4 Years, 16 PAX (2 FNG’s) and a 6 pack of suds

4 Years, 16 PAX (2 FNG’s) and a 6 pack of suds

Let’s start with the fact that today was the 4 – year celebration of Da Vinci, but not sure any of the PAX from today were at the first one, but that does not matter.  The birthday beatdown was going to happen with FNG’s and veterans alike.  In advance of the celebration, Midriff communicated it was going to be leg day.  The YHC hope is hoping everyone is limping around feeling HAZY, except for the 2 FNG’s and one 2.0.  They are not legal.  They can’t feel HAZY.

16 PAX started and finished.  Leg day started with a short mosey to the side of Best Buy.  I am sure the 40 somethings (myself included) were thinking about the high school days when we were only concerned with the ladies and having a kick ass stereo in our parent’s car we were driving, installed by Best Buy or some local shop.  Today, the cars come with those stereos we spent all that money on.  Anyway, I digress, time to get back on track.

4 years for Da Vinci, 4 stations to beat the PAX down.

Warmup- Station 1 (Soft Pretzel said counting skills improving 😊)

15 SSH

20 Merkins

15 Dry Docks

15 V ups

15 Flutters

10 Burpees (Any Q by me will include some burpees)

Exercise – Station 2 we than ran over to 131 Main (no steak dinners yet) and started leg day.

YHC instructed the PAX, start with 25 jump squats (do them right or it does not matter) and then we did a tour a Blakeney with 25 more jump squats at CK, behind Target and back at 131 Main.  Let’s be clear, One Star will never allow down time.  He is the Abs man and kept us going.  Thank you One Star.

More exercise – Station 3 – Cross Ardrey Kell and work the long straight away in the office park for more legs.  Partner up to ensure proper social distancing.  Partner 1, 50 walking lunges, partner 2, 25 Merkins and then rest until partner 1 was done.  Again, no rest for One Star.  More abs. Then partner 2 starts 50 lunges, partner 1 does 25 Merkins and waits for partner.  Repeat.  Then round 3 was 25 reverse lunges and 25 Merkins.  Same process.  Yes, One Star pushed for more abs and when the PAX slowed or complained he pushed more.  It was awesome.  Love the support.

Then it was time for the FNG’s to show their youth.  SPRINTS (again any Q led by YHC will include sprints).  We worked about 6 parking lot islands for sprints, group 1 and group 2 with the FNG’s partnered up, they won every race.  And still had more energy.  For the record, the FNG’s are scholarship athletes in college, so they better have smoked us.

Back to Blakeney and meet at the fountains.  Partner up with 1 doing step ups on the wall while partner 2 ran around the horseshoe parking lot.  Time was running out, so we did not get to our goal of 100 steps ups (2 is 1), but we got close.

Time was up, so we moseyed back to launch for more abs led by One Star.

• Thank you Midriff for coordinating the donuts and coffee and as always just being a GREAT F3 support.
• Thank you Soft Pretzel, for always keeping us on track, ensuring the PAX was good and helping out at COT with FNG’s. He also took us out with a solid message.
• Much appreciation for One Star for partnering up with YHC and ensuring there was never too much rest time.
• Smuggler had to bolt so the iron would warm up in time for him to iron his Santa suit and make his tee time. Any photo’s?
• Cable Guy, you brought me out to F3 and you have always made it a priority to attend when I am Q. Thank you.
• IMO, Stuffing has the best F3 name of the day as his first day was Thanksgiving.
• Always happy to provide some libations when I can and today the PAX was treated to our newest beer, HAZY IPA.  Super HAZY and Super Juicy.  Big Ben is not a coffee drinker, so his post workout drink was a beer.  Well done!!!
• Let’s close out with the FNG’s. Two young bucks with some speed.
  • First we have Drew, who is a college baseball player and surfer. He was given the name of War Child. The hair…….
  • Next up is Carson (2.0) who is playing college rugby, from KY, but a GA fan. His nick name lines up right with his dad.  Dad is Stuffing and 2.0 is Green Bean.
  • Welcome FNG’s and expect you to post while home.
