They say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb; Today’s brisk and windy gloom proved that to be true—48 degrees according to the car.
There was sprinting and stretching and most importantly there was accountability and brotherhood. As the COT disbanded, Frac mentions it is Pi Day; how’d we let that get by without weaving it into the workouts!? Enjoy ur quiche, Frac.

Without a Mention of Pi Day! – from Bolt

He’s Not Heavy, He’s My Brother – from Bolt
After warmorama of the usual with groiners mixed in to liven things up, form single file line and while YHC carries sand bag to the outside track pax do two burpees then last guy in line catches and assumes the sandbag, sending me to the back. If you wanna go fast go alone; if you wanna go far, go together and together is how we support each other when we all struggle mentally.
Each pax had a turn with the bag, we ended at the rock pile to collect medium rocks and circle up on YHC where burpee timer is in the middle (x15) with Pax at different stations con roca: squats, tricep press, lunges, LBC, OH press, curls, rows, wife pleasers, merkins, reverse lunges, Penguins, SSH, plus sand bag chest press. Rudy opted to skip a song incurring a five burpee penalty for all just before Mambi was the timer; “Thanks a lot, Rudy” was his reply. Rudy actually experienced double punishment because the awful song he skipped brought an even worse song (Bolt’s playlist delivers again!) and no back to back skips—hahaha.
Mahatma, as always, offered up encouragement to keep pushing ourselves. Today’s gloom, like life, had each pax pushing himself with something different than the men around him yet it was the shared struggle that bound us together because he’s not heavy, he’s my brother.
Back to the flag grateful for F3 and the support of brothers in the gloom; welcome back (Kotter) Pillsbury and way to keep the consistency, Off Balance.

Welcome to February – from Hokie
8 Pax welcomed in February with 2.25 miles and a bunch of burpees
After disclaimer, we moseyed to track for our warm up. Each 1/6 of a lap mosey we conducted a warm up such as ankle rolls, opening & closing gate, high knees, arm circles, some “clubbing”, neck rolls
We continued to mosey in 1/6 of a lap increments with variations such as Running backwards, regular mosey, lunges forward, lunges backwards
At each 1/6 lap stop we did either 5 or 6 burpees and then 10 of other exercises like shoulder taps or mountain climbers
At 6:40, 6:50, 7:00 & 7:10 the alarm sounded and we did 1/4 mile mosey followed by 5 burpees and then shoulder taps while waiting on the six
2.25 miles & 156 burpees later we stretched for 3 minutes to someone Mumblechattering the Q was just looking to waste time
Stretch before & after your workouts and at least one day a week for an extended period to help prevent injuries.
