s – so, hit him up!). Unofficially, he had Q’ed a workout for he and YHC on a trip to SF about 6 months ago, so I knew he was ready – just needed to get him on the calendar.
The title and pic for the BB were from Swiss Miss’s twitter preblast about yodeling being optional. Not sure I heard any yodeling, unless you count the mumble chatter or the near mutiny when Scissorhands called for burpees on the indian run.
