YHC made my triumphant return as the Q at Paradise City this 55 degree comfortable morning. About 7-8 showed for Extra Credit with Pikachu and Skidmark leaving early to get in the extra mile (nice work). great pick ups on the EC run of this 6. Returned after EC to see a large gathering in the parking lot which looked great! We had a visitor from F3 Chartlotte in town – more on that at the COT
FNGs: None
Warm Up: A quick lap around the parking lot and then circled up
The Workout:
We did the Spartan 500 with running a 0.25 mile in between each sets. Partner up with a man of similar speed but that can push you. Do the set of 50 exercises at opposite corners with your partner. See image below for details.
Goal was to do this 10 times or 5 laps. T claps to (at least) Pikachu, Skidmark and 187 for finishing all 10! I think most of the rest got 8 so a spartan 400!
Mary:
The lead pair got back to the Basketball courts a little early and led group in ab exercises. YHC arrived and closed out mary with a 5 count around the horn holding 6 inch leg lifts.

The Workout:
Mosey behind the Hunt Center and down to the Pit. PAX counted off into 2 groups.
Group 1 did 1 WWII and ran up big hill for 1 merkin. Then 2 WWI+2 merkins.
Group 2 ran the 4 corners of the soccer field stopping at each corner for 10 merkins and 10 WWIIs.
then switch.
After 1 round Group 1 continued their count on the hill with squats and box cutters while group 2 took another lap around the field with 10 squats and 10 box cutters at each corner.
Mosey over to the playground. Poopeater nearly caught a cute bunny, but it was much too fast.
Partner 1 hangs from playground bar while partner runs to corner of parking lot and back and switch.
This was the warm-up for a hang contest. 1st partner hung on bar for time while other partner held chill cut plank.
1st group was won by 187 hanging for just over a minute.
2nd group had Pikachu holding for 1 minute while Hardy and Warbucks held strong. YHC could have done this all day, but we had to get to Mary.
So your challenge rankings looked like this.
1. Hardy
T2. Warbucks – 187
4. Pikachu
T5. All other challengers
Hardy, Warbucks, 187, are not in May challenge. So your favorite 4th place Pokemon took home the Q for U-Turn. Not without some saltiness from some PAX.
Mosey back to the flag.

Moseyed to the playgrounds. This became complicated. Note to self. This is not easy to explain.
Split up into 2 groups. The pax went around the circle. Pax will hold plank. Pax in the back will Burpee and bear crawl to the front. When we got to the fence we did 5 each leg Bulgarian squats. I will think about how I can improve this workout.

During announcements I closed encouraging everyone to reach out to someone within F3 that may be dealing with an injury or just flat out hasn’t posted to an AO in a while. I told Saturday’s U-Turn PAX during the month of April I was personally dealing with a toe sprain and I hadn’t posted nearly as much as I would’ve liked to. Weekends are usually my only time to post at all during the week and I had missed U-Turn and AGS for 2 weeks straight. It didn’t take long for me to feel disconnected and somewhat distant from my fellow F3 brothers (both because I hadn’t seen anyone in a while and I had also lost some of my stamina/endurance). I can only imagine how a long term injury or a long period of time off (for whatever reason) may lead to a PAX feeling embarrassed or shameful to come back and post. Although we would never shame anyone and we always welcome any man to any workout at anytime I feel its important that we make an effort to reach out to a fellow F3 member that we know is injured, dealing with another issue, or just haven’t seen in a while. Sometimes a little encouragement can go a long way.
FNGs: none today
Warm Up: quick mosey, 10x Windmills, 10x Daisy Pickers, 10x Imperial Walkers, 10x Frankensteins, 25x-30x Merkins
The Workout: standard U-Turn in reverse (6mi option or 3mi option). By far an easier route than standard U-Turn due to less hills/elevation.
Mary: ran outta time
Announcements: congrats to Sprinkler’s son graduating high-school! Upcoming Grasshopper 5K run, 5K walk, & 1mi fun run benefiting Sergeant Rick Leach Sat June 12 here in Holly Springs. Bed build June 12th. May challenge continues…
T-Claps (Recognition): Picking up the 6 as always
Prayer: 11yr old recently involved in dirtbike accident, injured PAX, well being of F3 Friar Tuck and family upcoming move to TX
FNGs: None
Warm Up: None, already warm from the EC or Ruck EC’ers
The Workout: Sprinkler led the rucking crew out for over 3 miles. YHC took the remainder of the PAX on a mosey down to the Lake and up Bass Lake Rd. Lots of complaining this morning on the route…Maybelline was particularly salty that YHC didn’t venture too far off from the normal AGS route, however, YHC hadn’t been at AGS all year, so it was new to him :). Great work by all today, picking up the six and general banter and mumble chatter. YHC closed with the count and announcements, moving to prayer, he was reminded by Pikachu that he had yet to do name o’rama…we all forget sometimes, right? Closed with prayer requests and then pledge of allegiance. YHC was informed by POTS that May is Military Appreciation Month, so I recommend all Q’s to say the pledge post COT to close as a great reminder of the men and women who have served and continue to serve our nation everyday.
Announcements: Sleep in Heavenly Peace opportunity to serve
T-Claps (Recognition): Bobby Boucher for hard work and determination!
Prayer: all injured PAX, Hudson Grumaer (11 year old in the hospital), military/first responders, spoken/unspoken
