Apollo 300 Mission

I have had the good fortune of Q’ing a bootcamp on my birthday the last few years.   My birthday this year fell on a Sunday so I took the Saturday before.

There was an FNG for Painlab so we had a quick disclaimer before a short warm up:

SSH X 15 IC (That was enough)

Rockabilly took the Painlab group and YHC took 7 with me for a bootcamp.

The Thang

We moseyed to the back of the Library to start the Apollo 300 Mission:

This will be my 49th birthday, today is the 201st day of the year and it is also the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.  49 + 201 + 50 = 300 reps of something….at least that’s the logic I used to come up with the number 300.  Let’s do this.

Partner Up for some Mission 300 work:

Partner 1 runs from the lower parking lot up the stairs to the back door of the library and does 10 Merkins; partner 2 is doing AMRAP exercises as follows:

Round 1

AMRAP LBC’s – 10 Merkins at the top

Perform 5 times each person

Round 2

AMRAP Squats – 10 Merkins at the top

Perform 5 times each person

Round 3

AMRAP Flutter Kicks – 10 Merkins at the top

Perform 5 times each person

25 Merkins

Mosey to the track at Grier some OYO work:

Start with 25 OYO Merkins.

10 Lunges – 10 Merkins

5 times total

Mosey to far end of the track

Rinse-Repeat

Mosey to far end of the track and on to the picnic table area for some final IC work:

Dips X 10

Freddy Mercury’s X 20

Rinse-Repeat

Mosey back to the Flag to finish up with some short Mary:

Freddy Mercury’s IC X 50

Slaw with some Michael Phelps IC X 15

First Presbyterian bells ringing.  We were done.

Pledge.

Announcements.  Prayer requests.  Name-o-Rama.  Named FNG – Professor.

6 for Coffeeteria at Union Diner.

The Moleskin

If wondering, it was 300 Merkins and a load of reps of several other exercises.

Thanks for helping me celebrate my birthday weekend.  Thanks for enduring my logic to get to 300.  F3 and you men have meant more to me than you will ever know.

Until the next one.

See you in the gloom.  Aye!
