Betting the horses at the Base Camp track

Betting the horses at the Base Camp track

While most of the city slept 16 of South Charlotte’s finest gathered in SCMS Parking lot for this weeks installment of #F3BaseCamp.  The plan was to partner with someone of different speed and push hard for all 45.

This is how things went down.

Warm up lap around the track (Reg, High Knees, Buttkickers).

COP

Imperial Walkers x 15 IC

Mountain Climbers x 15 IC

Low Slow Squats x 15 IC (Some chatter from Big Top and Geraldo, but couldn’t hear the heckling).

10 Burpees OYO

Mosey down to the track for Horse training

• Warm up lap (Flutter til everyone finishes)
• Divide into Clydesdales (aka Power players) and (relative) thoroughbreds Okay, this is Basecamp, not Fast Twitch…Maybe we should go with slightly faster horses
• Clydesdales run clockwise, thoroughbreds slightly faster horses run counterclockwise
• Push your pace until you hit your partner
• When you find your partner do called partner exercise and then return the way you came (Varying speeds equals varying distances but keeps everyone together.
• Round 1: 10 hand slap merkins, run back, Flutter until everyone returns.
• Round 2: 10 Partner Derkins, run back,Freddy Mercury until everyone returns.
• Round 3: 10 Hand Slap Merkins, run back, Dolly until everyone returns.

Mosey around the campus, one partner stop at top of steps to grab a lifting rock and then head to the fields for rock circuits:

• Round 1: Clydesdales Run up path, up stairs, around loop and back, while thoroughbreds slightly faster horses do 10 Curls, 10 Tea bag squats with rock and repeato until partner returns and then flip flop.
• Round 2: Clydesdales run around bases while thoroughbreds slightly faster horses do AMRAP curls with rock. flip flop.
• Round 3: Clydesdales run around bases while thoroughbreds slightly faster horses do AMRAP Squats with rock. flip flop.

Skin of the Mole (That really should be checked by a dermatologist):

• 2.2 miles, that is 2+ miles three weeks in a row at Base Camp.  Good work men.
• Lots of new faces at Basecamp and everybody is getting stronger.
  • Staypuff has some wheels and is interested in BRR, thanks for pushing me around the bases, tell Tang while he was fartsacking you were getting faster.
  • Sparkle City was here for his 4th post just a week after his first!  One week has already made a difference, good work, keep coming out!
  • Gunny is in week 4 (past the hump), one day he will get the weekly email
• Marvel decided not to pee in the bushes this week, way to go!
• Fireman Ed chose a man sized rock, made mine look wimpy and he was still crushing it while I was fading in round 3.
• Heartbreaker isn’t just a faster horse, that guy is a thoroughbred, thanks for pushing it out there brother.
• Big Tuna coming up on his one year anniversary and this guy is a new man.  He is seriously sneaky fast, which he showed when he passed Fireman Ed and good gamed him as he passed just to rub it in.
• Good to have Big Top back in the mix, not the same without you brother!
• Extra Credit goes to Good hands (Solo Pre-run…maybe I will join you next week), and Geraldo who is one with his Ruck (If I wore that I might fall over).
