It has been five years in the making to get to this point, and YHC was so honored to see the 14 studs turnout, even a few that read the weather report wrong. We had everything from full pants to no pants, and everything in between. The deal still stood – if you bring a FNG YHC will take you and your FNG out to breakfast at Libbie Market – no FNGs were spotted today.
Warmup
We started with a reminder about the mission of F3 then it was off to do some much overlooked and needed stretching. Then 25 SSHs, progressively getting faster, followed by a 10 merkin wave. Handshake said that YHC stole this idea but YHC really was just doing an homage to YHC’s pal.
Thang
Following the warmup, it was off for a tour of the sites. YHC reminded everyone to mentally mark the flashing crosswalk because it would come into play later. Mosey to a new triangle near the pond for a triple check. Slight modification to the triple check, every time the timer/runner comes back the three of you do 3 burpees in unison. So timer runs while the other two do merkins for the first round and airsquats, second and third round goes from merkins to WW2s.
Finish up then its off to do an homage to EF Hutton, run down the road of pretty houses and at every SUV/Truck 5 merkins, car 5 WW2s, and convertibles 10 air-presses, but there were no convertibles. And for every Woodfin truck it was 20 burpees – no Woodfin trucks today.
At the end of the road take a left down the tunnel street for lunges, crabwalk, and bear crawls. At the end of the tunnel look what we have here but two Frisbees!
YHC reminded everyone to remember the flashing cross walk – the game is this, get the frisbee all the way to the flashing cross walk in under 5 minutes. If the frisbee touches the ground its 5 merkins for everyone. If we don’t get to the flashing crosswalk in 5 minutes its 20 burpees for everyone – race was on. soon everyone stopped catching and just threw the Frisbee as far as one could. We may need to do some ultimate practice. All arrived safely at the flashing cross walk.
Mosey to the valley behind the stage. Count off by 1-2-1-2, and for Upchucks case count off 1-2-1-2-1-2. He certainly followed directions. Once we were all into two teams, we paired up with an opponent for a game of Rock Paper Scissors. You and your partner play 10 rounds in the bottom of the valley, between each round you run back up the hill and meet back down in the middle of the valley. Winner of each game goes into plank and the looser of each game does 3 burpees. Rinse and repeat 10 times. After that the ultimate winner so the person with the most games won on team 1 and team 2 meets in the middle for the ultimate showdown – rest of the PAX is in plank and the Mr. Rogers and YHC faced off in a squat for best 2 out of three rounds. YHC was victorious, and the losing team had to do 25 merkins.
Mosey back to the flag for some stretching. This group means so much and are a great part of my day, thank you all for the opportunity to lead today.
