What an awesome Spring Saturday morning to be outside for a workout! YHC was anxious driving to the Yank, not sure of the turnout but had a well prepared Weinke and ready to push that rock. As I pulled into downtown Belmont, several PAX were finishing up some EC running. By 7am, we had 11 HIMs, including YHC readyfor a Fighting Yank beatdown. Let’s go to work!

Warmup:

SSH – 25 I/C

Toy Soldiers x 10

Lung w/Twist x 10

Burpees x5

The Thang:

Let’s mosey to Hawthorn Hill..

Triple Nickle with a Bernie Sanders twist

5x Merkins at bottom of hill, run backwards halfway up and then forward to top of hill for 5x squats. Rinse and Repeat 5x.

YHC hears a train, 5x burpees…

Mosey onto the parking lot down under. Here we lose Pockets, had to leave early but he did make it out for the hill work. All PAX meet in center of parking lot for next set of exercises. We all break off into 4 groups and all perform 5x burpees in center, each group moves to a corner for the given exercise.

Group 1 – 12x Balls to Wall HippSlappers,

Group 2 – Mercins x 11

Group 3 – Imperial Squats x11

Group 4 – WW2 or Big Boy Sit-ups x 11 (Q stated BB sit-ups but was doing WW2)

Complete your exercise, run back to center for 5x burpees and then to the next exercise, back to center for 5x burpees. Continue until each group completes each exercise and then rinse and repeat another round. We completed a total of 40 burpees during the two rounds.

Time to mosey again up to the Field of Dreams…YHC had stopped on his way in  before workout and laid out a triangle of cones for our last exercise, the Bearmuda Triangle, modified. It went like this, 1x burpee at first cone, bear crawl to second cone, 2x burpee, bear crawl to third cone, 3x burpees, and bear crawl back to cone 1, rinse and repeat 3x. The exercise calls for each cone to be 30 yards apart, YHC spaced the cones at about 10-12 yards apart and at that distance, it was a bear crawl beat down.

Mosey to Ring of Fire for a round of PAX selected Marys and finished 5 more burpees. Thanks Boudin!

Today’s run was Defib’s final prep for the Big Sur Marathon. He promises in-Marathon posts to Twitter.

Oompa Loompa & I ran 4 miles up & down Armstrong while the most of the PAX ran 5: Armstrong to New Hope (L) to Gardner Park (R) to Armstrong (R) & back to Pub. JKII went rucking. Somewhere. Nobody really knows where… or if he actually did it!

Announcements: Gastone is turning up the heat on the BRR team. He mumbled something about running up and down Crowder’s Mtn over and over again. Roscoe has big F3Dads plans for the summer but he doesn’t know what they are. Maybe Sparky does. Tool Time promises HOURS OF PAIN on Memorial Day: Murph (F3Gastonia) followed by Speed For Need 5K in S CLT (many F3 regions pushing 8 chairs, all Veterans); check Slack channel. 2nd F Disc Golf this Saturday @ Goat; bring M+2.0s; Sargento will announce time.

Prayers for JKII’s dad; Sly (just promoted to Sergeant & received orders to Germany for 3y)

Excitement is rolling through the hills of Folsom right now. Recent FNG Gravity is posting every day. Local legends Huck and Allen Tate have come back with a vengeance! The first stop on our World Tour 2018 was a huge success as 11 Folsom brothers (and honorary brothers) bravely made their way across 74 to Snowballs for a workout that won’t soon be forgotten! Exciting ideas are flowing left and right. Mumble chatter isn’t quite so mumble…everyone is pumped and I’m so excited to be part of it. I put the my weinke together Tuesday because this thing MUST be a gem. I won’t let my brothers down!

Moleskin:

Thanks to everyone for bringing the passion and effort the past few weeks! When we first started talking about a trip to Snowballs, I committed because Huck was going and I want to support him. Others were also in immediately. I think to myself we are going to 5-6 show and this will be awesome. But it kept growing. “I’m in”, “Let’s go”, “Where is it?”, “Who said balls?”….commitments were coming left and right. One after another, guys were committing to come and it pushed others to come. I love it! We will pick, we will push, we may even get frustrated, but we will help shape each other into the best men we can be!

And that, fellas, is a prompt backblast!

We will see you in the gloom soon…….
