Sesame Street Spelling & Combat Moves…Love Sheepdog!
FNGs: none
Warm Up: Turned into Herbert Aikens after seeing two glowing lights in the distance heading my way. I confirmed EC by Shredder and Martini. Nice work. Was not sure how many PAX would be in attendance. Shredder and I contemplated a few ideas and he promised a nice beat down via pre-blast on Slack. Numerous vehicles rolled in including one late AO owner that resulted in 10 burpees for the PAX given at the start of Mary. This would be the third (possibly final) time I brought the alphabet list to an AO. It had been successfully executed earlier in the week at Paradise City and Purple Cobra. I was confident that the Fuquay PAX had not experienced this workout yet. Before getting to the newly described Sesame Street spelling workout, I had the PAx jog around the parking lot on a cloudy 54 degree morning. Circled up by the two shovel flags. It was Friday and PAX were in a GREAT mood regardless of the recent Wake County announcement. THAT is why THESE PAX are so special! Adversity comes their way and they face it head on with a smile. PAX got busy with the following 10 cc warmup exercises: good am, Don Quixote, Daisy Pickers, sir Fazio arm circles, seal claps, overhead claps, imperial walkers, hillbillies and 25 SSH.
The Workout: each PAX received an alphabet card A-Z. Each letter had a different exercise and a number of reps. PAX were instructed to spell out their full names. Time permitting, add their F3 name. After spelling one letter, PAX would run the distance in the parking lot, length of the bus corridor, and begin the next letter in their name. Rinse and repeat until full names spelled. Shredder jumped in after PAX completed their spelling lesson with some awesome arm movements, both blocking and striking. Memo to all: I do not think you ever want to F#@^ with Shredder. Just saying. Thank you brother for your insights and demonstration.
The PAX performed exercises based on the following full names (some did their F3 name too):
CRAIG JOSEPH NELSON DAUBER
JESS DANIEL HINES DOVETAIL
EVERETTE SCOTT DANIEL SPRINKLER
JEFFREY THOMAS DUDLEY GUMP
DAVID WARREN CONNOR MARTINI
TODD ROBERT COLE NORM
JOEL MICHAEL GENIESSE SHREDDER
TRAVIS EUGENE CUNDIFF LIPSYNC
Mary: 10 burpees due to Dovetail running late; then each PAX called a 10 cc AB exercise. If my memory serves me right, we did LBCs, Box cutters, Freddie Mercury, Hello Dollies, Left and Right side lifts, low slow flutter and heel taps.
Announcements: See post re: Wake County new guidance/ordinance. Be smart. Be aware of F3 brand/perception. Look to the greenways and personal property to meet up and carry on the AOs. New norm for the time being.
T-Claps (Recognition): THESE PAX at Sheepdog. You all brought your “A” game. Great attitude. Great mumble chatter.
Prayer: I needed help and Dovetail graciously took us out. Thank you brother. Lots of UNSPOKEN. COVID -19 impact on all of us, our families, our first responders, etc.
Keep in contact with each other. We all know how important F3 (not just the workout) is to all of us. Get creative. Keep it alive and keep it safe.
A unique 2nd F took place post workout at a Starbucks in a parking lot with lots of separation.
