Peeling the layers of the onion

Skidmark was scared so he did the right thing by not posting in the gloom- Midget has been at this f-3 thing for almost 4 yrs now and 1st time been consistent with exercise. Thanks for this great group of guys that keep me motivated, engaged and accountable.

Pax of 20 showed up and Flanagan was looking for an easy Q by Dumbo but was told by UTI that Midget had the Q.
Disclaimer was read.

FNGs: Welcome Tetanus!

EC: M4L, Yellow Card, Emeril, Pikachu, Dawgpound, Cowboy, Pablo and Dumbo (rolled in hot at 0517 due to too much bourbon)

Warm Up: There was none.

The Workout: We took off right on time and carried on where we left on Saturday(Whiplash). Stopped at the first turn off at Ting and divided into groups of 4 for Indian Runs. 9 burpees were performed while PAX got in the 4 man Indian group. The goal today was to get to know the small group and what kind of impact f-3 was making in their everyday life. Each time we stopped, until we came to main event ‘Arctic cooler’, we did 10/10/5 (squats/hand release merkins/ burpees). There were 5 stops along the way.

We lost Dumbo and t-claps to Lipstick for staying with dumbo (too much vacation bourbon).

Main event was a 0.41 loop where 2 guys go in opposite directions and perform patty cake merkins when they meet. We did this until 6:17. Chips / Yellow card/ Banaseat/ Poponski called a few Ab exercises while we waited on the 6th.
