Normageddon it! > Part 1

YHC has had the honor of being part of F3 for two years now and it is only fitting to celebrate with a week’s worth of Q’s (albeit somewhat disjointed).  This is just a small way to give something back to those who have given so much to me.

Thanks to all of you who have truly helped make this much “more than a workout” and created a great community of mutual encouragement and accountability. YHC is not only in the best physical shape I’ve been in since high school, but much healthier mentally and spiritually than when I started two years ago as well. Not to mention the great friendships that have been made along the way! Thanks for being there in the gloom and for the constant push. It is greatly needed and appreciated even more. Keep it up HIM!

The Workout:

4PAX completed “I Believe It’s Jogging…or Yogging…It’s a Soft ‘J’ Virtual 5K” (@LipSync, @RogerRoger, @Dauber, @Forceps).  7PAX completed the “standard route” of 5-6mi at AGS that I learned from @Mookie, which is leaving Womble, R on Stinson, R on Bass Lake, L on Salem Ridge, L on Linksland, R on Holly Springs Rd, L on Raleigh Rd, L on Grigsby, and follow Grigsby to the backside of Womble and enter the 2nd entrance back to Womble.  This ends up being around 6miles, give or take a little depending if you’re the “6” or you’re picking up the “6”.

When YHC and fellow 6PAX finished our 6mi jog, the 4PAX who completed the “Kind of a Big Deal” Virtual Run https://runsignup.com/irun2stayclassy were already in their T-shirt’s, wearing their medals, sipping cans of Coors light, and had already taken a memorable group picture with the classic AGS sunrise in the background (Photo available on Slack 1stf channel at 9:27am Sunday 8/30)

It was a beautiful day today and the humidity felt like half of what it was the morning prior…thank you to all of those who came out and joined.

Q-Duel Cletus – Sprinkler 1 year anniversary and the BIG 50!

EC:  Katniss, Boy George, Dahmer, Nemo, Norm, Flyby from Vasoline

FNGs: Welcome @Fanta
Warm Up:  Mosey to the far lot to keep the noise down a “little”.  10 X Fazio Arm circles FW & REV, 15X Overhead Claps, 10X Imperial Walkers, 10X Hillbillies, 20X SSH
The Workout:

It was a celebration week for Sprinkler.  He had his 1yr F3 anniversary this week and turned the big 50 today.  RESPECT!  What better way to celebrate than an F3 party!  41 STRONG today.  Nice showing F3Southwake, way to end the HS Q-Duel week!!!

Count off by 2’s and divide up.

1’s with Sprinkler and 2’s with YHC:

1’s stayed in place for Round 1 11’s , 2’s headed to the lot by the Rock Pile for Round 2 11’s

Well the plan is below, but since we split up I can’t speak for both groups.  I can say that there were a lot of bear crawls for the 2’s and a lot of modifying on the fly (for time!).  I heard group 1 got in a lot of Bear Crawls also and that was the main plan; so all went well.  The surprise for me was the Pavillion intermission which turned out to be a beast!  We had a Round 3 planned just in case, but not a chance on that one!  I’m sharing and saving the workout below because I would like to complete it as written sometime.  It’s a great start to a CASUP if you ask me!

We even had an FNG today.  Welcome Fanta, from San Diego and use to work for Pepsi!
