Tsunami 12/10/19
I wondered how many people would show up after the F3 Christmas Party, but around 5:28 several figures emerged through the humid, warm fog and after a quick disclaimer off we went.
Into Audubon Park for a quick warm-up on the track: SSH, IW, Squats, Peter Parker, Mountain Climbers, Merkins
Run track to Drew Brees Playground for circuit #1
- Ab extensions on the swings x10
- Diamonds x10
- Jump squats x10
- LBC x20
- X3 rounds
Back to the track and run full loop of the park, around to playground at Expo/St Charles, picking up Crimson from F3 Carpex who had looped in with our local FiA contingent
Circuit #2 at Playground:
- Merkins on balance swing/surf thing x10
- Split-arm Pull ups x10
- Derkins on swing x10
- X3 rounds
Across St Charles and over to WPM
Run up to the top of Wolfpack Mountain with 5 merkins at each end (10 merks/floor – 7 floors)
Back down stairs and back to COT
Summary:
- 3.5 miles
- 180 merkins/variants
- Creative use of playgrounds
On our dark run around the park, we passed many a runner and frightened dog walker until one group yelled out “hey, are you F3?” Why yes ma’am, we are! Our F3 brother from Raleigh/Carpex, Crimson, had arrived late and in a new town, standing outside a dark park without any sense of where might be, he’d looped in with a couple of lovelies from FiA and was enjoying a nice morning jog. He joined up and we kept at it. We kept up the pace today and covered some ground – strong work from everyone.
Until next time
