The end of Plantation

We kept it simple today at Diablo Sammich.

Many times I have tried to find the end of the development behind Pelican’s.   Many times I have failed and when we reached a cul de sac, we did merkins to make up for it.

Wattsup and HIPAA once took me there and that distance plus a grueling pace made for a great workout

Last night, I swallowed my pride and looked it up online.  To get to the very very very very end, you just follow Plantation Rd/St all the way to the end.

That’s exactly what we did.  And it worked.  I was tired all day too!

Release The Kraken!

It’s been about six months since my last Q . I took some time away from F3 to focus on building muscle mass in the gym.But I’ve done that as long as I cared to, it’s time to get lean for summertime and what better way than boot camp with those hammers at Folsom. I sure was missing my F3 brothers and pumped to get back in the gloom with them and shed a few pounds. I’ve been back at it about a month now and I’m getting some endurance back,so I was itching to lead a workout so I pounced on the first one I could at Folsom here’s what went down.

warm up: ssh,gravel pickers,mnc,bolt 45’s,merkins,mountain climbers all x10 IC

mosey to flag stopping at each light pole on the way for 3 kraken burpees

we pledged it up

mosey to horse track for 11’s dips and rows

burpee Indian run back to far shelter sparky showed up at some point I think it was after the kraken burpees….. convenient

had more fun stuff planned but it’ll have to wait for another day.

Thanks for the chance to lead this morning men  I’m glad to be back.we’re stronger together no doubt!

Six years ago I took the whim and was EHed by Sargento and headed to The Storm where Whoopie was on Q.  After the FREE workout, I enjoyed the fellowship and was given the name of RADAR, which could be worse seeing some of the names before and after.

So seeing that my F3 Anniversary fell on March 29 at the same AO, I started I stole the Q from Dr. Seuss via Slack and decided to do lead the workout.

Seeing a FNG, I gave a disclaimer and then we went on a run behind the school, and then circled up in the round about.

WARM UP:
Windmill x 10 IC
Imperial Squat Walker x 10 IC
SSH x 20 IC
