Polish or Turkish Get-Ups?

YHC pulled into an empty parking lot 10 minutes before launch.  BOG was the next to arrive followed by the rest of the PAX.  There were 4 over achieving PAX who ran to the site (Mermaid, Dory, Sacagawea & the late arriving Scabby).  YHC got a little “trigger happy” and the PAX departed before Scabby arrived.  No worries as Scabby appeared during COP.

Moleskin:

Strong group of men today at #F3Centurion. YHC tried to fake out the PAX by running past Palatine Hill.  There was some chatter when “Polish” Get-ups were announced.  YHC did not realize they are actually called Turkish Get-ups.  The PAX avoided all fire ants and the heavy rain which is was a plus. Sending our best out to Rip Curl who pulled a muscle during the work out.

Announcements:

Remember that there is more to F3 than just the 1st F.  Explore opportunities to participate in 2nd and 3rd F groups.

Volunteer Opportunity – Brookstone School is looking for volunteers to tutor, read and spend time with its students.  Hannibal has details if interested.

Great job Margo. You made it look easy. Now the workout…anything but easy. The Palatine fake was a nice touch. The “Polish” get-up call was entertaining. Completing them after sprinting up the “tall” side of Palatine…not entertaining. I look forward to your next Q. Sort of.

Polish get ups are much harder than the Turkish variety (think it had to do with running up Palentine before doing them). It was good to have Dory and Sacagawea pushing the PAX on the circuit and suicides while Pebbles sounded like a full back running up the middle he was hitting the pavement so hard. The short circuit around Palentine is comparable to the longer circuit last week that PH had us run as distance is shorter but we had less recovery time in between hill climbs.

Dear Abbey has the Q next week – he mentioned something about mud run training (no idea why).
