True North

True North

Dromedary pax is always a strong bunch just like any other post in this fine land we call F3Nation. As always we have one in the pax who challenges us to go harder or push our limits. Today was no different and when you are tired and ready for it to be over. More on that later…

Virtual Shovel Flag Planted

The Thang:

Jog over to high school entrance where the concrete is dry – disclaimer
COP
SSH x 25
Windmills x 15
Mountain Climbers x 20
Monkey Squats 10 Civilian count

Partner up:
P1 runs around island parking lot while P2 does
Merkins – Flap Jack
LBC’s – Flap Jack
Ramp rail sliders/ bear crawl to start – flap jack
Rinse and repeato – crowd favorite
All pax runs island parking ends with ramp rail sliders bear crawls are greeted with Popeye (slap arse) as the faster guys crawled under.
Varies planks and 10 counts thrown in between sets for good measure.

Take a trip around the world. 10 Merkins at light poles to wait on the six. At North South East West stop and do 5 Burpees or modify with squats. (Define true north)

Slow mosey back to cars for pax choice Mary. Done:

The Moleskin:
Never pay attention to the twitter talk about weather. There was a bit of a drizzle but no real rain so the plan was simply to have fun. By now most of the Dromedary crew knows that when I lead we run. Mumble chatter started on the run up to the high school. We circle round to pick up Bratwurst only to have birthday boy roll in late. Followed by  who by the way needs to get on twitter.
After demonstrating the Monkey Squat,  Bratwurst added a twist and called it “Monkey Squat Humpers” which will debut the next time he Q’s.  As I mentioned above there is one in the pax who always questions theory. In the past I always ignored it, but lately I get caught thinking about it as do other pax.  Last week it was temperature and falling stars. Today it was true north.  As we approached the world on the far entrance at the school I instruct the pax to run around the world and do said # of burpees at North – South – East – West. Bratwurst asks “how do we know where true north is”? Oh boy here we go again. I would say Bratwurst was talking about this “True North”, but then I thought…. nope he is probably talking about this “True North”. Once you read all of that you realize how the site Q’s get the pax motivated to go stronger. You learn something while you are running or lifting rocks. Thank you for the opportunity to lead.
Bratwurst took us out with a meaningful prayer.
