I’m using text to speech to write this back blast cents I can’t move my harms. My farms. My alarms. Delete. Backspace. BACKSPACE. Okay. Just start over. Leeland! Come here. How do I turn this off? Never mind. Stop laughing at me. You have milk coming out your nose. Just wipe your face and go to school. New Paragraph.
Hokie clearly became board during the first 3 quarters of the Saints game, as he texted me regarding the set-up for this week’s IPC. He told me what the challenge was, that setting it up as a star was stupid and then he texted “Are you stupid?” I texted “I’m not stupid.”
Charmin’s car was there when I pulled up at about 0515. I think he may have slept there. We walked up together with our cinderblocks coming upon a mass of humanity, lying on the sidewalk, shaped like a pretzel. We told The Bogé hello as we stepped over him. One by one pax members came to a cinder block workout without cinder blocks. The requirements for an F3 workout could not be much lower. It’s free, you do have to leave your house and go outside, and about twice per year you need to bring something to the workout. Fortunately our resident boy scout had a couple of PainCakes that he donated to a couple of pax and then walked to the rock pile so that he could do the workout au natural.
The Thang: Belle Ringer
Format: AMRAP for 45 minutes
Set-Up: Make a 5-point star with each point of the star being 25 yards away from the center. Scratch that. Set Up: Mark of 25 yards from the goal line and tell people to remember the order of the exercises and don’t get in each other’s way.
Workout starts with:
• 5 ManMakers in the middle. Rifle carry to cone 2 and perform 10 “We’re Not Worthy”. Farmer carry back to center.
• 5 ManMakers/Blockees in middle. Rifle carry to cone 3 and perform 15 Goblet Squats. Farmer carry back to center.
• 5 ManMakers/Blockees in middle. Rifle carry to cone 4 and perform 20 Overhead Triceps Extensions. Farmer carry back to center.
• 5 ManMakers/Blockees in the middle. Rifle carry to cone 5 and perform 25 KB Swings. Farmer carry back to center.
• 5 ManMakers/Blockees in the middle. Rifle carry to cone 5 and perform 30 Curls. Farmer carry back to middle.
Scoring: Total reps for 45 minutes of the exercises
Each complete trip is 125 reps
• T-claps to Cyber Cajun for vowing to arrive early today and executing. He was a little late to last week’s IPC. We talked about the importance of getting there early since everyone is going to want to start at 0530. He arrived at least 15 seconds before this one started.
• Mahatma was a no-show. The rumor was that he was looking for a cinder block that weighed more than 10 pounds. He finally found one, but was unable to lift it into his truck.
• T-Claps to Rudy for Marshalling enough courage to show up this morning.
• The variety of coupons used today was impressive. We had three or four actual cinder blocks. We had a couple of PainCakes. There was the natural rock. And Triple Shift brought a bag of laundry that he swears weighs 45 pounds.
• We helped each other calculate the results since there was some difficult mathematical concepts involved. Hand Grenada proved that Arkansas is at least 49th in education. Bogey came over and let him use his fingers. After staring at my feet for a while, they still couldn’t come up with the correct number. I fixed it for them below. Without further ado here are the results. Remember, you can post these on F3 Greenville’s site if you want to see how ridiculous other people’s numbers are.
o Charmin – 375
o Rudy – 375
o Triple – 373
o Hokie – 275 + a long mosey with rock to and from the rock pile
o Boo – 375
o Cyber – 300
o HG – 410
o The Bogé – 395
o YHC – 430
