THAT Hill at Prison Yard

FNGs: None
Warm Up: 10x Sir Fazios, 10x Windmills, 10x Good Mornings, 10x Torso Twists
The Workout:

Ran to THAT hill. On the way, we did dips until failure, plank until failure.

Raced up the hill via bear crawl, and then back down via crab walk (this sucked).

Sprinted up the hill, recovered around the other hill. Then bear crawled up the hill and lunge walked back down.

Ran back. On the way back, we did 25 irkins and 25 derkins.

Once back, we did an 80 count of Preacher’s Chair and an 80 count of BTTW.

Mary: Yoga
Announcements: Breach gave a good message on taking care of yourself (physically, mentally, spiritually), and taking a break when you need to. Good reminder in the middle of the challenge – don’t hurt yourself. Reach out to other guys when you need to.
T-Claps (Recognition): All 4 PAX from Team NB did EC and were the only ones at the AO. Nice work HIM!
Prayer: Stubs

Bakers Dozen for June Ultimate at Ting

5 June challengers did some EC to get max points to start the week of right (Cupid, LED, Sunshine, Fram and Breach)

A Baker’s dozen of running crazed warriors took the filed at Ting for the June challenge version of Ultimate

Cupid, LED, Fram, Wham-O, Roaming Knome, Gillette, Gump, Sunshine, UTI, Kubota, Yogurt, Cornholio, and Breach on the Q

Warm Up: 22 Counts of Side Straddle Hops, Frankensteins and some Good mornings to stretch those hamstrings.

The Workout: Ultimate, 3 merkins on the frisbee drop to start, then 3 Squats and a 10 count exercise for each score, we did some Side Straddle Hops, Merkins, Burpees, LBCs, Big Boy Situps, Hillbillies, Imperial walkers, and some Squats.

Mary: Learned a little more about Gump and found that his name has nothing to do with running

Announcements: 3 Alarm is doing better, we are going to take this week off but @Yogurt requested that we come back in force next week to bring his spirits up.

Prayer: Pray for us, a lot of shootings out there, we need to heal together as a country. Talk to your kids about an active shooter. They need to know what it is so they can be aware of the situation if it ever arises.

The Quay preview

YHC lead 6 men coming from all over the map in FV. We all met for a Tequila (early) Sunrise for a 5 mile route that included the start of Run the Quay that was starting shortly afterwards. Wild Turkey came running in at 0530 for some EC with YHC. Breach arrived by foot as well and the others made it before the 0600 start.

Quick circle warm up
Good Mornings
Frankensteins
SSH’s

We ran, we picked up the six, we chatted. Turkey and Breach peeled off to stay for the race around mile 3. Solo stretch on the return and ended in the circle of trust.

Prayers for sick kids of PAX and my M for sleep.

Great to lead on a beautiful morning to run.

Boulder work

FNGs: none
Warm Up: usual warm o rama with some surprise merkins
The Workout: Circle to with your rock and played survivor with a set of 5 exercises, 15 reps each, and a rotation sheet each exercise. Ruh rohs, curls, triceps extension, skull crushers, overhead press. The least favorite exercise (not PAX, that’s just hurtful) got voted off each round. Didn’t help that Fram choose a boulder.

Over to the dugout for some bar hangs. 6 saw who could hang the longest while the other 6 “cheered” them on doing amrap squats.

Mary: Popcorn Mary with some upper body stretches.
Announcements: June challenge, lipstick meal train, run the Quay
T-Claps (Recognition): 7 for EC. Great showing!

Recovery Burpees

YHC hadn’t posted in over a week and was dreading his own Q. But there is nothing like getting a Q in when your in a drought. Really appreciated 8 PAX who came out to celebrate my 3 years in F3. Boy George even skipped the gym to come out to the ME.

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Mosey to bottom of Red Trail, between the two hills.  Circle up for arm stretches, SSH and Frankenstein.
The Workout: Lucky 7’s.  Run up steepest hills on red trail. Stop at stairs on right side and knock out 7 merkins.  Run to the bottom and do  burpees. Run to flat spot where red trail symbol is posted on tree on the left side hill and do 7 squats.  Run to bottom and do 6 Burpees. Repeat until zero burpees.  Pick up 6 on completion.  We moseyed to bottom of old #18 and PAX had to run from bottom back to cars parked at top of hill.
Mary: Heel taps, Butterfly Crunch, Freddie Mercuries, Yoga poses.
Announcements: June Challenge

T-Claps:  Breach speaking at Memorial Day Service in Garner.  All that F3 has done in YHC’s life.
Prayer: Unspoken.

The Chute

Prison Yard broke out only to find a hill that repeatedly punished them. They call it “The Chute” on strava. Switching things up from circuit training or classic bootcamp, we punished our legs at today’s WOD. Here’s what we did.

Mosey down to lower lot for a warm up.
Good mornings x10 IC
SSH’s x20 IC
Frankensteins x10 IC
Copperhead Squats x10
Copperhead Merkins x10

Cross the street to the greenway that went a long ways and down. Roughly a qtr mile to the bottom of this long hill.
Long @$$ 7’s YHC called it.
Morning Wood at the top and 8 count Absolutions at the bottom
Indian run between so we can stay together.
We made it down easily the first time but on the way back up some guys started thinking “Is BS serious?”
We ended up getting 4 trips to the bottom before YHC called for a modification so the PAX would be able to walk that day.

We moseyed over to the front of the club house for some other fun.
Baby box jumps x20
Dips x10 IC
Dirkens x10
Rinse and Repeat

Gathered back at the flag for Mary. PAX went around the circle calling an exercise.
Finished up with a nice stretch.

Great work today from the PAX. Thanks for letting me lead such a strong group.

Bad form burpees according to the FV J. Larsen Creeper

FNGs: none

PAX: @Pumps, @Florence/Flojoe, @Warbucks, @Finkle, @Sprinkler, @Pots, @Sunshine, @Gamecock, @Martini
Warm Up: Mosey over to the basketball courts.  Followed by SSH 20 count in cadence, 10 walkouts, 10 good mornings in cadence, and imperial walkers 10 count cadence.
The Workout: I was a good boy last year, so Santa got me some new F3 toys to share.  We had 5 different stations and broke up into 2 teams of 5 and 4.  The stations were the “dice of death”, slam ball, jump rope, agility and sprints, and the battle rope.

While one group was the timer at the dice of death doing burpees, squat jumps, lbcs, SSH, and other various activities the other team was doing the other stations and then we would switch after three exercises were completed with the dice.  We did 4 rounds.  Little did we know that that morning in the gloom we would be come the talk of the town.  Apparently, our friend James Larsen videoed us doing burpees and wanted to give some critique on Facebook all the while it became a fantastic PR stud filled stunt for F3 in Fuquay.  It’s too bad we didn’t give them the full show with some pickle pounders and monkey humpers…James my friend, if video taping guys working out at 5:45 in the morning is your thing come back next week for some great footage!
Mary: Merry go round.  Thanks @sunshine for the monkey humper addition in cadence to 30 lol.
Announcements: Q source happening on Wednesday evenings at 6:45.  check slack for details.
T-Claps (Recognition): Special recognition to the Larsen Creeper for his award winning video footage.  https://fb.watch/amCz6mhtUj/
