Can’t Spell TUCK without “UC”

Can’t Spell TUCK without “UC”

24 men gathered in perfect conditions at #F3Dromedary for ~2.5 mi, 80 burpees and other festivities during YHC’s first Q in the UC.  Blood and sweat were left behind, but no tears.

Thang

Dynamic stretching through parking lot (high knees, butt kickers, karaoke).

Circle up at far end of parking lot for COP:

• SSH x 20 IC
• Merkins x 23 IC (each PAX leads 1 rep)
• Squats x 23 IC (each PAX leads 1 rep)
• Mountain Climbers x 23 IC (each PAX leads 1 rep)

Follow perimeter road behind high school and partner up.  Partner 1 runs backwards clockwise around “globe” traffic circle, Partner 2 runs backwards clockwise around small utility building between the schools.  Meet in the middle for 10 partner-slap merkins.  Flap jack.  Repeat.  Mary while waiting for the six.

Mosey back to center of main parking lot for Starfish Burps: a standard 4-armed starfish, with all the burpees.  10 burpees in each corner (rotate between one-legged left, one-legged right, backwards and 8-count) and 10 regular burpees each time at the center.  80 total burpees.  Mary while waiting for the six.

Mosey close to launch for Webbicide: a standard suicide, but instead of touching each line the pax does an increasing number of merkins at each line. Run to the first tree in the center median, do one merkin, run back to start, run to next tree, do two merkins, and so on until you get to 9.  Mary while waiting for the six.

Since moving from the Blakeney area to Waxhaw in December, YHC has been looking forward to his 1st Q in the UC.  It was a tough one today.  The backwards running took a toll on the legs and the all-burpee Starfish was a gasser.  Thanks to Hollywood and Fire Hazard for the push.  And thanks to Transporter for finishing everything early and leading Mary.

T-claps to Bratwurst, Doc McStuffins, Hollywood, Soft Pretzel, Bunker, Family Ties and Fire Hazard for joining YHC on the 3 mi pre-run and 1 mi post-run from/to The Chimneys.  Abacus joined in for a bit as well.  That is something we can definitely keep going if there is interest.  We can also have shorter pre-runs for those that don’t want as many miles.  Hoping that some of the newer Chimneys PAX join in.  There’s no reason we should be driving in from a mile away!  If you wait until you think you’re “ready” it will never happen.  Give it a try.  You’ll be surprised by how quickly your body adjusts. But wear a headlamp 🙂  Side note: YHC has found that the best strategy when it comes to all things F3 is to consistently say “yes” and allow yourself to be pulled out of your comfort zone.  If you do this, you will be amazed at where this journey will take you.

Thank you to Bratwurst and Enron for the opportunity to lead.
