Ting Circles

PAX of 9 today at Running For The John aka R4TJ. We had a 10th HC but something kept him sidelined. YHC wanted to try some new today. We partnered up and YHC passed out a baton for each team.

We did a loop all together to warm up. Once we got back to the start, baton runner was to take off and run at a fast pace until they caught up to the partner that was to mosey until caught. YHC and Sardine got two loops in until we started getting close to our partner. Once you had off the baton, you stop and do 10 merkins and 10 air squats. YHC quickly changed the strategy bc this one wasn’t going to work. It took over a mile to catch up. So the new plan was the baton runner ran one full fast paced lap, then reversed direction back to partner then switch. Still incorporating the exercises. Most PAX got to switch 3 times each. Final lap, we all came together as a group to cool down. We got in close to 5 miles in a little over 40 mins. Then we did some stretching of the legs.

COT for announcements and prayers. YHC counted the 6th PAX to tell how they got their F3 name, how long they’ve been doing F3 and what F3 has done for them. Bleeder was the lucky candidate. YHC took us out in prayer.

Thanks for dealing with the shenanigans this morning. The stimulus was definitely met. Until next time….
BS Out!

Curling on Heroin Hill

/in /by

FNGs: NoneWarm Up: SSH IC, Good Mornings IC, Sir Fasio Arm Circles, and stretching.

The Workout: A mix of elevation gaining exercises of Murder Bunnies and Moonwalks up Heroin Hill (rocks in tow), Dips and Urkins on the guardrail at the top, something resembling Olympic shot put/curling/bocce on the way down, and Burpees and WW1s at the bottom. Some complaints were filed by some competitors alleging that the rocks were not uniform and that some competitors in the shot put had an unfair advantage. To settle the controversy, rocks were rotated among each man with a rotation of Ground Pounders, Curls Fu Du Gurls, Tris Fu Du Guys, WW3s, and Overhead Presses.
