least a week, began to emanate throughout the Mary circle. For the first time in known F3

Mission Impossible @ Possum Trot

Warm Up: Run around the tennis courts to the snack shack.  20 SSH, 10 Good Mornings, 10 Cotton Pickers, 10 Fazios F/B, 10 HB, 10 IW, Left over Right and Back stretches.  Lined up on ramp, PAX executed 10 strides adding 1 burpee, continued until 5 burpees (5!) were met after alternating strides facing fence and then facing the RR tracks.  PAX continued up the ramp with window openings, Frankensteins and Butt kickers.  Mosey to parking lot to grab coupons.

The Workout:  PAX of 11 counted of by 3’s and formed three groups.  Q had four index cards each having a specific mission to accomplish by the PAX.   Missions were labeled A, B, C or D.   A group leader chose an index card.  Last group that chose a card, chose their coupon first from below.  Q reminded PAX to choose wisely.  Group then read each card with its specific mission.  Clarifying instructions were given by Q.  PAX began their individual mission as a covert unit.

Mission A:  200 LBC, 200 Merkins, 200 Squats.  PAX carry coupon around the outside (oops) of the tennis courts 4X.  PAX were told they could work together meeting their number of reps.  This group finished early and helped PAX on the tennis court with their mission.  PAX executed additional exercise including monkey humpers, pickle pounders, etc.

Mission C:  Not chosen.  Details saved for another adventure.

Mission D:  200 Starjumps, 200 Shoulder Taps, 200 BTTW in cadence.  PAX carry coupon around four corners of tennis courts.  At each corner, PAX dropped coupon, executed 1-4 burpees at each corner until completion.  PAX excited this 4X.  Some confusion re: executing reps individually or together.

Mission B:  200 Dips, 200 Leg-ups (alternating L/R), 200 Erkins.  PAX carried coupon from parking lot to snack shack and then back to the parking lot 4X.  This group decided to carry the coupon together resulting in needing more time to accomplish their mission.

The remaining PAX from Mission A and D joined their fellow operatives near the snack shack Mission B. helping them complete their mission.

Enthusiasm was very high so more exercises were added included  10 count dips and erkins.  Q had PAX mosey to the wall and performed the following exercises in 20 count cadence:  LBCs against the wall, arm chair and BTTW.  Rinse and repeat.  PAX grabbed all of the coupons and formed into their original mission groups.  Handed off the coupons to each member in their group while heading back up the ramp to the parking lot in a semi Indian run/walk.  Mission Accomplished.

Mary:  Q asked for any virgin Q support to help lead Mary.  Two PAX voulunteered (Modify and Beater) but Modify won out.  Modify lead us in Mary with the following 15 count core exercises:  Freddie Mercury, Homer to Marge, Box cutters, WWIIs, low slow Flutters, Winemakers.  Excellent job stepping up.  Being prepared and ready to step in is essential to leadership.

Announcements:  Messi (2.0) will Q again next Monday at Mutiny; F2 at Stick Boy

Prayer:  Ausfart, Double D’s wife and dad, Brexit’s friend who passed, spoken and unspoken.  Dovetail stepped up and lead us out in Prayer – Thank you!

W. Bush passing last week, PAX performed a total of 41 reps (10, 10, 10, 11) of the following rock exercises:  Rut-Ros, Curls, Tricep Curls, Squats.  PAX moved one space to the right before executing next exercise.  Once completed, PAX got on their six, knocked out 15 rock presses, 15 skull crushers and 15 Homer to Marge passing the rock to the right again before each exercise.  PAX John Cusack back to the rock pile and met up on the tennis courts. Lots of mumble chatter as Q forgot his left and right and pulled a Lipsync with his rep counts).

PAX and Q were spent.  Dauber asked Double D for a 10-count hold.  PAX knew they were in trouble when Double D went off count a few times.  (Must have been that new math)  It messed up the Q as he tried holding plank which looked more like a yoga move with his a$$ high in the air.  Recovered after a lengthy time.
