Nine PAX arrived in the Gloom on this much anticipated Q2 day, and Autumn was in the air. Rumor has it that that Congress was considering making Q2 a national holiday, but YHC respectfully requested they stick to matters relevant to the nation, and leave the important stuff to the Men of F3!
YHC gave his disclaimer, and the PAX moseyed to the track.
The Thang
Warm Up COP – IC
SSH x 25
Windmills x 10
IW x 15
Mountain Climbers x 15
Arm Circles x 20 – 10 forward, 10 back
Note: As the PAX started the warm up, the track was dark and YHC’s plans were in jeopardy. However, during the COP, light was cast upon our humble PAX and all was good.
Mosey to one side of the track, and Broad Jump Burpey through the center to the other side. This was painfully fun….
It was time for some Blackjack in the center of the track.
11 merkins one end,run and do 10 LBC’s the other end. End with 20 Merkins one end, 1 LBC the other end.
Mosey to the baseball diamond. Side Effects made some mumble chatter about animals, and YHC asked if he could name the movie from the quote “Build it and he will come.” Field of Dreams was the answer, which was correct, and so YHC rewarded with just that. Dividing among bases we began:
Home Plate – 15 Burpees (the count)
1st Base – Big Boy Sit ups (AMRAP)
2nd Base – Merkins (AMRAP)
3rd Base – LBC’s (AMRAP
After one circuit, PAX moseyed to benches and:
15 left leg step us
15 Incline Merkins (mumble chatter about hoping for some merkins today – YHC was smiling)
15 right leg step ups
4 minutes remained, so time for 4 minutes of Mary – IC:
Flutter kicks x 20
Box Cutters x 20
American hammer x 15
LBC’s x 30
Flutter Kicks x 20
During the 4 minutes of Mary, there was mumble chatter about the girls nearby. If only Tool had his cinder-blocks, or our rocks from the uptowner, then we could have done some curls for the girls, or maybe some rows for the……well you know.
Mosey back to the flag for COT. Side Effects is leaving us for a great opportunity in Philly, where he can cheer for a Bison that became an Eagle. Side Effects pushed me hard the first time I entered the gloom, which made me want to come back. His leadership and participation has strengthened our PAX. You taught YHC well, and you will be missed, my friend!
Prayers for Tool and his son, for Side Effects and his family, cancer victims and families, and many others.
Thanks for allowing YHC to Q, and thank you for letting me part of this great group. Q2 is in the books…..
