The Rabbit

The Rabbit

It was a nice morning with lower humidity and temps compared to the last few days.  Eight men decided to come out and experience Beaker’s virgin Q.  The topic of conversation all morning was about a rabbit that was found when three of the #F3DayZero faithful found upon their secret, prerun.

There was no disclaimer given because you already know what you are getting into when you enter the jungle.

Beaker has the first half of the Q and he started out like a veteran.

COP

Second half Frasier

Directions were given to find a partner with the opposite end of the spectrum in speed and pick a running rock.  We headed back over to the Yellow Rose parking lot for some four corners.  Since the BRR is less than three weeks away and all but one in our midst are doing the BRR we kept with the theme of running.

You and your partner runs to the end of each intersection in counter clockwise fashion.  Once the first partner gets to the intersection they turn around and collect their partner until you reach the intersection again.  The faster partner runs with the rock.  At each intersection you do ten of the called exercises.  First corner was ten hand released merkins, second corner ten 180 jump squats, 10 toe tap crunches, finish up with ten hand release merkins.

Rinse and repeat but this time no partners and no rocks.  AYG to each corner and then turn around and collect the six.  Same exercises as before.

Go back to collect the rocks and return to the basketball court for some partner work.  You and your partner does fifty pull ups, 100 merkins and 200 LBCs with the rock.

Throw your rock back and end with three Mary exercises to ten.  Flutter, Freddie Mercury and American Hammer.

Done!  Although some ended sooner than when time was called.

Moleskin:

Thumper was the theme of the morning and there was much discussion about how it might be doing, what should have been done and  if we should go back.  Semi Gloss took the lead on the prerun and made the decision to save the critter.  Radar believes in survival of the fitness and had no interest in helping.  Hairball was too focused on his softball game to probably pay attention to either what Radar or Semi Gloss were saying on their prerun.

Radar was in his normal supportive mood.  #Uplifter, #BeaconofLight.  He brings the balance to the dynamics.

Semi Gloss continues to look more and more like a runner.  I appreciated the offer from SG to rub out a cramp in his glute on the second half of the run.

Dear Abby is always strong, it helps to be in your twenties, and rips through every exercise.

The Swede pushes every week and it is easy to see how going to #F3FastTwitch and #F3DayZero has helped with his stamina.  Keep it coming.  BRR ready next year.

Strawberry despite acting like he hates running was consistently out front trying to chase down Dear Abby in the partner exercises.  For a man that does not like to run you do it well.

Hairball like a true site Q noticed Radar’s sandbag attempt and did not fall into the trap.  You can tell that the new site Qs do not even remember or pay attention to their elders.  #AllGrownUp.

Beaker brought it on his first Q.  A nice mix of running and hard exercises.  He was able to keep his cadence despite a lot of mumble chatter about thumper during COT.  Nice work and now you are in the rotation.

A couple of shout outs from the over fifty/sixty crowd of women this morning.  Not sure how to take that but I know it makes my wife jealous when I tell her about some lionesses on the prowl.  We really needed Haze so he could be getting digits.

Announcements:

Sign up for the mudrun and let Mermaid know when you do.

Run in the morning at 6:30 at the Arbo for a few BRR teams.  Come on out.

Appreciate the opportunity to lead and fun banter.  Nothing more guys than making fun of each other and passing gas as an old woman walks by (Radar).

There will probably be a prerun next Saturday morning but you probably won’t be invited.

Out!
