Prayer: Those travelling for Thanksgiving and those that can’t be with their families.  YHC took us out.

It was wet

/in /by

It was 38 degrees, raining, windy and just about T-48 hours to HSHM.  Would anyone show?  Could this make for the most desirable and legitimate fartsack of the year?  YHC was followed into the parking lot around 4:59, arriving a few mins early for EC, by Warbucks, who was at the ready to to keep the EC streak alive and well.  As we ran we talked about a reasonable over/under for number of PAX to post.  We settled in on 6 and in typical F3 South Wake fashion, the safe bet would have been the over.  We had 7 strong and the rain actually let up, only for a few minutes, for us to get in another solid workout at Disney.

Warm Up: Standard jog around the soccer fields with some puddle dodging then circled up for a quick round of standard w/u motions – SSH, Good Mornings, Fazio Arms.  Did not take long as conditions were going downhill and we wanted to be moving.
The Workout: After some confusion from me as I tried to remember the very simple workout I had planned, we realized why I wanted us to be over on the playground wall (I was struggling to remember my plans to work dips into the DORA).  We split up and the goal was half on the run down to the entrance and back up the hill into the headwind with other half working on 100 merkins, 200 dips, 300 LBCs.  We made this more of a hybrid OYO/AMRAP and just kept moving through the work and the run.  Pretty sure each did 8 runs, and pretty sure combined we all did more than our share of the work.
Mary: Ended early so we could have bonus time as Kid Cracker took us through an extended session of yoga and stretch with focus on HSHM prep.  Again, in the driving rain.  We huddled under the playground shelter and the actual shelter is still closed for fire repair, but it made no difference.
Announcements: HSHM, collections for Brnadon and his family
Prayer: Crablegs, those working through injuries, LabRat working to get his house sold, victims of the fires in CA.  YHC took us out in prayer and we headed for high ground.

HSHM

/in , /by

The morning was brisk but the sun was on the rise. All the work over the past few months went on display. PRs abound. All the Pax brought the A-Game. Injured ones battled through some pain or decided to ruck. All in all another fabulous showing by the F3 pax.

Warm Up: Deadbolt led warm up of SSH, IW, Hillbillies, Mountain Climbers, Frankensteins
The Workout: 13.1
Mary: Beer
Announcements:
Prayer: Thank you for the glorious day. For the pax that couldn’t be with us today. For all our servicemen. To help us be better leaders in the community.

HSHM Finish Line – Ramp Practice

/in /by

Warm Up:  Light jog to the base of the ramp, many many attempts to plant Lipstick’s shovel flag (it may be made of rubber), headed up the ramp to the HSHM starting line (carioca each side, Butt Kickers, High Knees).

The Workout:  As promised a 4 mile run.  Based on the rain there was an audible for running a well-lit and less slippery route so we threw out the HSHM route and went straight up Main St.  We did at least start and end as the HSHM will on Saturday, running from the starting line and around behind the tennis courts then out to Main.  On the return, we ran up the ramp to the finish line with the rubberized shovel flag in hand.  The gazelles of our R4TJ crew had the honor of meeting the remaining PAX at the bottom of the hill and running them up the ramp to glory.

Mary:  We don’t recognize Mary at R4TJ.  Just not our girl.

Announcements:

Prayer:  Nemo’s son is battling a bug that hasn’t been kicked in a couple of weeks.  Still working with doctors to figure it out.

Todays “Ting Climb” segment report for those that care 🙂  Pikachu still hold the overall title but for today…
