I Think We’re Being Followed

7 HIMs were there for YHC’s inaugural Q at Old School for some work near the old school. Here’s what happened…

Pledge of Allegiance

Disclaimer- No FNGs, do what I say

Warmup – Goofballs IC, Don Quixotes IC, patented Right Over Left IC

There was a dude and a couple ladies getting ready to do some stuff near us so we moseyed around the track. Stop just short of a full lap and head onto the field. Omaha! The field was super dewey so get back on the track. Line up and do suicides to the first light pole, then the second, then all the way around the track to where we started. Good for getting the heart pumping!

Mosey toward the historic courthouse, stopping at Pizza Man’s for the obligatory Monkey Humpers, and stop at the entrance to the circle drive at the courthouse.

The Thang – Half Moon Action

Lunge walk the semicircle, do 10 Merkins at the end, bearcrawl the sidewalk then 20 LBCs. Just before we started we noticed the dude and ladies had driven down to the courthouse too. More on this later.

Next round, Karaoke the semicircle and lunge walk the sidewalk with merkins and LCBs as before.

This round Karaoke the other way and bearcrawl the sidewalk with more merkins and LBCs.

This time Skip the semicircle and regular walk the sidewalk. Merkins and LBCs.

Nur the semi, lungewalk the sidewalk. Merkins and LBCs.

This time run to the stairs, bearcrawl up and then down the stairs, sprint the sidewalk with Merkins and LBCs.

Last time, lunge walk halfway, bearcrawl halfway. Sprint the sidewalk with merkins and LBCs.

Slow mosey toward the Sammy’s side of the square for the best exercise for the location.

The Squerken – Partner up, Partner 1 gets in plank position while Partner 2 holds his ankle and waist level. In tandem, #1 does 10 merkins as #2 does squats. It was nasty. So nasty a few unnamed PAX refused to do the exercise.

Mosey back toward the start, stopping at Pizza’s again for more Monkey Humpers, this time with he, Tool Time and another guy back from their run. As we approached the starting place we got passed by the dude and his ladies again. Later the guys would EH him as required.

Back at the start we partnered up for the Dora 1, 2. Do 100 WWI situps and 200 CDD’s. Partner 2 runs around the median.

We had a few minutes left to do exercises each starting with the letters L-I-V-E-R-M-U-S-H. Yes, YHC made up this routine from scratch and it was full of crap but that’s ok, so is the real livermush. Time’s up! Thanks for the opportunity to lead men.

Prayer Requests – Sister Act’s family, Turtleman

Announcements – Ruck stuff, Need a replacement runner for the Bourbon Chase Relay in October. It’s the best relay YHC has done, definitely worth anyone’s time!

Tequila Sunrise 5/14/21

A light Friday crowd gathered at The Sunrise.  They were few but they were mighty.   YHC had been forced onto IR for a few weeks and it has been tough to get back at it.  Even though I wanted more movement I new it was best if I didn’t plan it that way.   So this is what we did.

Warm Up:

15 Each in Cadence

SSH / Grass Pickers / Imperial Walkers

Stretch Legs – Right over Left, Left over Right, Feet Together

Stretch Arm – Right & Left

15 Plank Jacks IC

Mosey to Tennis Courts for a little BEAR WITH ME

Usually this is on a football field.  Bear crawl ten yards, complete the exercise and repeat to the other end zone.   Since we were on tennis courts we crawled across two courts for 20 squats, crawled across two more for 20 LBCs.  On the return trip we crawled and completed 20 Merkins and 20 Flutters.  So much fun we did it twice.

Mosey back to the basketball court at the school and broke up into two teams for a jump rope challenge.

Two guys jump rope head to head while the remaining pax complete the selected exercise.  First to stop or get hung up in their jump rope pays a 5 Merkin penalty with their team.  Winning rope jumper picks the next exercise for the pax and new rope jumpers take over.  I can’t remember how many rounds we completed but remember we hit a lot of our F3 favorites.  Things I do remember.  None of us are very good at jumping rope.  Five dollar jump ropes and hardly worth five dollars.  We all had a good laugh with this circuit.

We finished up with a quick round of mary before we were out of time.

Prayers for Turtleman, SA and Family, Breaker’s Son and Daughter in law traveling, PAX on IR.

Pub Run

10 HIM were brave enough to come out for an absolutely beautiful morning and a quick run down Gaston Day to New Hope to Armstrong and back up Gaston Day.

Prayers:

SA daughter

Turtleman

Help Me Tom Cruise!

It was an honor to lead a solid group of HIMS at an AO I have only ever visited once.

Being the Ricky Bobby, the work was themed around the movie.

We started out with “shake and bake” dora.

We looped around the front of the school carrying brake rotors and completed:

  • 100 big boys
  • 200 merkins
  • 300 squats

We placed the brake rotors in the back of the truck and picked up a block and made our way to field for some “I am on fire sets”

While one partner ran around the field the other part did the follow with the blocks

  • Curls
  • Triceps
  • Presses
  • Squats

Time was running short, so we had to cut the “I am going to come at you like a spider monkey” short with only one bear crawl to the cone in the field.

We put the blocks up and moseyed back to start and wrapped up with a round of iron hulks.

We did the pledge and COT.

Prayer request

  • Turtleman
  • Sister Act
  • All spoken and unspoken prayers

HIM’s take the opportunity visit and  Q outside your home AO. F3 Gastonia is filled with many awesome HIMs. Get out and meet them.

 

 

 

 

Small Crowd for Crossroads

I rolled (literally, on my bike) into the parking lot this morning apparently unaware of the memo advising that not many HIMS planned to show this morning for Crossroads… must’ve been the Qs reputation!  Saw one truck I recognized (sorry Termite didn’t know you had gotten a camper shell, we need hook you up with Allen Tate for some extra F3 stickers) and Broke was out gettin some EC.  A few HIMS started to filter in and at 6:30 we launched.  We all reconvened back in the parking lot (congrats to Wirenut for finishing his 1st 5-miler) for announcements and COT then headed inside for QSource on Live Right.
