F3 Is Rain or Shine

Knowing the weather peoples were calling for rain and possible storms, YHC wasn’t too optimistic about the turnout at Folsom this morning. After all, a few of the regular PAX have just gone M.I.A. here lately. Anyway, I roll in a little early to assess the situation. It wasn’t until about 5:25 that headlights started pulling in. No rain as of yet and there’s a cool breeze. 5:30 hits.

mosey down and make a lap around the lower parking lot finishing up back at the tennis courts.

YHC calls out for 3 exercises recommendations. Considering I’m not really capable of performing shoulder exercises, I put the Q in the PAX hands. Mumblechatter immediately began about “how many…….what is it……etc “ I continued without clues of what was in mind, even though there was a pretty solid clue on Twitter last night. Exercises finally called, Burpees, LBCs, Sumo Squats.  Now, to get to the jist of it. Sparky had introduced 20-1 a while back using blocks. Rather brutal routine it was. I had a slightly different approach to it. We use the four corners of the tennis courts. 20 of each exercise at corner 1 then mosey to corner 2 for 19 each. You get the point, continue until you get down to 1 of each. Then the mumblechatter chatter got worse “I would’ve called something other than burpees, Bkah blah blah.” Anyway, all took off OYO. Some finished at 7, some finished at 9. Do what you can until Q calls time. After we hit corner 15, the rain hit. Some were saying They should’ve brought soap. Felt pretty good at first, then the downpour came. It lasted a good 15 minutes and was rather refreshing. Once all were nice and soaked I saw 6:14 on the dial so we mosey back to start.

YHC took us out in prayer

Glad to see Def Leppard out on a weekday morning at Folsom. Also glad the others who post weren’t afraid to get a little wet. I won’t call them out, but some messaged in afterwards to say “yeah, it was raining so I rolled back over and went back to sleep.” Way to push men who posted. I think the routine can be finished completely incorporating just 2 exercises or cutting out the warmup, but none-the-less, work was Did. Honor to Q as always.

12 PAX posted for another Pizza Man Q.  I had to wait a while for this one but I was finally able to get a Q again at Midoriyama which is a good problem to have.  It’s always great to see leadership within the PAX.  With that said, I went with a little different approach to the  wienke for this Q.  Most of you all know that I may like to run a little so usually there is some mosey during the workout but not tonight.  I pulled into Midoriyama and saw two HIMs (Sister Act and Blart) getting in some EC and some others having locker-room talk. (Which was great I might add)  17:30 rolls around and its time to begin…No FNGs and a short disclaimer emphasizing to modify as needed and to push yourselves.  I know this is a JV AO but do what you can.  At this point Tool Time takes off on his 5 mile solo run…great work brother!!!  Let’s Roll….

Warm-Up:

Way to push men…Now with that complete…we moseyed to the small soccer field for some more work.  It went like this:

5 Burpees

10 Bleacher Box Jumps

15 Merkins

20 Squats

25 Lunges

Rinse and Repeat 5 times

Once again…way to push men…with ending time approaching the PAX headed back to the flag for 22 for the VETS

Time!!
