A Rush to 45

/in , /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , ,

I proudly was site Q for Disney for more than a year “back in the day”.  It was a valued part of my F3 experience. No better way to start my 45th year with a trip back to pick up the Q.  It was cold.  Rolled up for EC with a group of me plus 4 guys I am proud to say I have covered a lot of miles with. Went back to one of my favorites from the F3 exercise list, The Red Barchetta, a workout in honor of the classic Canadian rock song by Rush.  Done this twice before and shared the story, so today we just stuck to minimal chatter and put in the work.  It was a great group of 13 PAX.

FNGs: Are there any left in South Wake?  Seems like a long time since I have seen a new name.
Warm Up: We did.  We had “The Dark Side of the Moon” lined up around half the circle.  I missed the memo about wearing all black.  Standard loop around the soccer fields, then some classic w/u exercises in the lot including one that I famously introduced at Disney a couple years ago, the Goof Ball, and a few SSH because if you have ever been to a Nemo Q you know they will make an appearance.
The Workout: Out on the field we took a spot on the line.  100 yard run across field, plank hold for the six, then SSH ICx100, recover on the jog back. 75 yard run, plank hold, Mountain Climbers ICx75, recover on jog back.  50 yard run, plank hold for six, LBCs ICx50, recover on jog back.  25 yard run, plank hold for six, tempo merkins ICx25, recover on jog back. 10 yard run, plank hold, burpees x10, recover on jog back. This is a different type of workout as the focus is on heartrate and I make sure to include the total cadence so we know, for example, we are about to do 100 SSH.  We wrapped up with another lap around the soccer fields and then hit the wall on the bath house (many other options for what I could call it were provided) and we did alternating sets BTTW and star jumps.  10 count, 15, 20 and the group was looking strong so went to 25.
Mary: A couple quick sets Homer to Marge, 6 hold, low slow flutter, 6 hold, pickle pounders, LBCs.  Closed with LBC ICx45
Announcements: After name-o I counted to our six PAX and Tetanus talked about how he came out to F3 (thanks UTI for another Woodcreeker) how he got his name and what he has been getting out of F3.   Slack has you covered, Pinehurst convergence, new kettlebell AO
T-Claps (Recognition): Deadbolt, was great to see you out there this morning – you introduced me to F3 and you passed the torch at Disney to me when I became site Q.  Everyone for posting this morning in the cold, you are all difference makers.  Also, just thankful for the opportunity to see so many of us setting stretch goals and then getting to appreciate the reward – no matter what the finish line is.  Maybe it’s a full marathon, or maybe it’s just focusing on taking small steps to improve the important relationships in our lives.
Prayer: Racers/ruckers this weekend, those dealing with injury.  Took a silent 10 count for any unspoken and YHC took us out.

EC: Redenbacher, U.T.I.

FNGs: Negative…must have been in the fart sack with Aquaman and Doc while the celebrity Q upped the game at Womble…..difficult is not for everyone.

Warm Up: 12X SSH, 12 X Daisy Pickers, all exercises in cadence. Discussed the route quickly and headed out.

The Workout: We aim to please at R4TJ and welcome PAX of all paces so we had a 3 mile and modified 5 mile route available this morning. The 3 mile route was an out and back from Ting to the Jones Park entrance on Holly Springs Road. The modified 5 mile route continued through Jones Park along the Greenway to Wellspring Drive, left on Anchor Creek Drive, and back to Ting.

FNGs: Not today!

EC: Dumbo & Emeril

Warm Up: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Bat Wings (Arm circles F/R, seal claps, overhead claps)

The Workout: Mosey through the dark to the abyss. The PAX were nervous to run through the dark based on the mumble chatter but YHC had a plan. Partner up at the top of the stairs. Partner 2 holds Partner 1’s legs. Partner 1 does 5 dirkins then Partner 2 does 5 squats. 3 sets of this and then switch positions. 2 complete rounds are done. Now I can see clearly for some stair work. Partner 1 goes down the stairs and back up while partner 2 does a plank exercise. 3 rounds are done with mountain climbers, plank jacks and plank hold. Indian run to the football stadium.

Starting at the entrance to the stadium, Russian dips followed by balls to the wall and then another round of Russian dips. YHC did this because Thang 1 didn’t take long enough and the PAX noticed! Next we did 3-4 loops on the stairs doing 5 burbees at the bottom of the stairs, 10 big boy sit ups at the top and 15 jump squats at the bottom of the second stairs. On the Indian run back to the flag we stopped for a set of people’s chair.

Mary: Each PAX called an exercise – Homer to Marge, floor wipers, LBC, Freddy Mercuries and something else I can’t remember

The Workout: YHC attempted to wrangle everyone for warmup. After warmup and a haphazard name-o-rama, it was apparent people were rarin’ to go. So YHC released the reins and PAX were off. A few PAX were running 5/5+ and finishing back at Starbucks while others continued across 55, up Library Hill to Pace Yourself’s grand opening.
