SPELLING Continues at Purple Cobra
FNGs: None
EC: Redenbacher & ShamWow! Nice job men!
Warm Up: Arrived at the BP/Harris Teeter parking lot a bit early and found two cars (one with an F3 sticker) and felt confident I was in the right place. I had reached out to Foghorn for some guidance, specifically, if there was a rock pile. I toyed with the idea of doing a repeat workout with my spelling sheets that was successfully implemented the day before at PC. I saw a HC from Deadbolt the night before and thought I should change things up so I planned out a rock routine for this boot camp. As the clock struck 5:30, no signs of Deadbolt. (I later learned he ended up at a different site this am). I also learned the rocks at this AO were let’s say, smaller than I was accustomed to, compared to other rocks at other SW sites. It was determined that SPELLING was now back in play. Four PAX followed YHC around the parking lots and back to the flag for the following warmup exercises: 10 cc Good am, Don Quixote, Daisy Pickers, Overhead Claps, Seal Claps, Sir Fazio Arm Circles (F/B), Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers. SSH X 25. I think I deeked out Foghorn a couple of times as my starting positions did not correlate with the warmup exercise. Apologies. I think my mind was racing ahead. No matter. PAX seemed in good spirits despite all of the crazy COVID-19 stuff going on.
The Workout: Grabbed my SPELLING HOMEWORK from the car. This was a list of exercises from our F3 exicon in alphabetical order with a number of reps associated with it. See Photo below. Asked PAX where was a good wall to commence some wall exercises. Ran over to a new building behind the HT. Had PAX execute people’s Chair (each PAX called a 10 cc) up the line. Recover. Back on the wall with BTTW starting from opposite direction, again with each PAX calling a 10 cc down the line. Rinse and repeat 2 additional times. I think it was about this time ShamWow! Wanted to tell some jokes. There is always one. Just like this one: Did you hear a lot of celebrities are being diagnosed with COVID-19? Fortunately, John Travolta was misdiagnosed. Yeah he has the Saturday Night Fever but he’s still “Staying Alive, Staying Alive!” OK, I will not quit my day job. With homework in hand, we ran to the road by the burger joint and across from the DD. It had a nice hill with some protective barriers at the bottom marking off a future road extension. I handed each PAX a paper in a clear plastic holder. Discussed they had to spell their full names out and then add their F3 name. One letter at the top of the road. Run to the bottom and do the exercise corresponding to the next letter. Diversions to a wall were allowed to perform certain exercises like A = Australian Mtn Climbers. The PAX performed the following letters/exercises:
CRAIG JOSEPH NELSON DAUBER
SHAUN TIMOTHY BROTHERS FOGHORN
MARK ALLEN RUSSO SHAMWOW! (! Was substituted for another letter R, helping Redenbacher finish off his name)
MARC STEVEN LEMIRE BOBBY DALL
COREY BRANDON TAYLOR REDENBACHER
A little over two miles were covered at this “boot camp” – sorry fellas for the extra running.
Mary: With only a few minutes left, we gathered our gear (lots of garments were thrown to the ground during this workout) and ran back to the flag, tired, but still in high spirits. Had PAX hold squat while I grabbed my phone. I wanted to record PAX full names, including their middle. Getting old. Led PAX with some AB exercises that included 6 inch hold, box cutters, and LBCs.
Announcements: See FB/Slack. Eat red delicious apples.
T-Claps (Recognition): ShamWow! Got a new job/promotion. Rumor has it he will be colleagues with Oprah. Really. No sh#t.
Prayer: Everyone impacted by virus, emotionally, financially, physically, etc. UNSPOKEN. I may have forgotten a prayer request – apologies. YHC took us out.
Honor to lead! – Dauber
