Parking lots, Partners & Pain

VSF planted. 25 pax assembled. One minute warning was given, and then without further ado – we headed out about 30 seconds later.

The Thang:

Pax ran over to CAC, one lap around church, circle up.

Find a partner and run to the church drive-thru wall.

Partner 1 in people’s chair, Partner 2 does 10 derkins w/feet on partners knees.

2 runs lap while 1 stays in chair. Flapjack. Rinse & Repeat.

Partner merkins to 10. Partner 1 does 1 merkin, then partner 2 does 1 merkin. 1 does 2 merkins, 2 does 2 merkins, 1 does 3 merkins, 2 does 3 merkins, etc, etc up to 10 merkins. Yes it was painful.

Partner 1 flutter kicks while Partner 2 runs length of lot and back. Flapjack.

Partner 1 Freddie Mercury while Partner 2 runs length of lot & back. Flapjack.

Partner 1 plank while Partner 2 does 10 derkins w/feet on 1’s back. Flapjack. Rinse & Repeat.

Prairie Fire Mary x 30 (10 center, 10 left, 10 right). Flapjack.

Lots of plankorama in between exercises…no rest for the shoulders.

COT

Ye Olde Moleskine:

Great effort by the pax at DMZ…no surprise there. Special recognition to Love Boat & Brisket for getting after it. There were others but YHC was too smoked to take full notice.

Also – T-claps to my partner Mr. Drummond who looks to be much more than 1 month into F3. Nice work brother.

YHC forgot the disclaimer at the start (no FNGs thankfully). However, Bushwood busting his #^$ on the first lap reminded me as did one of the pax, thus, the pax was disclaimed. YHC’s favorite F3 attorney – Young Love – was among the pax so nothing to worry about!

Great to post with some unfamiliar faces yet well-named pax: Rapunzel, Mr. Drummond & Chappy. There’s no end to the creative monikers bestowed across F3Nation.

I ended up as Q for this morning after texting Skywalker yesterday afternoon: “Who’s on Q at DMZ?”..to which he replied: “How about you?” The 17-hour notice was ample time for me to come up with a painful recipe. Hope I didn’t disappoint the pax’s appetite. Of course, YHC doesn’t always follow a scripted recipe; often the ingredients for pain stew are just kind of thrown in. Until next time gents…..keep up the hard work.

Thanks to Snowflake for a great prayer to close COT.
