Bringing the Bee Back to Base Camp

24 men and a Frisbee posted at Basecamp.
We did this stuff:
Half lap and then COP on the football field.
  • SSH
  • LSS
  • IW
Partner up for partner laps
Partners run opposite directions when they meet do called exercise and then head back the way you came.
  • Lap 1: 10 Half slap merkins
  • Lap 2: 20 squats each (stare into your partners eyes #MakeItAwkward)
  • Lap 3: 30 Rosalitas each
  • Lap 4: 20 squats
  • Lap 5: 10 HS Merkins
10 Burpees OYO
Up to the parking lot
Bee time
Partner 1: tosses the bee
Partner 2: calls the exercise (unless you are Hannibal)
After the throw run to frisbee and do called exercise. 20 if thrower made it past the line, 30 if they did not.
We did the following exercises
  • Merkins
  • LBC’s
  • Flutter
  • Freddy
  • CDD
  • Dolly
  • Partner Derkins
  • …And pretty much every other exercise in the lexicon
  • Finished with TR hitting Gooney’s car which resulted in 40 Spartan Burpees or as many as you can finish before time runs out
Moleskine:
  • Adobe played Insomniacs role and appeared part way thru the workout #ISeeYou
  • TR was kind enough to point out my perfect form #YouGetMe
  • Fire Marshall Bill was back again and confirmed he now knows the origin of his name.
  • Firewall just started his second week of F3, and this was his 6th post.  Wow, He said basecamp was by far the best of them all.  #WayToEaseIn #KeepPounding
  • I clearly overestimated the Frisbee skills of this mornings BC crew when i drew the line.  Only one man threw the bee past the line, most opted for the throw it high and to the very wide right approach which just didn’t get it done #Turible
    • Maybe it was because I overestimated the average arm strength, but I think it was because…
    • Once I declared the frisbee instructions Triple 7 went and moved his Beamer.  BUT He didn’t drive it further away, he parked it right in the middle of the target area and then declared that anyone who hit his “precious baby” would get a beatdown they would not soon forget.  No one tested to see whether the large man with the shaved head was serious or not #DontMessWithTheMarshall #ThisDidNotHappen
  • A few men stayed late to work on their bee hucking skills.  After the bee sesh one told the others it doesn’t get easier but you do get stronger #Truth #DRP
  • We hit 2.6 miles and sustained a respectable amount of chatter this morning. Well done BC crew.
Announcements:
  • Red light and blue this Saturday, War Stories and Free beer Friday night at Sugar Creek Brewery.  Pay for the stories from vets ($10) and get your beer free.
  • Steinbrenner found a mustache in the parking lot.
  • Fireman Ed has been honorably retired as a Site Q at BC, We decided to promote from within and we think that Gooney will do an excellent job in middle management #IDriveADodgeStratus

Verse of the Day (texted by Hannibal post workout): 

“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.”   -Philippians 3:12

Whipping the bee around has made me hungry for more. Anybody know of anywhere to play a little ultimate? Or want to put a pick-up game together?
