It was a last minute Q substitute, but YHC was ready as there was an area of Ballantyne we had not used for the Brave. At least one I have not used. The cul-de-sacs of Wingman and Markettimer’s hood. I had planned to use these in the past, but the rain always ruined the plan. I saw the forecast and thought, not again……but when we all met at launch point, I said, we are going to get wet as 1 hour and 4 miles in a garage is NOT FUN!!!
Upon leaving launch point we worked are way east on Ballantyne Commons toward the apartments. I informed the PAX that the theme of the day was 2 and 13. My youngest 2.0 turns 13 today and it is July 2nd. Thus 2 and 13. Several grumbles coming from PAX. I always enjoy the grumbles from the PAX.
Warmup
15 SSH
15 Lo Slo Squats
Plank position stretching with right leg to right hand and then switch to left foot to left hand
The Thang
Run lap around apartment parking lot. Then pair up for partner work. Remember 2 and 13. Each PAX does 2 Merkins and then run opposite direction from partner around the parking lot. At point of reaching partner on lap (half – way) execute 13 air squats and complete lap. 3 sets
Mosey over to the cul-de-sac neighborhood with amazing hills.
1st cul-de-sac 2 burpees, run to the end, 13 jump squats, repeat
2nd cul-de-sac 2 peter parkers, run to the end, 13 bonnie blairs, repeat
3rd cul-de-sac 2 merkins, run to the end, 13 merkins (legs needed a rest, haha), repeat
4th cul-de-sac 2 lunges, run to the end, 13 dips, runs backwards, repeat
Mosey back towards launch, but we still had 13 minutes so time hit up a parking garage. Each PAX to lead mary as we work up the levels.

Then on the way down 10 Merkins at each turn, 60 total
Two 45 second wall sits and back to launch
Moleskin:
I was looking forward to Soft Pretzel’s beatdown, but also enjoy being able to Q the Brave. YHC is upon his 1 year anniversary with F3 and although Bagpipe was my first posting, The Brave was my second and has become the one I look forward to each week. I truly appreciate all the men of F3 and it has been good to me mentally and physically. THANK YOU men of F3.
