Covid lock-down was broken today for YHC with a return to the AO.

Walk to 10, do 10 gas pumps… walk to 20, do 20 gas pumps … all the way to endzone….
25 Merkins, crawl bear to 100 yards
Walk to 10, do 10 squats… walk to 20…. you get it
Crab walk to 10, 10 burpees…. walk to 20…. Pax getting tired – stop at the 50.
Walk to 10, 10 Monkey Humpers…. walk to 20….etc. to the 50
Wrap it up with 1 air press / 1 merkin every 5 yards and ending with 10/10.

What can YHC say. It was great to be back and hope the pax enjoyed it.

Burgundy on the call Thursday pointed out that YHC will be the only one of the 5 left in Monterey by the end of the year. It has been very humbling to have known those for the time we have spent together in Monterey. YHC is a bit reserved and had YHC not come out to Carmel High on 12/29/2018 there would have been no time getting to know any of the PAX. The PAX has lifted YHC. And for that, YHC is grateful.

Speaking of 12/29/2018… 609 days ago… Burgundy and YHC started F3 on that day – So let’s take a trip down memory lane:

Count-a-rama, Name-a-rama (Welcome FNG Buffet), BOM

At coffee we got to chat with a falconeer! Prior to reaching out to Mr. Falconeer the PAX said that a flaconeer is one of the few jobs remaining from Mid-Evil times… it was funny as when we were chatting with Mr. Falconeer he said the same thing! To my disappointment no body tried to EH the falconeer. (Mr. Falconeer requested we not show his face as he did not want the pigeons to recognize him.)

Jack Donkey

12 strong, including 2 FNGs, make it out to Carmel High today and it was fun.

Disclaimer Given

We jumped right into and only paused for a few sips of water.

Run a lap. Circle up, 50 SSH, 40 Seal Jacks, 30 Plank Jacks, 20 Low (elbow) Plank Jacks, 10 Smurf Jacks

Run 2 laps, last man sprints with the last man doing 5 SSH before they catch up.

Line up on goal line, run to 30, 5 Mtn Climbers, run back to goal line and do 1 burpee. Increase burpees by 1. First person calls it.

Last man plank sprint – Line up shoulder to shoulder. Everyone holds plank. First person runs to end of plank line and planks. Do this from goal line to the 50.

Do the same on the way back to the goal line but PAX is doing SSHs.

Line up on goal line, bear crawl to 15, do 5 squats, crawl bear (shout out to Dirty Jobs) back to goal line and do 1 LBC. Repeat increasing LBC by one. First person to 10 LBCs calls it.

Circle up, on your own: 1 arm raise, 1 merkin. Repeat to 10/10. Then hold al gore. Question from FNG DRP … “That’s it, just an arm raise, no jumping or anything?” Oh the zeal of the FNGs… you have to admire it! Pick up the 6 at the end.
