Attendance from participation.

Rock was pushed.

Special thanks to everyone who served our country in the military.  Your sacrifice makes it possible for guys like me to enjoy a safe and FREE life.  Thank you all.  It’s also Armistice Day.  Do some research on WWI, it’s very interesting.

Attendance from participation.

Show to know, but it involved the alphabet…

YHC has been on a plateau for about 6-7 weeks now. Inspired by Defib’s upcoming challenge, the PAX running halfs, and the Pax tackling the Tuna, YHC decided today we would up the cardio at Neverland.

YHC arrived in Neverland to find Dirt off doing EC and many regulars sitting snug in their vehicles. While stretching, Wet Nutz indicated he hoped to have at least one FNG.

Alas 0530 hit, with no FNG, so only the abbreviated disclaimer was provided…

Pledge.

Warm-up:
5 Burpees OYO

The real work:
Mosey to ramp behind the soon-to-be Planet Fitness.
Bear Crawl the ramp and then do 30 IW single count.
Repeat.
Somewhere in here, YHC was informed the FNG had in-fact appeared and a more formal introduction to F3 was given by the PAX that had seen him and brought him along. (Thanks to all involved)

Mosey back around the building, down to Union Rd and over to Fidelity Bank.
20 Merkins, Lap around the building and then 20 CDDs
Repeat, but this time go around the island behind the bank too.

Mosey on down Union to Rivermont Dr. with instructions to stop at the 4-way stop. I guess one homeowner is not used to runners in the gloom and nearly took a few of the PAX backing out of their driveway. (Easy Rider almost needed to be renamed Trunk Rider.)
Perform squats while waiting on the six. Once all were present…
20 Squats

Mosey down Valleywood, past maintenance shack and on toward the concession stand, stopping at a set of bleachers.
20 Calf Raises – Feet shoulder width.
20 Calf Raises – Feet wide
20 Calf Raises – Feet together

Mosey to picnic shelter.
20 dips
Run around 3rd island
20 step-ups each leg.

Many PAX expected a repeato, but Outhouse reminded YHC of some toys found during The Sammich, so let’s mosey to the entrance of the Park, switching to a nur about 1/2 way.
30 flutters single count.

Mosey back to the shopping center.
Partner-up with P1 pickup a sandbag holding the temporary fence.
While P1 carries sandbag to other end of parking lot and back, P2 perform SSH.
Flapjack.
Repeat.

Once the sandbags were back close to how we found them, mosey back to Snoballs.

Easy Rider led flutters while YHC retrieved my phone.

To put the cherry on this, 5 Burpees, run around the building (longest way) and 5 more burpees.

YHC called it about 90 sec early to give time for the FNG…

Welcome FNG Trey Pruitt, now known as Tin Cup.

Moleskin:
Thanks to all the posted this morning. Thanks especially to the PAX that paced with Tin Cup.

I really appreciate the push, encouragement, and support given. I wouldn’t be where I am at from where I was without all of you.

Watts Up powering down.

Neverland.  It has been quite a while since I Q’d.  Today was as good a day as any.

I was awake early so I got in some EC running before.  It was humid.

Good crowd showed for a Monday.

Let’s get after it.

Pledge followed by a quick IC warm up with 13 Imperial Walkers followed by 10 SSH’s.

The Thang

Mosey to the center of the baseball fields at Martha Rivers Park for some work that I endured when in the Carpex Region last month:

Split into 3 groups.  3 of the paths leading away from the center are designated 1, 2 & 3.

Run down the path, do 50 reps of an exercise, run back for 5 burpees and then plank for the PAX to complete.  After 1st Round, group 1 moves to path 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 1, etc.

