IPC warm up

It was a great morning in Cramerton for a nice birthday beatdown. 11 PAX circle up, including the rare appearance of Spiderman…it was going to be a good morning!

Warm Up: SSH in cadence x41. Cause that’s how old I turned.

The Thang:

• Mosey down to in front of the drug store, where I lay down the vision for the morning. Most of the time, the best part of F3 isn’t the First F, but rather the Second F. When I tell friends why I keep coming back to something this stupid, I always talk about the camaraderie and the fellowship.
• So today…we are going to do some Fellowship Fitness! Each (most) light pole on the way up 8th we stopped at, for PAX to take turns calling out an exercise with their rep options being: 8, 17, or 41 reps.
• We continued that all the way up the hill…but Fannie Mae and Finkle dropped the hammer on us with 41 Gravel Pickers and 41 Big Boys, respectively.
• At the top of the hill and the light, turned and headed toward Mayflower, and continued the pattern down the road.
• One stop at the Riverside basketball court, couple stops on the way back toward downtown…including some obligatory hip slappers called by Orangeman under the train tracks.
• Mosey down the hill to the bridge, over to Goat Island, where in the middle of our “lightning round of 8’s only”, Tesla of course calls Kraken Burpees. That got Orangeman (?) so sauced up, he told a dog that was nervously being walked by us that we don’t bite, we only lick. That was YHC’s cue to get back to the flag as fast as possible.
• One small stop in the middle of the bridge, then back to COT where we finish up with a circle of Burpees (one each PAX in rotating fashion, as quickly as possible) and some stretches.
• Time

What a honor it is to lead, what an honor it is to be a part of this group. I’ll say it time and again…and thanks to everyone for getting me to 41. Let’s keep going.

• Norwood
• Turtleman
• Tiger’s parents
• Everyone continuing back to school
• Orangemen’s 2.0 and family are back officially from Colorado, but came with Covid. He hasn’t gotten to visit with them yet, including his granddaughter.

Buckshot, out.

We had 3 for The Pub this morning.  Open didn’t show for his Q this morning so I took over the Q.  New(ish) route called.  Straight up Gaston Day/Armstrong/Cox to Panera and back.  So simple even Seuss wouldn’t get lost… but nonetheless there was no Seuss today.  I guess he is too busy making facebook videos.  We contemplated ordering coffee for a mid run jolt but alas it was just to warm this morning.  Great fellowship with Roscoe and JJ!
