First Q at da Vinci

First Q at da Vinci

Could be YHCs first Saturday Q. no. really? At least for a long time. That is for sure.

With weinke-in-a-bag in the pocket and recon and mapping done the night before, 6 men launched at 0700 for a good workout.

The Thang
IW x 20 IC
SSH x 20 IC
Mountain Climbers x 20 IC
10 Merkins – Civilain Count on my call.  Down, you say 1

.5 Mile Loop
Start/Finish at the fountain in front of Banana Republic
Lap one. Fellowship pace.
20 dips on fountain
Lap two – Bratwurst theory. It’s half a mile, so… 1 mile pace? Ok. Go.
Pax may optionally take inside loop around McAlisters and TCBY
We pick up a Pax along the way (Outback). Now we are 7.

Mosey toward Jos A Bank
High wall across and stand backward and grab the railing.
20 leg lifts. This looked great on paper and still did the trick. Small lip on brick sticks out.
Strategery need to keep shoulders from popping out. Go higher up or lower down.

Mosey toward Blakeney Heath
Planned to use the small wall behind the toy store for step-ups. 5-0 was eating donuts there so decided to keep rolling. Mic Check led us in Merkins and Plank-o-rama waiting on six. Wait where’s Kevin (loogie)! Circle back and find him. Somehow thought we were doing .5 loop again. Q Fail there. Regroup and head back up Blakeney Heath.

10 Merkins – Civilian count at corner of Knightsdale and Mitchell Glen
New territory found. Unlimited rocks of all sizes.
20 Curls
20 Overhead Presses
20 Tricep Extensions
Repeato

Playground
Leave the rocks behind (set down quietly) and head out towards playground on Blakeney Heath
10 Full Pull-ups. 5 if you need to.
20 Original Sit-ups.
Repeato.
Mic Check called 5-2-2-1 on the second set. Great Call!

Autumn Applause
Apparently a PAX lives on this street and he didn’t make workout this morning. Should we wake him? Decided better of it. At each intersection we alternate
Willow Tree – 10 Burpees
Huntland – 10 Merkins Civilian Cadence all the way down,up
Stags Leap – Somehow we missed this. It was on the wienke.
Fieldcroft – 10 Burpees

Mosey Toward Launch
10 Civilian merkins at Blakeney Heath
10 Civilian merkins at Launch as we wait for six.

Was worried at 655a YHC would be only PAX. Bunker, followed by Loogie, Mic Check, Cable Guy, Marlin, Outback all rolled in. Great second F with a smaller crowd.

Great job to Mic Check, Bunker and Marlin, Cable Guy – you guys flew around the 1/2 mile. YHC had 4m so i can only guess you guys were near lower 3s??? Sweet.

Nice job modifying Loogie. And you mananged to pick up Outback along they way!
Loogie thanks for hanging in there with the merkins and rocks with the shoulder. Hope it feels better soon.

Outback – a 10k, Stonehenge and da Vinci? Amazing energy level. #F3Strong

Thanks for taking us out Mic Check. An honor to lead you all this morning.
