The Thang:

Mosey over to Quail Plaza shopping center for COP.

15 SSH IC

15 IW IC

15 Windmill IC

Run to second level, down the other staircase, and 10 burpees. Repeat.

YHC then lead the 8 willing PAX back to the parking garage. We started up the steps, completing 5 merkins at each flat, running to the next stairwell, and back down, completing 5 diamond merkins on flats.

Pebbles always gets excited when someone mentions pull-ups, and since he made the long commute YHC couldn’t disappoint. We moseyed on over the the pull-up bars by the greenway entrance. 4 sets of pull-ups to form failure, super-set with dry docks. Finish up with 25 heels to heaven.

Mosey over to the hill behind Amalie’s. On the 6 for some Mary, no recover, starting with 10 dolly moving straight into 10 rosalita, 10 flutter, 10 box cutters, and finishing with 10 reverse box cutters. Partner up, 3 times up the hill while partner does burpees. Mosey around to front of buildings, outside of flipin’ chicken for box jumps and dips. 5 box jumps each set, and 10,15, 20, 25 dips. High-five purple haze in PF parking lot, and return to parking garage. Jog up the ramps, and sprint the flats. 20 LBCs at the top, and 10 pebbles form derkins. Continue down stairs and back to launch point.

There was plenty of time left (by design) for some hairburners! YHC absolutely loves the pain, so partners completed 3 sets. To finish out the morning, 10 burpees, leg raises, and two prone sprints brought the PAX to COT.

Naked Moleskin:

Today was bigger for YHC than just leading a PAX of Charlotte’s finest in a “harder than average” workout. 2 years ago yesterday YHC was in a car accident that should have taken my life. Gastrointestinal surgery was eventually needed, the point where the realization that life had changed set in. It surely did. A few months later, sitting by the pool with a glowing incision on my growing belly, 3 men informed me of this thing called F3. This is the ACTUAL point that my life changed.

Like a wounded animal, the PAX helped me regain the strength I lost, not just physically, but emotionally and faithfully. I’m stronger, faster, healthier, and smarter than I ever have been, and this group of men is responsible for a major portion of my success.

Enough of the sentimental stuff. Tolkien once again bailed on a beatdown by YHC, flying all the way to NYC just to avoid the embarrassment. The PAX was also able to catch Purple Haze in the act with his pants down, with his side thang Planet Fitness.

Thank you all for the opportunity. Outback takes over Black Diamond.
