F3. ““ the face off.
It’s a very humbling experience when you only get one commit. All aspects of competitive work, and Dora fly on the window. Nevertheless, a beat down must be compiled. Who would YHC be without an objective pain and suffering.
As I sat in my truck, alone, cold and tired nervously waiting for a familiar truck car, or even Prius, I contemplated the fact it would be a solo down. Alas, an unfamiliar face one of years gone by approach me. a sweet old lady with a sparkle in her eye asked if I knew F3? could it be that F3 has reached this far? She then explained that she is jackknife’s grandmother and the 2.0 would not let a Saturday beatdown go without his presence! What dedication! Not a minute to late America’s best showed up and jumped out his truck ready to tackle the inevitable showdown
Warm Arama
We triangle up and perform side straddle hops, high knees, and butt kicks by the way Honeysuckle, & Willie Mayes Hayes
Thang1.
Run Indian.
We each lined up for a mosey and YHC instructed the crowd that 1st man would yell out an exicon approved workout and the Pax would perform 5reps of said exercise. Then 1st man would fall to the back of the line and the new 1st man would call out. The plan was for a mile run, but with the limited number of PAX, we capped it at a half mile. T-claps to AB for inventing the Arnold Schwarzenegger Merkin. This will come back again.
Thang2.
Reaction time. The entire PAX planked up face to face with a baseball in the center at arms reach. Once everyone was set anyone could grab the ball at any time. The winner would be rewarded with 10 merkins, while the losers inherited 10 burpees. At this time let it be known that Jackknife is faster than a rattlesnake. Whether it be equilateral, right angle or isosceles Jackknife was there, ball in hand, and a smirk that would make Popeye proud. 80 burpees in and Americas best announced that we should just do 20 burpees. Smarter words have never been spoken.
Thang3.
With Jackknife still clenching the baseball, we headed to the field. YHC asked him if he could throw the ball, and secretly had the notion to use that as a mark for distance.
Well, 40 yards later we were bearcrawling there and back. 10 Chuck Norris merkins. Then lunge walk 40 yards and back.
Thang4.
At the monkey bars the PAX would static hold a pull up for as long as possible( chin over bar). 1st to fall won 10 Carolina Dayton’s, and winner took 25 LBC. We made it 3rounds til YJC called it.
Thang5.
Baseball field. PAX lined up on their 6 at home plate,first, and short. Everyone jumped up and it was a sprint to catch the man ahead of you. This went on until YHC found Jackknife. Replayed with an added” on your six to merkin” and AB found me. A punishment of 10 airsquats or air biscuits had us all suffering.
Thang 6.
A fun game of kicking a baseball to each other for a half mile. I have no idea what this is called in the exicon and I can’t find it anywhere. You know what I’m talking about and I’ll be schooled on when this backblast posts!
We made it back to the flag and named off. COT and Jackknife prayed us .
A great morning with great people.
