Warm up was “standard” :

SSH, Hilbillys, Windmills, Gravel Pickers, and Moracin Night Clubs

Now on to the “sadness”! If I learned anything this morning, it’s that F3 Gastonia should not enter into any pick up basketball tournaments, or if they do the opponents strategy should be to foul and put as many PAX on the foul line as possible!

The stipulation was simple, each PAX was to take a free throw, If the basket was made we would all do 5 SSH, if it was missed we’d do 3 burpees…..

Well after about 13 of the 21 we had to stop because we had only done 5 SSH and 36 burpees, I could see where this was going and we had other things to do.

Next was a 3 x 3 on the benches: We did 20 step ups,  10 dips, and 10 Derkins, for 3 sets with a lap around the basketball court in between sets

We moved on to some STACKING 4 Corners: 10 Merkins, 15, Jump Squats, 20 Lunges, and 25 LBCs, and of course you have to UNSTACK what you stacked so we did just that!

We almost made it through a DORA 1 2 3  with 100 Big Boys, 200 Squats, and 300 Flutters , but the time ran out before we could finish so we took it back to COT.

Thanks to PAX that came out and thanks to Radar for the oppertunity to lead!

Although I’ve never attended Pain Lab, this is essentially Pain Lab.

Well I finally talked my boy into coming to a workout. Like his dad mornings aren’t really his thing. However when I told him my plans for this afternoon’s workout his natural competitive spirit kicked in. That and an opportunity to show me up and talk a little smack to me while doing so. (I don’t have a clue where he gets that from) Since we had an FNG I attempted a proper disclaimer. We then got in a very quick warmup and headed to the small soccer field which was being used so we quickly diverted to one half of one of the larger soccer fields. We picked teams and were quickly getting after it. Team Freight vs Team Wiki was quickly one sided but eventually became a little closer. In the end I’ll say the quick start and steady play from Team Freight was too much for us on Team Wiki to overcome. We ran a little over but managed to get back quickly enough to get Jake named and a quick COT. I will have to admit a huge Q Failure as I forgot to get the Pledge as I usually get that in early right after the warmup sorry about that guys. All in all it was a good time and thanks for showing. We named our FNG Scraps since the guys in attendance said it looked like all I allowed him to eat was the scraps at the end of my meals. It was either that Bol Bol, Manute, Stick, etc…y’all should get the point.

On a serious note Blart went down with a bad back spasm. So y’all be thinking about him as it looked very painful.

Prayers: Hall Family, Gavel and his family, My mom, Huck, Turtle Man

Praise: Huck, Broke’s daughter, God for all our many blessings

About 9:30pm Monday night, YHC finds himself in the midst of a 12-strong group chat, of whom he knows maybe half. Site Q is down range, back-up Q is home with 5 day old baby, 3rd string says he’d rather lift weights, and 4th string defers to “whoever the 910 number is”. Since YHC is from Fayetnam, he finds himself with an abrupt VQ, less than 8 hours away, most of which time he would prefer to spend asleep.

A route was mentally drawn and work was put in the following morning. Might be the first and last time “the guy from the coast” gets to Q at SIB, but it was fun while it lasted…

If you live under a rock and missed the news: Team X ran off the court.

All were winners today.

Simple up and back to Martha’s.

Prayers for those whom have lost loved ones recently.
Continuing prayers for Huck, Turtleman, Anchorman, and others.

Extinction run 13th.
Convergence 20th.
Community run with Speed for Need 20th.

Tesla and I posted at Cannonball this morning. It’s a gear workout similar to Lifeline and Bulldog.

Cutbait was on Q. There was an FNG who was named “Island Boy.”
