It was a cold 31 degree morning.  Happy to report that is was dry and the stars were beautiful.  They gave us something to look at while doing all of those Big Boys.

7 HIMs showed to the Snoballs parking lot and where gathered around Lake Whoopeegonnagetcha on YHC’s arrival.  We moved to a drier location in the parking for our good morning salutations and greetings and left the lake front for another time.

Clavin had the flag planted upon arrival and it was now nearing 5:30am.  Time to get busy and make it worth our efforts to rise out of the fartsack like a Phoenix and enter the frozen gloom for the impending beatdown.

Pledge

Warmup:

SSH x 20 (double count)

20 mountain climbers (double count)

20 merkins (single count)

Mosey to the bank parking lot for a more effective warmup:

Triple Nickle– mountain climbers that side and squats this side x 5.  Much warmer now.

Mosey to the parking lot of the maintenance shed:

20 merkins

20 LBC’s

20 flutters (double count)

It was noticed that there may be several differing mathematical paths to count this.  This led to a discussion about how many legs to count and when to count them.  YHC threw out the veto Q card and defined “double count”.

Above x 15

Above x 10

Mosey to the clubhouse in the middle of the ballfields:

Partner up (one was a group of 3)

P1 runs down to the parking lot and does 10 merkins (there was quite a bit of discussion as to where the sidewalk ends and the parking lot begins.  We the think tank almost had it figured out by 6.  It was a hoot.)

P2 stays and does AMRAP of Big Boys.  The concrete was cold and the stars were big, bright, and plenty.  I think we almost lost EZ Rider to frostbite and Hypothermia.  I am happy to report that he was a trooper and narrowly pulled thru with very little medical attention needed.

This x 3

Rinse and repeat with CDDs in the parking lot (wherever we decided it was) and Heels to Heaven.

This x 3

Mosey to the lower shelter behind the turd shack for:

Step ups x 20 double count..same definition of “double count” as stated above after further discussion.

It was great to see the regulars and to meet Folger.  All the guys were an awesome encouragement as I’ve come to expect but not taken for granted.  Everyone pushed hard, mumble chatter was ridiculous and fun, and it was just a wonderful way to start the day.

It was an honor

Prayers:

Gastone for healing

It was a typical F3 morning and workout.  However, with that said, I am personally very grateful to have this.  YHC makes every effort to not take this for granted and try to share with some Sad Clowns that I know.  It has been and continues to be a true blessing.

It was great to see Emoji out today.

Great push and good times had by all (as JJ so eloquently put it at the end).

Thank you to Clavin for the opportunity.

Aye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Timeframe

As YHC arrived at roughly 5:15 this am it was noticed that Whoopee and Roscoe were doing an EC workout that involved lots of lunges and burpees.  It looked intense.  Gastone was out running some EC.  There may have been more but that’s just what I noticed.

The “gloom” was in full swing on this muggy, thick, and warm morning complemented perfectly by a big full moon.

With that being said, 12 of Gastonia’s finest HIM’s were gathering and in good spirits.  All looked eager and ready to rock n’ roll.

5:30…let’s get going.

Warm up:

20 x SSH (double count)

Mosey to the appliance/smoke shop in the Food Lion parking lot.

The Walls of Jericho story was said.

The Thang:

Walls of Jericho was as follows:

7 x each exercise on each wall of smoke shop.  Each time around is 7 x 4 = 28 each exercise per time around.

7 x around. Exercises were:

Toy Soldiers

Squats

Monkey Humpers

Mountain Climbers

Merkins

LBC’s

Flutter Kicks

Some made all 7 revolutions.  More made 6 before we ran out of time.  All pushed hard, were encouraging, and generally awesome as we’ve all come to expect from this amazing group of guys.  A perfect way to start the day.

Defib ran 5+ miles from Snoballs to the Pub and back as he had to modify the workout.
