Bday Q #2

It was a little cooler this morning than yesterday but at least it was dry. Good to be back at The Nut with some familiar faces and a great showing with 13 total PAX in attendance. Thanks to all for coming out this morning and allowing YHC the honor to lead.

FNGs: None

Warm Up:

After the F3 mission statement quiz/refresher we did a quick mosey around the parking lot and circled up for
– Good Mornings x 10 IC
– Daisy Pickers x 10 IC
– Windmills x 10 IC
– Imperial Walkers x 10 IC
– Hillbillies x 10 IC
– SSH x 20 IC

The Workout:

We moseyed to the side parking lot where it became apparent that another group (Gladiators?) had infringed on our territory so we continued the mosey around the back to avoid potential conflict with the offending party. We settled on the circular loop for a modified version of 4 corners. PAX numbered off and split into 4 groups 0f 3 (and one group of 4 to account for the odd number).

Each round consisted of 4 exercises – one at each cone. Traveling between cones took place via alternating between crab walk, bear crawl, crawl bear, and lunge walk. At the completion of each round, we moseyed to the gate and back (roughly 200m round trip).

Round 1 – 20 counts of each exercise: Merkins, WW2’s, Carolina Dry Docks, LBC’s
Round 2 – 15 counts each: Squats, Dips, Squat Jumps, Low Slow Flutter
Round 3 – 10 counts each: Merkins, WW2’s, Carolina Dry Docks, LBC’s
Round 4 – 5 counts each: Squats, Dips, Squat Jumps, Low Slow Flutter

We collected the cones and moseyed back to the front of the school. After partnering up, partner A ran a lap around the parking lot while partner B did an exercise until partner a returned then partner A did the exercise while partner B ran. Round 1: Irkins, Round 2: Dips, Round 3: Step ups

With 5 minutes remaining, it was then time for…

American Hammers x 20 IC
LBC’s x 20 IC

This is a Nice Hallway!

All YHC knew was that there was going to be limited running today. The weather was supposed to be awful, but at “GO” time, there was no sign of rain, so YHC decided to go with the non-rain plan for this workout. F3 happens rain or shine, cold or heat…but Downtown Train comes with the luxury at times to head into the Bat Cave parking deck, if needed, for shelter. So we were outside and inside and in between.

FNG’s: Welcome Laettner!
Warm Up: Everything x 10 IC. Good Mornings, Frankensteins, Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps and then 25 IC SSH. Mosey to go get a rock.
The Workout: When Pax had chosen a rock of choice we did Cusack up to the top of the hill and onto the sidewalk on Main. St. in front of town hall for a Circle of Rock under the Holiday lights. 30 counts of everything, followed by 20 counts of everything. Everything included: Curls for the Girls, Rut Rows IC, Shoulder Press, and Tricep Press. We also did 10 IC of Rock Spanks, Toe Taps, Wonderbras, and Bus Drivers. Moseyed with rock down to the parking garage.

Next up was 7’s with Dirkins on the knee wall and Ground Pounders. Moseyed up the stairs to the second level and a change of plan was in order. YHC saw the nicely lit covered hallway between buildings with lighting that I’ve never used for F3 before and decided we would do some Thangs there. YHC usually tires to find areas and places at each site that I’ve never been before and try to get some work done there. Each Pax took 2 turns heading down the stairs and performing 10 squats before returning. Whilst Pax were gone, remaining PAX did 2 round of the following exercises AMRAP: Irkins, Dips, Lunge Walks, Shoulder Taps, Nipplers.

Went back down stairs for a Bear Crawl along the length of the deck to our rocks. Finished with a 20 and then a 30 ct. each Pax People’s Chair.
Mary: 25 Midget Cookie Pouch, 15 LSF IC with Rock. Plank hold 30 seconds. Have a nice day!
Announcements: CSAUP in the FV next Saturday…ruck style. Check Slack. Rain started sliding in so onto prayer!
