The Zoo and Jack Webb
21 posted for YHC’s Q at Centurion. Nothing like a tweet letting everyone know I was feeling a little lazy and it might be an easy day to bring out the crowd. Sadly for all including YHC, it was not to be as I woke up refreshed and ready to go. Blame it on Chelms who poked the bear last night as always.
The Thang:
- COP for 30x SSH, 30x selection standard merkins, 30x mountain climbers, 10x 8 count body builders
- Run to the “Zoo” to meet the animals
- Bear crawl up the hill, 5x 8 count body builders, run back, LBC’s till the six
- Duck walk up the hill, 10x burpees, run back, LBC’s till the six
- Crab walk up the hill, 20x merkins, run back, LBC’s till the six
- Frog jump up the hill, 30x sumo jump squats, run back, LBC’s till the six
- Human backwards run, recover
- Run to the Panera parking lot for a ladder circuit on the stairs
- Start with exercise, followed by a stair loop.
- 5x 8-count body builders,
- 10x Burpees
- 20x Merkins
- 30x Sumo jump squat
- 20x Merkins
- 10x Burpees
- 5x 8-count body builders
- LBC’s and Flutter till the six finished
- 2x 100 yd AYG
- To the school for bench circuit
- 15x Jump-ups
- 20x Dips
- 15x Derkins
- repeat
- Then the crowd pleaser – Jack Webbs (1 merkin followed by 4 air presses, increasing each as you go) Due to the bear poking by Chelms we had to go to 13 merkins so we could get to YHC’s age in air presses – I think that is 91 Merkins and 365 air presses
- COT
That was painful. Not much mumblechatter this morning.
Shout out to Mermaid, Pebbles, and Chelms who were out front on the circuit.
Saranac posted for the second time and was so excited he texted YHC at 5am – “where is everyone”?
Sumo jump squats after an uphill duck walk hurt just as bad as the last time YHC called this. I forgot that I promised myself to make it 25 next time…
Hops was GoRuck ready in his camo BDUs this am.
Jack Webb is a very sneaky guy. He seems so benign in the beginning. Lots of modifications by the pax as we counted up to 13×53 on that one. We will likely think of Jack when washing our hair in the shower tomorrow.
Announcements:
Brain Cancer Race on March 21 – Marshall Park
Mud Run – April 11

Strong Q Checkpoint, thanks. Was really happy to see you pull into the lot today. Chelms was making a move toward his truck for those pavers the closer it got to 5:30. Welcome to Patches, site FNG. First boot camp workout as he has posted the Brave a few times. Great job. Good to see Pebbles back for another installment of Centurion. Crushed it again. Welcome to Saranac. Glad to have you and keep on coming back. Bring some friends who like hard work and good fellowship in the early AM.
Thanks to Hops for always having a finger on the pulse of the PAX. #leader
Leads like today are what make Centurion one of the best/toughest workouts in F3Nation. The Q humbly left his name out as one of the leaders in the circuit work but he crossed the finish line almost dead even with Mermaid and Pebbles.
Pavers were not in the truck but Mermaid’s comment got me to thinking that I should stash some away in the bushes for future emergencies.
Is there any point to Jack Webb other than buildling mental toughness (#ISI)?
Mercy. That was painful Checkpoint. Still firmly in the NoRuck camp despite the camo pants….no idea what BDUs are? Was pretty much dead last getting through all the animal exhibits at the zoo…except for the recover run! Love-Hate the natatorium hill so much.
Jack Webb was certainly disabling the pax in a myriad of ways…was actually kind of funny as I peered out from my pain cave.
Saranac was in such a hurry to get out of the fartsack and post that he arrived 30 minutes early yet without gloves…#extrapain
Thanks guys that was … not sure what word to insert here. Chelms, I am glad you noticed I left my name out. It shows that I was actually paying attention at 3rd F this morning. Galatians 5:26. Hops – BDU = Battle Dress Uniform. Saranac, rookie in more ways that one. I have three pair of extra gloves in my trunk. Patches, welcome. Pebbles keep bringing it. Jack Webb – I love that guy. quietly brings everyone to their knees literally and figuratively. Thanks Runstopper.
Jack Webb is always a silent assassin, but what killed me today was running after the natatorium hill.
Or the big bowl of ice cream last night….Either way, I now have to alter my Q at Commitment tomorrow to leave out the following body parts: Shoulders, Pecs, Quads, Lungs, and Glutes.
Should be interesting –
PS: Does anybody else think that 13 Merkins should be followed by FIFTY TWO Air Presses?
