Burpees, Merkins, burpees, Merkins, burpees….

Cotton Tail took the lead this morning as 21 men including 1 FNG showed up for a good ole fashioned F3 workout. Knowing that Cotton Tail and his wife have 11 2.0s we knew this morning was going to be tough, disciplined, and no one would be able to shake him off his game.

The thang-
Mosey to the parking lot for some sort of COP. After the disclaimer was given a glimpse of the agenda was mentioned “there will be plenty of Merkins and Burpees”.
*10 burpees
*2 Merkins – 5 LBCs, 4 Merkins – 10 LBCs, 6 Merkins – 15 LBCs… All the way to 20 Merkins and 50 LBCs
*mosey to top playground by stadium concession stand – split into 4 groups. G1 burpees, G2 dips, G3 lunges, G4 run to parking lot and back. Rotate to next station when runners get back. Go through complete cycle 4 times.
*mosey down to track for 1 lap – each corner do 20 Merkins
* mosey back to parking lot for some Mary

The skin-
Great Q by the Cotton Tail himself. A ton of chatter during the COP until the Merkins went from “this is monotonous to this is getting difficult to when will we stop?!?” No chatter from Lobstah Roll as he knocked them out without breaking a sweat.

As we moseyed to the playground, instead of monitoring their own form and keeping themselves accountable, seemed like the pax was much more interested in what everyone else was going in their groups. “Peacock – get your hands out of your pockets and do some lunges!” “Cheese Curd – glad you’re back but you’ve got to do more than 1 burpee!” Just some of the comments which were heard…

Stone Cold mumbled something about beating the soccer guys on the sprints. Not a good motivation tool. Epic fail.

Lots of talk of Freedoms traveling red juke jeep! Sure to be an appearance @ Joust soon!

Dollywood was still busting chops for the “classic rock” of the 80s from Skunk Works! You need to grow up son.

Respect to sansei – you inspire more men than you know!!

Thanks to Yeti for EHing FNG Craw Dad! As names were being offered up Skywalker and Header got into a debate on who Gary Coleman played on 80s sitcom Different Strokes. What you talkin’ bout Skywalker?!? Header had it right – Arnold Jackson!

Great job Cotton Tail!

Good lead cotton tail. For my 1st workout of 2016, I guess it’s what I needed. Well, apparently it was too heavy on burpees since after the sprint, I did not “always” complete my ten burpees at station one.

He didn’t admit to it, but I assume it was Header watching my form. Go figure, from the guy spends more time flexing for the crowd! Guess he had a few minutes to keep an eye on me!
