When Mulligan had to back out of Q’ing, I jumped at the chance to take the Q , especially knowing it was going to be my 100th F3 workout this year. I arrived early and stealthily unloaded the 6 cinder blocks I have been toting around in the back of my Suburban onto the lawn behind “Touchdown Jesus”(surprise for later). I was dreading this day, as I knew at the end of the workout, I had a burpee bet, with Willie, to pay off for our Fantasy League game, loser does the score differential in burpees, Let’s just say it wasn’t close and the number was 61 burpees! OUCH!
The PAX began to assemble at the front of the park and at 5:30 we were ready to go. The Intro and disclaimer were given as well as the Announcement that this was my 100th beatdown. I don’t think anyone could believe I actually keep track of that, but I do. So off we went for a Mosey down to Walnut across St. Charles and back down to the nicest patch of grass Uptown, the Loyola “U” for the Warm-Up.
Warm-Up – 100 Reps of warm- up
SSH x20 IC
Imperial Walkers x20 IC
Mountain Climbers x20 IC
Hillbillies x20 IC
Sun Gods – 10 Fwd, 10 Rev
Thang 1 -100 Rep Circuit
Did a count-o-rama to determine we had 25 PAX divided up in to 5 groups of 5, Five Stations setup around the lawn
Station 1 – Dips – this was the count – 20 reps
Station 2 – Monkey Humpers – AMRAP
Station 3 – SURPRISE WE HAVE BLOCKS AT WPM – Curls for the Girls – AMRAP
Station 4 – Low Slow Squats – AMRAP
Station 5 – Plank Jacks – AMRAP
Finished first round, that was fun, Let’s RINSE AND REPEAT!
20 count by King Kong, and lets Mosey to the Mountain.
Thang 2 – Dora 1,2,3, up the Mountain
Run up the mountain with stops to exercise at each turn-around.
Partner up, Exercise are 100 Merkin, 200 Bobby Hurley’s, 300 LBC’s, combined effort
At each turnaround:
PAX 1 would do 10 Merkin, 20 Bobby Hurley’s and 30 LBC’s, for the count
PAX 2 would do Shoulder taps during the Merkins, Al Gore during the Bobby Hurley’s and Flutter Kicks during the LBC’s. Flap Jack exercises at each turnaround.
10 Stops on the way up gets us to our required counts.
This took longer than expected, and as the last groups arrived to the top of the mountain I realized it was already 6:11. No time for anything else…
Down the stairs and a quick Mosey back to the Flag.
COT
Count-o-rama, Name-o rama, NO FNG’s, Good! I don’t want to hear anymore Mumble chatter about my bad naming skills. My prayers were answered as I got a reprieve till next week from the burpee bet, as Willie had to leave as soon as we were done and didn’t make it to the COT. Now I have to dread it for another week.
Announcements: A group is going to Mobile to help with the new AO there on Sat anyone is welcome to come along. Coffeeteria at PJ’s after.
I thanked everyone for their support and motivation they provide me every work out. I never could have lost the weight I have, 40lbs and gotten to where I am, 100 workouts so far this year, with out all of y’all pushing me every day and holding me accountable. Thanks again!
Special Intentions for Rudy’s family, and an HNJ mom fighting the good fight against cancer.
My usual , still out of breath, Prayer! AMEN!
Thanks, as always for the opportunity to lead! I always enjoy it!
SYITG!
