PAX: , , , , , , ,

It was a week of transitions for F3 AOs and Thunder was the latest as Pikachu and Buttjoint turned the AO over to Crosby and John Deere. It won’t get easier, you’ll just get stronger. 8 men posted to send Buttjoint out in style and Buttjoint delivered. Now if he could post in the gloom again. If you’ve never posted at Thunder give it a shot. Love how this workout has a completely different feel compared to the gloom.

Warm Up: Mosey from the tennis court to the open field. SSH, 10 burpees, IW, 9 burpees, Fozio arm circles, 8 burpees, Chanooks, 7 burpees, merkins, 6 burpees, something else, 5 burpees

The Workout: Mosey around the baseball field to the back side. Partner up and broken wheel barrow along the side walk to the baseball statue guy. Switch partner and finish at the concession stand. Three sets alternating balls to the wall and preacher chair.

Mosey to the playground. Stay with partner. One partner doing pull ups and the other doing box jumps. Group did 50 pull ups combined. Group was joined by skidmark’s 2.0 for some box jumps and skidmark completed a round of box jumps holding a baby doll at his daughter’s request.

Mosey to tennis courts. Stay with partner. One partner is doing suicides and the other is doing Al Gore Tree Huggers. Rinse and Repeat.

Mary: I’m pretty sure there were some diamond merkins in here somewhere. 3 count around the circle under the pavillion as we were kicked off the court due to lightning. Not because we placed our balls on the fence or that there was a giant sign that said courts closed.

Announcements: The Odyssey 10/20/18 CSAUP in Apex. Shredder doing self defense class at North State Sport and Spine. Beer Mile 10/13 at CBC. UTI looking for runners for Tuna Run

Prayer: Much thanks to Buttjoint for his leadership over the past year and the impact he has had on many men.

An intimate group of 8 converged under thunder and lightning for the weekly beatdown. As promised very little running.

Warm Up: Mosey to the rock pile to gather a rock of choice. Some heavier than others. Due to the minor probability of getting struck by lightning, the pax reconvened under the shelter. 25 SSH, 15 Cotton pickers, fozio arm circles forward and reverse, and hillbillies
The Workout: Rotated through 4 exercises all with rocks: Presses, Rows, Squats, WWII’s using a full deck of cards. 4 jokers randomly paced in the deck signified a shift around the circle to another rock.

Burpee bullring: One pax calls out another with a race to 5 Burpees. Loser runs to the flags. Pax around the outside doing SSH.

Bear crawl drag race: Partner up by ability and bear crawl drag race to the end of the pavilion. Loser does 10 merkins. Next round winner vs. winner and loser vs. loser with 15 merkins to the loser. Last 2 undefeated racers faced each other for bear crawl drag racing champion and loser doing 20 merkins. Losers bracket also paired up so each pack got three passes. Congrats to Earl Grey the bear crawl champ. Holding plank as you waited your turn.
