3-Alarm Fun Run – St. Pattys Edition

(3 alarm fun run missing from Backblast AO drop down)

Good mumblechatter at the 3-Alarm Fun Run with Mr. Davis as we ran 2.65 mi around Holly Glenn. Davis provided high praise by saying he felt like he was flying!

Had to stop and get a St. Patrick’s day picture with the quintessential holiday decoration: a giant leprechaun skeleton. :four_leaf_clover:

Shout out to @Choppa for the assistance at start and finish!!

Great running with you, @Davis TeitelbaumF3;3Alarm !

Getting Lucky at Prison Yard

Wax Off

Burpees, We don’t do those here!

It is true you learn something new everyday, today I learned that @Gumpis developing a Q rating system, there is only one way to truly do a Ground Pounder, apparently only @Motor Boatin’ is allowed to call Low Slow Flutter in the Mary, and that this AO is extremely allergic to Burpees!

However, if you’ve been to one of my Q’s, you know the drill.  Late attendance must pay the burpee penalty, so the group determined that I was starting out in the negative numbers on my Q rating performance, haha.

FNGs:

None

Warm Up:

Standard Warmup: SSH, SFAC, GM

The Workout:

Headed to the Rock pile, where most of us grabbed a smedium sized rock and hit a 5 station x 3 round circuit.

We then woseyed to the building, where after we determined the illegal placement of vending machines hadn’t been cleared by F3 Guard, we completed 3 rounds of Peoples Chair and Balls to the Wall.

A popcorn Mary that included two low slow flutters and a scolding, haha.
