Day: August 9, 2020

So YHC and 16 pax showed to know in downtown Belmont in the humid gloom for a push to dink the buttermilk promised for breakfast. It id not disappoint. Went like this:

Form up by the park and mosey down behind Sammy’s for a COP warmup:

SSH X 20

IW X 20

Cotton Pickers X 20

Nolan Ryans X 10 each side.

Grapevine stretch

Mosey over to the now named Hamburger Hill at Hawthorne for some serious Dora – Hill work

Partner up!

Dora 1-2-3

HR Merkins – 100

Big Boy situps – 200

Squats  – 300

P1 – Up to the top of Hamburger hill and back.

P2 – Called exercise

Flapjack.

Got us to 7:30

Mosey back toward the AO.

Burpee suicides coming back.

Lunge two parking spaces forward. Nur back one. Drop down a burpee. Rinse and repeat until the end of the parking spots which was @ 10.

Got us to 7:40.

Mosey on over to the Field of Dreams for the 4th Quarter. Bear time! Bear Bryant. Bear Crawls.  Getting tougher when it’s late in the game, your tired and behind. Make the push!

New version of Bear Crawl Slalom. With 16-17 pax, it was time to make it competitive! And thus we did. Count off by twos. YHC took the 1s. Tiger the 2s. Goal was end of the field which meant at least three rolls per pax.  Three exhausting rolls. Loser gets 10 burpees. Winner gets to watch. It was as spirited and tough a 5 or so minute F3 experience YHC has ever had much less led. Saw real guts on display as the effort was fast and furious. So Q at the end called an Omaha. No losers. But 5 burpees for all. Seemed the right thing to do at the time. Sure was too!

Mosey over to Hearbreak Hill for a set of half pipes.

Top – 5 plank jacks

Pad – 5 merkins

Main street – 5 butt to the street Monkey Humpers.

2 sets. gets us to 7:55.

Reassmeble on the pad for pax led Mary. 1 pax calls move. Does 5 burpees while pax does called move. Went around the horn of 16 to finish it off. Had a little OT. Well worth it!

Pledge.

NMM:

Probably about as good as YHC can do for a lead. Most def a buttermilk day. Everyone got pounded pretty good. Again, it’s really all a lead up to the 4th quarter because that’s where you win or lose it, it being life itself. Just keep pushing it and making it happen. Bear Bryant said to his 1957 Texas A&M team (aka the Junction Boys) that winning wasn’t imperative. But getting tougher in the 4th quarter is. And that’s where we find ourselves today. So the question is do we fold and hope for better or push and make the present time an opportunity instead of a problem. It’s up to you. I find the times rather exciting myself. And living in interesting times is a gift. Newsflash: This is just the beginning. So do we lead and make it great or cower and let it overcome us. I choose leadership! Hope you do too. Make it happen! We’re here to help.
