The morning started out beautifully, as Sargento and I met for a short mosey prior to the workout, which is our usual custom. After finishing at about 645, we took a few minutes to prepare for my a solo Q. As we recovered, 8 idiots decided to joint us for what I hoped would be a fun Saturday morning beat down at the Yank
As most of you know, I have a general predilection towards workouts that involve running. Not today, however, as, unfortunately for me and the group, ToolTime (who will be referred to from this point forward as Mr. Time) and I had gone on a mosey the week before and had a long discussion about suffering well. In order to suffer well, I reviewed all 17 pages of exercises on the F3 website in order to find the workouts that would cause me the most suffering (basically, I tried to choose exercises that Dolph would like
Disclaimer
Warm-up (IC) (not really suffering, but I needed something a little less difficult to start)
SSH x 15
LBC x 15
Don Quixote x 10 (suffering for Mr. Time, who was Fartsacking, apparently)
Squat x 10
Short jog up to the Track
The THANG- In my attempt to suffer as much as possible, “The DAB” was chosen from the work-up, The work-out was supposed to be 10 burpees in 1 minute x 5, then mosey around the track. Repeat for a total of 20 minutes of burpees and approximately 1 mile of running.
3 minutes in, FNG Nightcap appeared as if he needed to Merlot and was laying flat on his back. I suspect FNG Norwood was wondering what he had gotten into. Yours truly was already starting to get nauseated. Mumble chatter was at a minimum (Paging Mr. Time!!!).
Seeing that this was not going to work well, I decided to OMAHA and intersperse the Burpees with Squats. Not sure if it was actually better, but it made me feel better. We ended up doing 130 burpees in a period of about 30 minutes (good work, men!)
After a short Mosey back down the hill to the fountain, we spread out and engaged in several exercises for 1 minute (OYO) with 30 seconds of rest in-between. The exercises were as follows: Slow squats, Merkins, Flutter Kicks, Crunchy Frog (my back cracked in places that I didn’t even know could crack), and Monkey Humpers. Thankfully, we did not get thru the entire list of exercises that I had prepared (guess I’ll have to bring them back later)
Short mosey back to the flag

Boudin and Sargento then joined me for breakfast afterwards at Cherubs.
It was a pleasure to exercise with all you men and suffer with you this Saturday morning
