When YHC pulled up at the always quiet, very dark Basketball Court at the corner of Livingston and Lamarque, a spot known by our band of F3 brothers as the Milestone Marsh, there was a car slowly patrolling the area. Driving slowly, first it passed on Livingston street, then it turned on Lamarque street, and finally the car parked next to mine and a guy got out. But the person who emerged wasnt one of the regulars -Bushwacker, Shooter, etc. This was a new car, an unknown one. After a while, we all can recognize our F3 compadres as soon as they round the corner by the car they drive. We can always identify who drives what car, from which direction they usually come, where they usually park, and… if they usually come in HOT or not to the workouts. (Unless you are OCHO and you sleep at the AO!). By this time, I was trying to figure out who this guy was, certain, at some point, I would recognize him. But, he was avoiding eye contact, and keeping his distance as I was at center court, our normal meeting point. Long story short, he was an FNG, who lived in Hawaii, went to Duke University, and now works for Chevron. He was EH’ed by co-worker, Sea Bass. Here’s a BIG WELCOME to FNG, COCONUTS!
Warmup: SSH, HK, BK, GM, WM all IC x 15
Mosey to Lakefront for some action at RIPS:
One member of Pax runs up and over the staircase at Rips while the other members do an exercise. When one man goes up and over, the next man goes, until everyone is done. Then, rinse and repeat with a new exercise. Here’s a sampling, a taste, if you will, of the exercises: merkins, squats, lunges, flutterkicks, calf raises, Rocky Balboa’s.
Mosey across the street to seawall.
Starting at sidewalk, one man does an animal walk (this morning it was bearcrawl, crabwalk, duck walk). to seawall while Pax does an exercise (Al Gore, lunges). Sorry, Turbo, for leaving out the Ostrich walk, and OCHO for not sprinkling in your monkey humpers.
Then it was ISI (rower sit-ups) sets of 10 x 4, alternating w/ 10 merkins x 4.
Mosey back to Marsh. COT, and YHC prayed us out!
Thanks, fellas, for letting me lead and making me a better version of myself.
