Jenny from the block

Leave a comment

4 strong 💪 today for a glorious beatdown led by YHC. We all pondered why Jenny is back with Ben… actually, no, that’s not true. That didn’t even cross anyone’s mind this morning.

Disclaimer given

Warm Up:
IW
Hillbillies
Cherry Pickers
Heel Raises

The Thang:
Crawl Bear to the bay over the sand
10 BBS
10 Merkins
10 Squats
Bear crawl back

That was fun.

Now repeat exercise and run the block 5 times (ok, it was a parking lot.. but if I didn’t call it a block the title to this post would make absolutely no sense.)

Mosey… SSHs as we wait out DPRs calf cramp

Squats & Al Gores 10,9,8….10

Mosey to sea wall (shuffle really after those squats…)

Wall sits and Planks

Mosey to start for a perfect 6 minutes of mary.

10 strong 💪 this morning at Carmel High. Weather was fantastic. A cool 55 degrees and foggy. Basically like every summer morning here in Carmel.

It was great to see Natty downrange from F3 Knoxville join us and come to coffeteria, too. Also great to see Bru Ha Ha (MIA since July 2020), whom YHC mistook for his younger brother Jagger. Sorry Bru Ha Ha!

Warm Up:
10 Michael Phelps
50 SSH
100 Grady Corn (yes! we made it to 100! Only a few moans from the pax. The batwing king loved the grady corns.)
20 Cherry Pickers
10 heel raises

The Thang:
On Track…
For 2 laps:
2 merkins, Run ¼ track, 4 merkins, run ¼ track, 6 merkins, run ¼ track 8 merkins for 4 laps. If first at ¼ mark do 2x exercise, if you are 2nd, do 1.5x exercise. If last, skip exercise and keep running. Sorry for the complex math!

Repeat: Burpees, Absolution, Situps

Great to watch Beach and Natty duke it out on the last 1/4 mile run. Natty took it.

Line up on goal line. Crawl bear 50, run back, crawl bear 25, run back. YHC thought that would take longer than it did so lets Crawl Bear to the 100 and run back.

Still time…

Freddy Mercury’s, Rosalitas, 6 inches….

Announcements:
* Contact Beach SOON! about F3 Shirt order… 10% discount and free shipping
* Contact Sharkbait about F3 Monterey custom shirt order
* RSVP to YHC if you are coming to Dinner at YHC house. Pizza, etc. Priorities will be in town and joining us.

Another day in paradise. I am not sure what the temperature was. Same as most summer mornings. Overcast and beautiful.

8 strong 💪 this morning. Weather was like a beautiful winter day in South Florida. Sunny. Slight warm breeze with some cool patches here and there. Great to have Dilbert joins us downrange from Gold Rush!

Disclaimer Given

Warm up:

Heel Raises

LBCs

The Thang:
Mosey to the beach Circle drawn in the sand for F3 Monterey’s first every Crab Walk and Bear Crawl racing!

2 pax line up on opposite ends of the circle and go in same direction. Race ends when one Pax taps the other. We did a 5 lap maximum for the race but we never got there. Some great racing from the pax. Every pax got in a race, or maybe two doing:

  • Crab Walks
  • Bear Crawls

While the 2 pax were racing the other pax watched and did: Hillbillies, SSH, Imperial Walkers, Grady Corn

Mosey closer to sea wall.

Partner up, first team calls: One partner does absolutions (calls it at 100) and the other partner runs to wahrf wall and does 2 burpees & returns to take over the absolutions.

Mosey to fish market.
10 hand release merkins oyo
10 gas pumps (4 count) oyo (Pax loved the feel of the sharp rocks on thier backs.)

Mosey… there’s a bit of time left… let’s do some small box jumps… and more box jumps…

Mosey to sea wall for some wall Sits / plank:
1 min wall sit, 1 min plank
45 sec wall sit, 45 sec plank
30 sec wall sit, 30 sec plank

Mosey back to AO for some 6 inches and gas pumps (and for those going slow we called them EV pumps.)

Count-o-rama, Name-o-rama

Consequences: YHC did not do a great job with the words of wisdom… neither at the COT or here… but here it is again: Everything we do has consequences.
