8 PAX endured a ruthless beatdown in the Gloom at The Rock…. ok… it was actually a gorgeous morning…. and not quite a beatdown… but there were 8 of us, I know that for sure! We gave everyone until 6:59:59, then off we went!
We started with a warm-up lap which measured at just .4 miles. This is important as it became our repeat-o lap.
Circle up for PAIN:
SSH x 20
IW x 20
Hammy/Calf stretching x 30
Mountain Climbers x 20
Low Slow Squats x 20
Time for 30-40-50 Bingo… a game of skill and strategy in which EVERYONE’S a WINNER!!
2 bags containing strips of paper
1 – Exercises we know and love
1 – 30, 40, or 50… indicating the number of reps
Each round we drew 1 from each bag, did the exercise for the rep, then ran the .4 mile loop. Here is the “APPROXIMATE” order and reps:
1. Calf Raises x 30; lap
2. Bear Crawl x 50 (yds); lap
3. CDD x 30; lap
4. FLutter x 40; lap
5. Burpee x 40; lap
6. Man Maker Merkin x 30; lap
7. Dolly x 50; lap
In between #6-7, we stopped at the concession stand for Dips and Step-Ups (each leg) – 10/15/20
On final lap after #7, we stopped at the concession stand for some people’s chair – 2 x 90 seconds with 60 air presses.
Finished with 40 LBC – done! Total 3.5 miles covered.
Moleskine:
Always an honor to lead at any of the workouts! The Rock is always special to me because it was my second post ever, and where I had my first taste of Runstopper… everyone remembers their first taste of Runstopper!!
It was a slightly smaller crowd, but intimate. I enjoyed catching-up with some fellas I haven’t seen in a while, plus talk with Hammer and M (who is now renamed to Shock and Awe…. more on that); only to find out that I go to church with Hammer and should have known that! I will now!!
TR made executive move to rename M, who served his Country during 2nd Iraq Invasion — Operation Enduring Freedom. In honor of strong service, a strong F3 name is deserved… Shock and Awe!
There were a number of IR’s, including YHC rehabbing a groin, Runstopper rehabbing a knee, Tiger Rag is rehabbing a calf, Deep Dish is Prodigal Son… so hopefully my gimpness didn’t hold anyone back!
Always great to workout with Blades of Glory, and I finally got to workout with Flipper… great 2nd F all the way around!
We did have to endure Runstopper and Tiger Rag creating an unsafe environment involving splashing each other along with innocents! #somethingsneverchange!
Announcements:
1. F3 Golf 4/30 – Day Zero has called out The Rock in sponsoring a hole… we need to consider sponsoring.
Tiger Rag took us out with send-off prayer. Thanks, brother!