Path 1 – 50 Merkins; Path 2 – 50 Flutter Kicks; Path 3 – 50 Squats

Round 2:  Path 1 – 50 CDD’s; Path 2 – 50 LBC’s; Path 3 – 50 Jump Squats

The Moleskin

It was great hearing about the BRR Ruck this morning and over the last few days.  I had some real FOMO as it was an event I really wanted to do.  However, thanks to F3 and what I have learned about striving to be a HIM, I was with my family over the weekend in Raleigh with all 5 of us together, which doesn’t happen much right now as I have two in College and one still at home.  That was exactly where I needed to be and it was a terrific weekend.  The concentrica has helped me stay on my path over the past few years when it comes to keeping in mind focused on what is most important.  Balancing all this time between family, community, F3, work, etc is what HIMs have to strive to do and come to understand what being Third is really about.

Aye!

Until the next one.  See you in the gloom.

Stroganoff

Turtleman said he wasn’t going to be available today… something about taking time off, or a vacation or some sort of nonsense that didn’t involve posting this morning. Anyhow, at the time only Gastone and YHC offered to Q. While YHC came ready, the PAX was offered the opportunity to switch, but there weren’t enough takers to make the change, so here we go.

Standard Shortened Disclaimer.

Warm-Up:
A little Tabata to get things going…15 seconds of work with 7 seconds of rest…
SSH
Merkin
SSH
Squats
SSH
Plank Jacks
SSH

Pledge.

The Thang:
Through all of this, there was a black ball sitting in the middle of the circle. All had eyed it and some had even guessed it to be a bowling ball. YHC picked up the #10 ball and tossed it to a surprised pax and we moseyed to Robinwood Crossing Shopping Center, stopping near the cleaners at the first row of parking spots

The ball was passed to Island with instructions to place on one of the parking lot lines, no closer than 3 away. Island ran off and although he had a good bit of advice in which line to choose, ultimately placed the token 5 away.

Run to the line with the token – 10 Merkins.
Karaoke to the other end of the line – 20 Squats.
Nur to the starting line – 30 Plank Jacks.
Karaoke to the other end of the line – 5 Flying Squirrels.
Repeat for a total of 3 rounds.

Since Gastone was first to complete, he was sent to retrieve the token while the pax formed a tightish circle. Upon his return, assume the people’s chair position and pass (aka toss aka throw) the token to a fellow pax.Gastone was the first to drop the token and was assessed a 10 burpee penalty, followed by Rainbow Ranger and YHC. To end the fun, all were assigned 10 burpees.

After Spiderman’s version of a 10 count, YHC called a token Indian Run: Person with the token runs to the front. The token is passed back to the last man… you get the idea.

This sounded good on paper.
After one lap around the buildings… Ok, not such a good idea.
After a lap around the parking lot…. This may have been a bad idea.
After another lap around the buildings… This was a really crappy idea, who thinks of this stuff?

We ended up at the wall of the old grocery store.

I am sure, all thought wall sits were coming next, but YHC instead asked Whoopee to lead in some Hip Slappers, while his favorite, the rest of the pax may not have the same opinion. After some amount, maybe 10 IC, it was time for wall sitting, while passing the token back and forth. After the token traversed 3x, time to recover. But due to the token being dropped 3x, a 5 burpee penalty was called.

Next YHC asked Gastone to lead in 20 flutters IC, but when he started out slower than molasses in winter in Minnesota, Easy Rider thankfully took up cadence.

Time for another round of wall sits. The token was not dropped during this round, so a 5 burpee reward was called, followed by another round of Whoopee Hip Slappers.

Another trip around the buildings and back to start.

There was a bit time left, so Mary made an appearance.
Island – LBCs
Pedal – American Hammers
Whoopee – Burpees
Easy Rider – Dying Cockroaches

Time!

Announcements:
Convergence on Saturday, 7 AM at GasHouse. All other AOs closed.

There is no Diablo Sammich on 04-July, Whoopee is doing a Murph at Martha Rivers at 7 AM instead. All are invited to attend.

YHC took us out in prayer.

Great work put in by all today. It was an honor to be given the opportunity to lead.

Watts Up powering down.
