Line in the sand

Leave a comment

We drew a line in the sand today and crossed it a bunch of times. It was cold for an April morning at home, but at the beach it was beautiful. Micro-climates at its best.

Warm Up:
LBCs
Tea Pots
Cherry Pickers

The Thang:
Mosey to a the line in the sand that had a nice F3 logo drawn in it. Though some could not tell it was the F3 logo. Sand art… not my specialty I guess.
Do 15 Rowers, run to other line in the sand, mosey back to pick up the six, cross the other line in the sand together
No do 15 Mike Tysons and run back to the other line in the sand and pick up the six. Repeat for 10 minutes.
Now do same thing but reduce reps to 10. Repeat for 10 minuts.
Again do same thing but reduce reps to 5. Repeat for 10 minutes.

Mosey to the wall for wall sits, planks and mumble chatter.

Count & Name-o-rama

We chatted a bit about Q source.:
King – exercise (to prepare for not just the expected but the unexpected)
Queen – diet (“You can’t out king your queen”)
Jester – The Jester is the temptation of the flesh that hinders Acceleration. It is that one stumbling block (amongst the many available) that a man finds himself tripping over repeatedly before he turns Pro. No matter how strong his Routines are that support his King and Queen, if he fails to Prepare for his Jester he will not be able to Get Right. Unimpeded, the Jester will undo his hard work and destroy his proper personal alignment.  

Do you know what your jester is?  Identifying it can help you prepare for the Jester as Preparedness keeps the Jester at bay

Leaving Early: The Unknown FNG

Leave a comment

11 strong 💪 this morning including FNG Stone Cold. Weather was amazing. The field this time was not frozen solid or even damp like in prior winter beatdowns. Spring is here and we are going to love it.

This was a new one for us. And one we could have done better at addressing. We had an FNG today leave mid-workout. We were doing laps on the track and no one was near him and he just left. Next time this happens one of us will try to catch up with the FNG to chat with them.

Disclaimer given.

Run Lap
10 Tea Pot
20 Moroccan Night Clubs
30 Seal Jacks
40 on you side – leg things… 20 each side
50 LBCs 
Run Lap

Bear crawl to center field & Circle up

In Cadence – Q starts – count goes to the right.  Once you reach the end of your rope do a lap. Two ways to end it all:  One person is left doing exercise or if the 3rd to last person returns from their lap (IE there are two left) it’s over.  Call recover.  Pax coming back can mumble chatter, cheer on other pax, plank, al gore… etc.

Hello Dolly
Groiners
Gorilla Humpers
Wheel of Merkins

Looking for Psyc – Round 2

Leave a comment

6 strong 💪 this morning went for a run to the aquarium. Weather was beautiful – 40’s but was not cold at all. A lot of people out running on the trail and we joined them. Warm-up was quick, and Grappler came in hot at the end of the warmup to join us for the run. Pace to the aquarium was faster than the last time we did this. We got to the aquarium at 618am did some squats and took off back for the AO. It was great.

Warmup:
Sun Gods
Tea Pots
Cherry Pickers

The thang:
Run to aquarium
Stop a few times for some SSH
Stop to check out the inspiration for the F3 Monterey logo
At aquarium check out where the RV rammed the wall (it’s boarded up now.)
Squats IC with some Al Gores
Run back to beach
Wall sits and planks
Mosey back to AO start, LBCs to finish it up

7 strong 💪 this morning. Great weather. 50 degrees or so. Sun is coming up quick these days so most of the beatdown is done in daylight. Fishing boats were out well before us – lights blasting the bay as they gathered their take.

Warmup
1 Merkin
10 IW
2 Merkin
Abe Vigodas
3 Merkins
Hill Billies

5 Merkins
Am. Hammers
6 Merkins
LBCs
7 Merkins
Cherry Pickers
8 Merkins
Moroccon Night Clubs
9 Merkins
SSH
10 Merkins

All that in 10 minutes. YHC yelled out that’s 155 pushups in 10 minutes to which Sharkbait corrected me that is was actually 110. As Dredd said in the hit documentary “300” produced by YHC and edited in part by Burgundy, Sharkbait is a merkin master so no pulling the wool over his eyes on the merkin count!

Mosey to lot:

  • Bear Crawl, 20 groiners, bear crawl back, plank /Pick up Six
  • Crab Walk, 30 groiners, bear crawl back, plank /Pick up Six
  • Crawl Bear, 40 groiners, bear crawl back, plank /Pick up Six

YHC didn’t have anything else planned except 6 minutes of mary but there was now 20 minutes left! What to do!?!?!?!

Mosey to wall. 20 dips, 15 dips, 5 dips & 20 box jumps

Mosey to beach – run back to home but along the way to 10 catcher burpees OYO

6 MOM was actually 10.

Count / Name / COT

Something new planned for Saturday… hint it is a Hampton Roads tradition.
