YHC had never been to Olde Providence – shameful as it’s an Area 51 site not too far from said home. Thankful Spackler had a midday tee time in Orlando and needed someone to take his morning Q. As I sat down to think of a game plan since I didn’t know the terrain, and I’ve never been Q for a moderate intensity either; I felt that I wanted to run through a variety of exercises – much like I myself needed to expand upon my comfortable 3 mile existence and visit more AO and meet brothers in pain.

…So after a High Tide led arm burnout (Pre-KB); YHC welcomed the 8 other PAX and off we went…

Moleskin:
Fellow Disclaimer: Whenever you make it up on the fly at an AO you’re not familiar with – don’t expect a precise BB. Those men that were in attendance knew what we did. That being said, the above is a taste of the randomness that we did today. See a curb…hmm. I bet we can do a crazy merkin exercise. That’s how our crazy F3 minds work now; and that’s a great thing.
– Props for scissorhands and bootlegger for running in. Bet you didn’t expect running with KB when you decided that!
– High Tide was killing the pull ups – Pre KB didn’t slow him down.
– Heartbreaker was lapping everyone. Almost a year in and he’s showing how F3 transforms us.
– Sid the Kid has a month in. What possesses us to start early morning bootcamp workouts in the winter? He knows as of us F3 brothers do. Tclaps Sid – keep it coming!
– Haven’t been to Saturday Cofferteria in a while; YHC missed great 2nd F after a good beatdown.
– Hope everyone was pushed; while still feeling moderate was the recipe.
– Honor leading today. Stone Cold with a great closing prayer. Let’s keep everyone that needs prayers in our hearts. Thanks to Spackler for asking me to help him out. Enjoy the warmth. Don’t work too hard!
