THE 6TH MAN:
13 Clyents showed up to Dinner to enjoy some football and tennis on a “Kids eat free” night. Lots of bitching banter from Wrigley about the injuries from his co-Site Q’s chefs. He has had to prepare the dinners all alone lately.

PRAYER OF THANKS TO TAKE US OUT!
Dasher made a call to the bullpen last night when the original Q was unable to make it because he was at the beach. I won’t call out that F3 member (his name rhymes with Deadwood) but that is a lame excuse not to Q. needless to say I began right away preparing for my Q waited until the morning to get my Q vibe going and I think I worked out pretty well. DICC’s given. Foundation claimed to have a cell phone but nobody in the group was willing to verify that.
Warm up
Mosey around to the front of the middle school and circle up.
20 x SSH
That’s enough of that….let’s get back to our mosey. Indian run around the front of the middle school and high school and continue around the perimeter of the campus until we make it around to Rudy’s Shed.
20 x mountain climbers
Various stretches
The Thang
Partner up and run a lap around the bus lot island. P1 goes one way and P2 goes the other. After the end of each lap you meet up and complete 10 hand release merkins. Rinse and repeat x 3
Go to the entrance of the high school gym. Do 10 mike Tysons and run down the stairs to the first street light and do 10 Bobby Hurley’s. Back to the gym for 10 mike Tysons. Run down to the 2nd street light for 10 Bobby Hurley’s and the back to the gym for Tyson’s. keep doing this until you get down to the street light in front of Rudy’s poop palace. it was either 6 or 7 lights. I’m not sure as my body was in survival mode by the end.
Mosey over to the benches behind the high school cafeteria. 15 dips at the benches and then run over to the picnic tables for 15 step ups. Rinse and repeat x 5.
Long mosey back around the front of the high school where the time on my watch was questioned several times. Made it to COT with 20 seconds left.
The Moleskin
Great group of guys this morning! Tool Time and Glidah left everyone in the dust. The rest of the Waxhaw express (Bottlecap and Dasher) were right behind them all morning…..The Waxhaw Express crushed it today. LRC is no longer a throuple but looked like a very happy couple today. They had already partnered up before I even finished saying partner up. Hope the recovery is going well Deflated. I bet Dana wasn’t expecting 5+ miles today. Rucking has been working for that guy as he crushed it today and has already committed to attending ignition on Monday. #nolongeraclydesdale. Ice 9…where the hell were you today! I finally could have had my redemption.

I want to thank everyone for allowing me to come to Diesel and share some fun exercises. I have to give credit to Miyagi for showing up for 3 days in a row after coming to F3 as an FNG this week. Bunyan received the chain of pain for driving through the exercises and pushing to not take short cuts on completing 11’s.
Announcements
Blood drive 10/17 9:30-1 connect to redcross.org and search for F3 to sign up.
Surge is working on setting up another CPR class and would be looking for up to 10 PAX to sign up.
As I was asked yesterday to Q The Floater I was not sure what to do. Which hills do we tackle or no hills? Is it possible to only run down hill at the Floater? As 530 rolled around 14 Pax joined me for a little of this and that. DiCCS was given, the mandatory phones, lights, reflective attire, CPR, and Chapstick were present. For the Gazelles today you can knock out Burpees or circle for the 6 if done first.
We started with a quick Mosey around the church to the animal hospital parking lot for a mix of Side Straddle Hops, Merkins, Stretching, Mountain Climbers, and Imperial Walkers. A quick Mosey to the north end of N Providence St for a little Paula Abdul (two steps forward one step back) 10 Merkins on the way up, and 10 Squats on the way back. Barny Fife wait no it was Recalculating taking the reins of the form police today reminding everyone that a squat was not a back exercise. As we finished at the brewery we partnered up for 200 LBC, 150 Step Ups, 100 Derkins which was audibled to 200, 100, 75. The other partner ran the loop over the tracks to the bridge and Bear Crawled up the bridge, then Mosey back to swap spots. As everyone finished and the grumblings subsided we Moseyed to the other side of Providence Rd for 20, 15, 10, 5 Dips with a hot lap around the block in between.
As time was called for COT and everyone arrived back I am continued to be impressed by Chatterbox, and Ex-Lax. There never stop, never quit, never complain mentality has been noticed and impressive as they continue to get stronger and faster day after day, week after week. Everyone pushed hard and stayed safe, we continue to cross the roads together. It is great seeing the increase in reflective gear and headlamps. All complaints about the workout can go to management Carb Load, and Shake N Bake they will properly dispose in the garbage.

YHC took us out.

It is always a blessing, honor, and privilege to lead our F3 Paxs.
Brothers, our country means the world to me, I hate to see this divide that we are in. I pray for this nation and the citizens that she mothers.
F3 helps me keep the faith, God sent FuseBox to fly that flag this morning, it was not coincidences, it is proof, he speaks when you need to hear.
Thank You F3 Brothers.
Gob Bless..
Hi Hat.

Kirby had the PAX running and doing pain stations at each light on the main road into the school.
Time is running short, so forgive me for the quick BB, but at least it’ll get done.. I had mutiple pax threaten ask to please limit the amount of ab workouts as we had Chipotle burn a record bunch of us out the previous day at Bushwood for a 65% ab, 5% merkin 30% running day. I lost count at 500 reps.. I obliged, but those waiting for the 6 may not have gotten the memo.
Warmup:
Mosey/snake up and down lot.
SSH/IW x20, Low Slow squats x15, Calf Stretch, Up/Down Dog, and runner stretch
Thang:
Usually those that know me would expect a heavy day of coupon work and running, but this AO usually has a big group, so it was switched up from our normal program.
Quick 10 count recover, head to back of Middle school, nope, not through the buses, all the way around (safety First).
I mentioned we get some mileage in here.
Individual reps and run around short track with 5 Leap frog burpees at far end.
Repeat until Q says so.. think most got a good 6 laps or so before having to cut it short. Looked like i saw some flutters going on as I was hanging near the 6 on the last lap. I didn’t call for those BTW.
Small note, and this is my bone of contention that I have to get over: Irkins vs Derkins… The Derkin form/position is more like and incline pushup working the upper chest and front delts, while the Irkin is more of the Decline pushup working the under-manboob to help with definition… little confusing, but they will all cut you up if you do enough.. Sorry for the rant.
Sugardaddy gave a 10 count for recover.
Head back to COT, Sort of… Back around the buses (safety first) head to parking lot and Al Gore at trees for 6. 2 mins left, 5 squats at every other tree to end at COT.
Moleskin: The morning temps are becoming perfect to get out and move. Always nice to get out an lead a workout, starting to feel a bit more normal and not quite as odd being in the middle stuttering over counts. had a handful of Pax crushing it, some of the norm, but we have Smuggler the newcomer vying to make us all push harder and not get set in our trance. way to go..
Announcements:

Rousey would have been our 12th pax this morning but when he realized he was standing in the circle for Meathead and not Anvil he quickly ran away.
Our playlist was 100% Van Halen in honor of the recent passing of Eddie. It was a spotify playlist and some of the pax expressed their displeasure that some of their favorite hits didn’t play. I thought it was a little Sammy heavy myself. Ickey Shuffle said it would be a struggle for him not to cry but he kept himself composed.
I call this weinke KettleHell. It starts out easy but if you make it all the way through(without modifying) your legs will be jello and your cardio will be tested.
Annoucements:
It’s my birthday tomorrow. Nothing would be a better present than you signing up for the blood drive.
