A bunch of good guys showed this am thankfully. We had a few for EC. Balljoint and I had our respective Q’s, and it makes me smile when we have a good crowd. I can’t ever roll into this lot without thinking about how all this started and the MANY guys that both got this F3 thing off the ground and continue to keep us in the air.
We started with a disclaimer then warmup which included modified gravel pickers. Even if you were there it didn’t really make sense….
We split up with bootcampers with me and painlabbers with Balljoint. I think they went to Panera and drank coffee for awhile…whatever.
We moseyed into the woods past the farm (sweet smell in the air) to the bottom of the hill. We’ve got the Mortimer coming up in 3 months and I guess I need to start preparing for it. We did “Elevens” on the hill so I called them “Hillevens” which I am certain really impressed everyone with my cleverness (as usual). The 2 young pax (Prius and Band Camp) were in awe of my cleverness. Clearly they both grew up in boring homes with no humor or cleverness. We did jump squats at the top and Merkins at the bottom. Next we moseyed to the pond. One day I may jump in that pond, but today was not that day. We tried a little Indian Run thing. Pax 1 drops down and does Merkins while the rest of the Pax run around the pond. When the group gets back to Pax 1 doing Merkins, Pax 2 drops down and starts doing Merkins, Pax 1 falls in at end of line of remaining pax and the group circles the pond again. Repeat until all have done Merkins. This would be better with like 3, maybe 4 pax (we had 10). It got old REALLY QUICKLY so we modified and multiple pax dropped down to do Merkins at a time so we could get thru this quicker. I shared some wise sayings at this point. I believe the quote was from Confucius and something about violence, nutsacks, and mosquitos (shoulda been there). We moseyed back to bottom of hill then Nurred back up to the top. Shortsale struggled to keep it on the 50 foot wide path, but thankfully there were some experienced pax to help him. It’s ok guys, he’s new and needs some direction every now and then. We got to the top in time to see the painlabbers returning from their trip to Panera so we saluted them with some Monkey Humpers. Why???? Because those monkeys aren’t going to hump themselves. We moseyed on to the side/almost front of the Schiele and as we stopped by the wall, I counted no less than 5 different sets of eye rolls. (long pause then a slow falling tear from my eye-cue the Indian on the 1970’s commercial when he is riding his horse and sees all the trash and litter everywhere). Yes, we are going to do some hip slappers DAMMITTTTTTTTT!!!! We only did a couple sets with some wall sits for (I think) 15 seconds. In my head I was thinking “these guys love Hip Slappers but they just don’t know how to tell me. The eye rolls were probably them just thinking about how to tell me how much they love them.” MFers….bitches……oops, was that out loud????
We moseyed over to the library and dodged the early voting peeps. Once we got to the parking lot, we lined up this way. We moved our arms another way. Then we lined up that way. Then the instructions were given: burpee long jump across the lot. 3 long jumps then burpee, repeat until I get tired. This did not take too long then we lunged the rest of the way. At one point there was a 30 something year old smoking hot Sports Illustrated model that drove thru the lot for early voting and paused to check out Spiderman and his 8 (or was it 9) legs. Insert guttural growl at this point. It was clearly more than just a passing glance. #callmelaterspidey
Short mosey to another part of parking lot, partner up. Partners pick exercise for all other pax to do while the 2 partners run up the steps, 3 burpees, run back to join the pax. The next set of partners repeats the process but gets to pick new exercise for the other pax to do. Again, got old really quick. We moseyed to another part of the lot (are we finished yet??????) for some suicides. I offered to let one of the pax pick the exercise-I didn’t like that exercise so that pax was kicked off the island and I asked another pax and got a better, scratch that, less bad option. Suicides in the parking lot with 5 imperial walkers every time you get back to start. THIS. WENT. ON. FOREVER. We used a longer part of the lot than I originally planned. Why? Because I heart a certain unnamed pax whose name rhymes with Snortpail say something about this probably not being on my original Weinke. Of course it was not on my original Weinke! Why would it be? So I figured I would torture all of us just for the heck of it. (is it over yet??????)
At this point I think it was almost noon so we moseyed back to start with a quick stop by the wall for some Dirty Hookups and wall sits. I think I fell asleep during some of this then woke up with time to get back to start for some Mary then finished with COT.
I’d like to thank Ballsack for his reminder to say the pledge, however I would like it noted that we said the pledge when I damn well wanted to and not when he reminded me. I also went backwards then forwards with the namorama just because I wanted to irritate at least 10 guys. You’re welcome.
We had some announcements: Extinction run, Community Foundation run with chariots, and a few others.
Prayers for a few pax family members as well as Turtleman and Huck. Proud of you guys for pushing thru your issues and trying to be the best man you can be-we all have issues and struggle from time to time. Just make sure to keep getting up every time you fall down. We are here to help-just have to ask or keep showing up so we can help you thru it.
Good group for coffeteeria at Panera.
thanks again for posting this am and letting me Q-
whoopee
