As the pax rolled in for the 0700 start of Ascent, many were questioning whether they’d stumbled upon #F3Meathead or #F3Olympus after eyeing the 3 swole dudes already there and the assortment of kettlebells scattered around. Not to worry, guys, just a little pre-KB work going on. (Tempted to say “nothing to see here”, but there actually was.) When the dust settled and the toys were put away, 10 pax had assembled on the wondrous grounds of Olde Providence, eager to make their downPAINment on the weekend. Full disclosure: no change was provided.
The Thang:

Slow mosey (2nd F pace) to Harris Teeter, with random stops along the way for called exercises:

What a great group out today. Lots of 2nd F chatter. #Kotters to Relo, attempting to return from an injury. Good to see you, brother. Couple of other pax with tweaks too, trying to stay engaged as they work to return to form – glad to have you at Ascent!
Stumphugger and Byron joined YHC for pre-KB at 0630. Thanks gents! We got a brief pump, and YHC used them to dry run parts of the Weinke for F3Meathead this week. (pre-blast: bring a small bell, in addition to your usual gigantor) Added bonus was the looks and chatter we generated by the arriving pax who thought they had mis-posted to Olympus!
Stumphugger got some grumbles and a near refusnik from some of the pax on the call for a mosey to Harris Teeter, “this isn’t Hydra; that’s why I stopped posting to Hydra”. Mutiny avoided, it was a good trip off campus and offset the minimal running planned by YHC.
Some good mumblechatter on the call from Stumphugger for Byron to buy some Tic Tacs on our trip to Harris Teeter. Does someone’s breath stink? Smells other than breath for the six. Should we have all brought our shopping lists? The M wanted me to pickup a gallon of milk while I’m out… We found out, the Tic Tacs served as the baton for the Indian Run on the way back. Plus, Tic Tacs were on Stumphugger’s shopping list…
Several of the pax seemed to like the strength portion of the workout with MM (minimal moseying), so YHC took the opportunity to promote F3Meathead. #0.0 Looking forward to seeing you guys on Thursday!
Thanks for the opportunity to lead today. Thanks for the co-Q, Stumphugger. For the rest of the pax, let me know when you’d like to lead all or 1/2 of a workout. It’s fun, you pick the exercises you like(!), and you’re more ready than you probably think you are.
Have a great weekend!
Aye!
High Tide
