Birthdays everywhere

Q: Priorities

Pax: Rhymes, Mud Duck, Sawdust, Priorities

YHC doesn’t know what is so romantic about mid May but from all the birthdays going on, that’s when people are getting bizzay!  Croc’s birthday was 2 weeks ago, Priorities 2.0 had a birthday on Monday, M Croc is having a baby (quite possibly as I type this), M Rhymes is getting induced tonight and this morning F3 Monterey celebrated Sawdust’s 33rd birthday the best way we know how…

Warmup:

SSHs x33 IC

IWs x33 IC

Copperhead Merkins x33 IC

Paint the lines (only 1 court, gotta keep the legs fresh…)

The Thang:

The traditional F3 Monterey Birthday Run – (this is the second such event so it’s now a tradition…)

– 1 pax takes off with the jugs.  All other pax do 3 burpees.  When the jugs are caught, new pax takes over.  When you are caught with the jugs, you do 3 burpees and chase down the jugs again.  Repeato.

Mud Duck didn’t quite understand the point as when we all were coming back to pick him up, he turned around and got a head start back to the flags.  Good thought but we still had places to go.

Next, the S.A.W.D.U.S.T. commenced at the wharf courtyard.

Scorpion Dry Docks – x16.5 each leg – OYO

American Hammers – x33 IC

Wheel of Merkins x33 – OYO (33 merkins, turning 90 degrees between each rep)

Derkins – had to be skipped on account of time and exhaustion

Up-downs – See Derkins

Sun Gods – x33 IC (16.5 fwd/16.5 back each sides/front/overhead) – Aye!!

Birthday run back to the flags

Thigh Masters x16.5 each leg IC

COT:  Numbers/Names

Words of wisdom from last weeks F3 Round Table:

An old man going a lone highway,
Came, at the evening cold and gray,
To a chasm vast and deep and wide.
Through which was flowing a sullen tide
The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
The sullen stream had no fear for him;
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built a bridge to span the tide.
“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near,
“You are wasting your strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day,
You never again will pass this way;
You’ve crossed the chasm, deep and wide,
Why build this bridge at evening tide?”
The builder lifted his old gray head;
“Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said,
“There followed after me to-day
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been as naught to me
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be;
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building this bridge for him!”
YHC rambled on for a bit but said nothing better than the poem above.  Prayers for those coming after us, especially Croc 2.0 and Rhymes 2.0 coming soon.

***UPDATE***

So I wrote this post yesterday but never published it.  It was a crazy night.  I was writing quite literally as Baby Hux (Croc 2.0) was being born.  Mom and baby are doing great!  Thanks for all the TAPS, especially to Sharkbait for praying with me at happy hour in the middle of a bar when we got word they were going in for a C Section.  God is good!!

In other baby news, M Rhymes has been admitted to the hospital but no progress yet.  Continue the TAPS for the next new addition to F3 Monterey!

Priorities out
