Four brazen warriors started strong on a perfect morning for a beatdown by the wolf. Things couldn’t have started any better…then came…the smell. Not one of those smells that come from the exhaust of our brothers during a solid stretch of LBCs or WW2s, but one of those smells that slap you in the face, cause your head to jerk backwards, and give you the feeling that you may very well spill merlot. Be it a decaying carcass left by the mythical wolf itself, or an overflowing port o john, we will never know. But it followed us all the way around the track and punched each of us right in the sniffers over and over again. Couldn’t be more proud of the guys as they pushed through, we couldn’t stop…we were committed to the workout, though a little dry heaving may have ensued at different times during the pain. Well done men!
Let’s break it all down-
Warmarama:
SSHx30, helicopters, DQ, Jazzercise, Russian Soldiers, Imp Walkers, Hillbillies, 3 count calf raises, 3 count buttkickers, merkins, LBCs, Flutter Kicks, Hello Dolly, Rosalita
The Thang:
Mosey to the track. This is where the stacks started and the stench made itself known…during the entire stacked mile. Front stretch, back stretch, the pain was REAL. The plan was to stack the exercises. Begin at 10, run a lap, same 10 and add 20 of another exercise, run a lap, 10, 20, 30 run a lap, 10, 20 , 30 , 40 run a lap. Exercises were 10x burpees, 20x ball dippers, 30x drydocks, 40x squats. Somehow, we all pushed through. Well done gents.
Mosey to the basketball courts. Four corners lady of the night style…and stacked focusing on core. Same numbers and plan 10/20/30/40 at each corner. First corner was heels to heaven, second – flutter kicks, then back to first and re-do H2H back to start. Back to first corner10x H2H, 20xFK, 30x Freddie Mercury at 3rd corner, back to FK/H2H back to start. Re-run the stack and finish at fourth corner with 40 LBCs, back through the gauntlet.
Abs on fire, we still had 6 min left so we played a little door to door salesman. Each door has a number on it, and each PAX calls out an exercise. We do the amount to match the number on the door. We hit four doors with the numbers 14, 15, 16, 17 on each respective door. Exercises were 14x merkins, 15x donkey kicks, 16x ???, 17 x WW2, Merkins, and Lt Dans to honor our veterans with a military theme finisher.
Mosey to the flag. YHC took us out. A brief discussion on the importance of this day and giving thanks to our service men and women and keeping them all in our prayers. Honoring all that either have served, or are still serving, on a day that is meant for them and the sacrifices they gave to protect our freedom. Remembrance of Nancy’s father who was a Marine and served his final post just a year and a half ago. Oorah Mr. Saylor. Prayers to the Saylor family for continued healing and that he may continue to look down and guide the family. Prayers for mental resolve for all that may be suffering post service. Prayers to the men of F3 that we may continue to lead in our communities and continue to grow as fathers, husbands, and men in our communities. Continue to give us all the strength and motivation to lead.
Thanks as always gents, it’s always an honor attacking the gloom with each of you and having the opportunity to lead when the opportunity presents itself. Happy Veterans day to all of our F3 brothers that served…THANK YOU!
