This is what happens when my 2.0 Musicbox, aka Mac and I hit the road together and share plenty of windshield time.  We think of fun ways to punish our F3 pax.  Today, eleven HIM posted at The Yank for a 5K they never planned to run.  It went something like this.

Warm Up – SSH / Imp. Walker / Gravel Pickers x 15 IC.

Enough of that, time to break up into teams of three leaving out two of us who planned to walk instead of run.

Green Team = Buckshot, Pizza Man and Orangeman.

Black Team = Sargento, Tesla and Gavel

Red Team = Anchorman, CPAP and EhYall

Team Walk/ Referee = Norwood and BOS

Each team is handed a list of five points of interest around town, each stop includes 25 reps for each pax and instruction to pick something up and return with it in one piece before time expires at 0750.

First Baptist Church = 25 Dips.  Team colored raw eggs hidden on front steps.

First Presbyterian Church = 25 LBCs.  Eggs hidden in driveway island.

Park Street United Methodist Church = 25 Merkins. Eggs hidden in near benches and trees near entrance.

Lutheran Church of the Holy Comforter = 25 Burpees.  Eggs hidden behind sign.

The Point at Central & Main = 25 Monkey Humpers Eggs hidden near benches in flowerbed.

Q Note:  Since most of the stops were churches, “the point” caused a little confusion even though the streets listed were in the instructions.  In fairness there is a POINT church on Wilkinson.  I’ll accept the Q fail…

With eggs in hand the teams raced to the finish while Norwood and YHC walked part of the course.

Penalties were waiting at the finish for broken, missing and late eggs.  Here is how it ended.

Green Team 1st at 0733

Black Team 2nd at 0740

Red Team 3rd at 0742

Since we had time we completed the penalties.  25 American Hammers for a missing egg.  25 Flutters for a broken egg and 25 Merkins for a late egg.

With a few minutes left we completed a quick round of Jack Webb before heading back to the statue.
