This is Bull$#!t

Hairball reached out to YHC in the spring about coming up to Charlotte one weekend and doing a celebrity Q.  YHC jumped on the opportunity as a chance to see some old friends as YHC has missed the camaraderie of Area 51.  After flying back from Texas at 1 am, YHC was on the road to Charlotte 4 hours later.

YHC met some new faces and great to see Strawberry, Horsehead (virgin post at Day Zero), Alf, and Prohibition.  Alf asked if we were going to get dirty and then remembered i hated getting my shoes dirty so he opted for his clean sneaks.  Then it was 7 am and we were off.

had some area 51 pax rib me about my F3Lake Murray logo. just wait. don’t poke the bear.

-15 little arm circles….this was met with jeers about how day zero is supposed to be hard.  (ok fine…we can skip the warm up and embrace the suck)

The THANG

introduced Day Zero to the bull, a simple but painful workout from the columbia area.  We utilized the four corners of the block encompassing the yellow rose.

Lap 1

Corner 1 – 10 burpees

Corner 2 – 20 merkins

Corner 3 – 30 lunges alternating legs

Corner 4 – 40 plank jacks

Lap 2 Add 5 reps at each corner.

We got in 5 laps and 3.5 miles in 40 minutes.

The pax were feeling the planned workout to this point was too monotonous.  Therefore, we picked up some 45 and 35 lb plates we found in the grass and went to 3 man grinders.

partner 1 mtn climbers

partner 2 hairburners

partner 3 squats

This little 10 minute routine was a crowd favorite.

-F3 dads starting up soon and some other announcements.  ask your site Q’s.

The Moleskine.

YHC enjoyed being back and getting to mix it up with some old friends.  great memories from this AO.  The former site Q’s (nowwhere to be found) helped take YHC in when first connecting with F3. Some of the harder workouts in F3 were deliverd at day zero.  hopefully all got their money’s worth here.

when describing the bull.  YHC thinks it was McGee that said, “Bull$&!T is more liking it.”  but then YHC remembers seeing McGee after the hairburners beat and exhausted and commenting on how hard it was.

I love that when spackler refusniks on burpees he just hangs out and watches instead of at least replacing them with crunches or something.  Shameless.  Love it.

Alf is still a beast.  YHC tried to keep pace with he and McGee, but pretty sure Alf can do 3 burpess in same time it takes YHC to do 1.

thankful to see old friends like Strawberry and Horsehead there.  Iron sharpens iron.  These two dudes are part of my spiritual sharpening.  Had some great times with both dialoguing over the Lord.  YHC was personally and spiritually encouraged by both posting.

On the otherhand, Semi-gloss texted me notifying me he would not make it, gave an excuse about some board meeting on a satruday am.  Spackler informed me it was more due to consumption on Friday evenings.

great group of guys out there.  Dear Abbey was holding a strong pace as was Red Rocks.

Cheers gents and looking forward to BRR with flatnin the hills and other Area51 teams.

now can i get a volunteer to come to SC one saturday and guest Q at Havoc with me?
