Being that this was Tiny Tank’s last F3 workout as a resident of Gaston County, I wanted to pay homage to him.  Or, as Wheezy would put it, do this in his memory.  So I tried to do some of the things we’ve become accustomed to during Tiny Tank’s Qs.

We started promptly at 0530.  No warmup, as is typical with a Tiny Tank beatdown.  Batan Death March out to the main road.  Basically an indian run where the last man drops and does 5 merkins before running to the front of the line.

We moseyed to the front of the school for the main part of the workout – The Accumulator.  Here’s the way it works; do exercise 1 for 60 seconds, then 30 seconds of rest.  Do exercise 2 for 60 seconds, exercise 1 for 60 seconds, then 30 seconds of rest.  Do exercise 3 for 60 seconds, exercise 2 for 60 seconds, exercise 1 for 60 seconds, then 30 seconds of rest…

Exercise 1 – burpees
Exercise 2 – squats
Exercise 3 – merkins
Exercise 4 – crunchy frogs
Exercise 5 – SSHs
Exercise 6 – shoulder taps
Exercise 7 – CDDs

During the 30 seconds of rest each pax took turns telling 2 truths and a lie.  We learned YHC did not work at a pet grooming boutique shop, Gilligan left a date at Waffle House, Dr Suess likes going to presidential libraries, Tiny Tank visited 20 countries while in Germany (I still don’t know how that’s possible), Tesla is bothered when other’s put themselves first and Dolph never played football.

I Omahaed and cut out a few exercises on the last set of The Accumulator so that we had enough time to do the last thing.

We did a slow mosey around the parking lot and I chanted an Airborne Ranger song I knew and they chanted back.  That took all of about 30 seconds, so Dolph, Tiny Tank and Tesla picked me up with some running chants they knew.  We circled back to the flag to finish the workout.
