Flags for Heroā€™s at TS

YHC picked up the Q last minute for Tequila Sunrise. Primarily bc I need to be running more to get back in running condition. The route had us stopping mid way for a pledge to all the flags at the FVPD. We also did 22 merkins in support of mission 22. Then finished up back at Flemming playground for 20 pull-ups.

Fumunga took us out in prayer.

Nice sweaty morning running fellas!

Smedium Rocks around the Cricle

Another great day for F3 where Iron Sharpens Iron! The weather was top notch and visibility was clear. I love this time of year!

U.T.I. brought his 2.0 HeatWave and we had a few EC Ruckers join us right before the start.

Warm Up:

All Warm UpsĀ  ā€“ x 10

  • Good morning
  • Stetched
  • Side Straddle Hop
  • Sir Fazio Arm Circles
  • Hill Billies
  • Imperial Walkers

The Workout:

We mossied down to the rock pile behind the soccer fields and grabbed 2 smedium rocks. We then ran back up to the soccer fields and gathered around the half field line circle. Excises with the rocks were as follows:

  • Curls for the girls (x10)
  • Plank slides with one rock (x20)
  • Butterflies (x10)
  • Backward lunge (x10)
  • Rock Hallelujah’s (x10)

Ran back down the hill behind the fields and returned the rocks. We then mossied over to the Abyss.

Partnered up… 1 guy did LBC’s while the other took to the stairs and knocked out 20 Air Squats. We did 2 rounds of this and then headed back to the parking lot where we only had time for one more exercise which was Homer to Marge!

Announcements: Get CPR certified because you never know when it might come in handy. It has saved lives in F3 and other athletic activities here in town.

Jellybeans set the tone

On my way to the AO, as I continued to work through the details of the workout in my head, I turned onto Holly Springs Rd and was coming up on my turn into Jones Park. Ahead of me, the silhouette of a HIM crossing Holly Springs Rd; Regal, Majestic, Patriotic; this HIMĀ  (later identified as Jellybeans) was rucking to the AO for the workout, with his Shovel Flag in tow, backlit by the light of dawn.Ā  A sight to see, an inspiration to those around him, a proud member of F3. For me, this certainly set the tone for the morning.Ā

That smell

FNGs: none

Warm Up: SSH, daisy pickers, Willy Mays hays, Sir Fazio arm circles, chinooks, mountain climbers

The Workout:Ā 

Thing 1- PAX form two lines, each line possessed two soccer balls. At a jogging pace, the balls were thrown overhead to the pax behind, once at the back of the line that person sprints to the front to start the cycle again. Drops meant all pax stopped and performed 5 squats. ~1/2 mile loop around the park completed. We did a lot of squats.

Thing 2- Medium sized rocks were obtained and we made our way to the picnic shelter. Pax paired up for a music-based AMRAP/Dora style workout- one partner completed AMRAP exercises while the other partner cusacked their rock up a small hill and around a loop. When the song changed, the exercise changed (tricep extension, step ups, erkins, bicep curls). Skynyrd set the tone, and my free version of Spotify (like Lebron) blessed us with zero ads during the workout. Shoutout free Spotify.Ā 

All pax participated in an extended wall sit for the duration of Saturday Night Special. Some pax held out for the whole time, others gave it a break… something about running plans for the weekend. Near the end of the first verse a thicc odor spread like the plague from an unnamed pax, driving others to seek refuge elsewhere in the shelter. Pax were unpleased by the aroma, Q was unpleased because it didn’t happen during “That Smell”.Ā 

Mary: American hammer, WW1, plank hold
