Earn that Bacon

/in /by

Today was a first in F3SouthWake. A few PAX have been talking for a few years about having a 2nd F breakfast after a workout to showoff their skills on the griddle. Finally, the day was here. We had an early start (0515) and a shorter (30 min) workout to accommodate this event. YHC had the Q and wanted to PAX to earn that bacon and sausage. We arrived at 0500 to get set up. There were 23 total PAX that came out to enjoy this first time event at Possum Trot, SW’s Original AO site. YHC forgot a cone for the workout so a banana would be the substitute. So I grabbed one and here’s what some PAX called 30 mins of Hell.

Warm up
Mosey down to lower part of park for some carioca, butt kickers, high knees, and slides.

With 3 mins to go, we completed Dora gathered back to the starting lot. This is Fuquay’s finest parking lot that comes with razor blade rocks for your liking. We were about to have pancakes with our meat and cup of Joe so I figured let’s try something I’ll call a “flapjack”. Pax lays on their back. Do a WWI then roll over and complete a merkin. 10 total OYO. Everyone got to experience this never forgetting parking lot.

COT
No new PAX.
Announcements: Breach with Travis Manion event on April 28. Details on slack.
Prayers: traveling PAX, those with injuries
Quick word: Easter weekend is here. Remember Jesus and what he went through this week. Hope that everyone can worship this Sunday and reflect on his sacrifice.

This was a very successful event. Hopefully we can do this again possibly in the fall. Thanks for all the PAX that attended and especially for those that contributed to an amazing breakfast. Fonzie and LED on the griddles. Abacus with coffee. Breach and his bigger table that wouldn’t fit in his micro machine car. Thanks for the support and allowing me to lead such a strong group.

BS Out!

Amigos and Boulder Bases

/in /by

FNGs: Welcome Sombrero!

Warm Up: slide straddle hops, good mornings, Willie May Hayes, imperial walkers, hillbillies, sir fazio arm circles, seal claps

The Workout: Boulder Bases: 8 PAX moseyed to the rocks, grabbed our pick of the litter to play a game YHC calls Boulder Bases. Along the road surrounding the tennis courts, we started at one corner (1st base) doing rock exercises of 10 clean/squat/press, 10 curls for the girls, 10 lunges, and 10 rut rows. Rifle carried our rocks to 2nd base and dropped them before doing body-weight exercises at each base: 5 burpees at 2nd base, 5 burpees + 10 merkins at 3rd base, 5 burpees+ 10 merkins + 15 big boy situps at “home plate,” and 5 burpees + 10 merkins + 15 big boys + 20 squats at 1st base. From there, we moseyed to 2nd base to do another round of rock exercises. Then we rifle carried the rocks to 3rd base. We carried on this routine until we could get the rocks to “home plate”. We changed up the body-weight exercises throughout, but kept the same structure.

Mary: No time

Announcements: F3 SouthWake meeting on Tuesday, Bass Lake Park.

T-Claps (Recognition):

Prayer: Prayers up for men struggling in their marriages and relationships.
