Holy Toledo! Detroit Meets South Wake
QICs: Brexit and UTI
PAX: UTI, 2PAC, Paleo, Colonel, Pilgrim, Klinger, Costello, Mr. Belding, Brexit
AO: Canton High School, F3 Detroit
ECEC: Pilgrim ran to the AO from home ~2 miles. This guy is impressive. Great pace.
EC: Paleo (aka The Noid), Pilgrim, Brexit, and YHC
FNGs: There was a guy, apparently this was his second time out but he still didn’t have a name. He left the workout about 30 mins in. Something about a crazy Brit running him off… Oh well… F3 isn’t for everybody. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Warm Up: Brexit and I were a little gitty with anticipation and we just jumped right into The Workout. I guess we can count the mozy from the parking lot to the bleachers as a warm-up.
The Workout: This mustard-seed has a great AO to start itself off with. It’s a huge multi-school complex with a turf field and some massive bleachers. Plenty of room to move around with walls, fences, and more…. Disney – eat your heart out.
YHC started things off at the bleachers. 10 PAX broke up into teams of 2. Partners started with 10 Patty Cake Merkins, Partner 1 stayed on the ground with continuous LBCs while partner 2 ran to the top of the bleachers and back. On the return, another round of 10 Patty Cake Merkins and the partners switch place. The LBCs were swapped for squats as the PAX continued this round robin 3x each.
Brexit was up next with some circuits on the track. He got us started with one lap around, stopping at one of the short ends. PAX did 10 Merkins, 10 Freddie Mercs, and 10 American Hammers. We ran to the opposite short-end of the track and repeated. 2x around the track stopping at either end to repeat the 3 sets of 10.
YHC was back in the game. Admittedly, I had a winky prepared and must have lost it on the track somewhere. I remembered the spirit of what I wanted to do next and kept the momentum. Back to the bleachers! Partnering up again, Partner 1 went balls-to-the-wall while Partner 2 did 15x Erkins, Derkins, or Dips. Once the 15 were done, Partner 2 would return to Partner 1 and switch. Continue through until each partner completed their 15 Erkins, Derkins, and Dips. YHC went toe-to-toe with 2-PAC on the balls-to-the-wall and fell in defeat on the dismount. Apologies to Mr. Belding for falling on him and for the immense amount of sweat I transferred to him on contact… You South Wake boys know what I do. That’s one way to make an impression I suppose.
Mary: Brexit took us through Mary and we got to know what these guys were all about with a little plank-o-rama. We had Pickle Pounders, Freddie Mercs, Diamond Merkins, Lieutenant Dan’s, Carolina Dry Docks, and LBCs to name a few. These boys are alright!
Announcements: Continued support for Detroit as they work to grow their mustard seed.
T-Claps (Recognition): Thanks to F3 Detroit for the warm welcoming and allowing us to lead. It was a great day. They could use some work on their weather though, awfully NC-like right now.
Prayer: 2 PAC took us out. We are all thankful for what F3 brings to our lives and pray to see it grow in Detroit so that it may provide for others what has provided for us.
