Back in the Saddle

It was the first day for F3 Dads in our region in a while and somebody had to make sure punishment was inflicted at The Fighting Yank. YHC was happy to take the point on this version. It had been a while since YHC Qed the Yank. What to do, what to do? This is what happened…

A strong group of 10 was gathered at the edge of Stowe Park, still a good showing considering there were 50+ at the Dads event. Boudin had the helm for The Bunker but when asked who was staying for that or who wanted to move a lot, no one opted for the staying part so we’re all in this together.

Warmup – Don Quixote’s x5 IC

Mosey to the amphitheater for a round of Merkin Jacks. 1 Merkin, 4 Plank Jacks. Request for one of the core principals. 2 Merkins, 8 Plank Jacks and another core principal, etc. up to 5 Merkins and 20 Plank Jacks and we covered all the core principals.

Mosey from there to the front of the old middle school for some Growing Pains. On your 6 for 30 LBCs IC, 30 Big Boy Situps IC and 30 Supermans IC. YHC also introduced Sister Act to the east side men who weren’t familiar with him. You know, just in case.

Head down the road to Davis Park where the Belmont Raiders Optomist practices football teams practice. The scouting report from before the beatdown showed the gate to be unlocked so we headed to the long grassy stretch for the Thang.

Santa Ladder – Line up at one end of the field and do 10 burpees. Run to the other end for 1 Merkin. Run back to the other end and do 9 Burpees, run to the other end for 2 Merkins. We repeated this alternating sequence until we got to the middle because Sister Act stated that he had to leave. At this point, we did the all too rare mid-beatdown Naomorama so that SA could show his face. Back to the session, this time switching around for 1 burpee and 10 merkins. Alternate 2 burpees and 9 merkins, etc until we got to the middle again and we did all the reps. This was a gasser!

Mosey toward the exit but on the way YHC needed to visit the restroom to answer nature’s call. Boudin took the helm for a couple minutes while business was tended to. In no time the deed was done and we were back onto the mosey trail to the next location.

At 1st Presbyterian, the last routine in store for the PAX was a little Dora 123. Partner up and do 100 Derkins, 150 Dips and 200 Dying Cockroaches. Partner 2 runs around the median and then switch. We finished this up pretty quick so we headed to the back of the middle school.

Here we did OPP against the back wall. Partner 1 did wall sits with overhead claps and partner 2 did 20 Peter Parkers. We only had time to get in one round of this before we headed to the Yank statue for the Pledge of Allegiance and COT.

Thanks to Gavel for the opprortunity to lead today and to the HIM for showing up! AYE!!!
