They Don’t Get Easier, You Just Get Better

PAX: Boone’s Farm, Princess Aurora, Bicentennial Man, En Fuego (QIC)

Conditions: Hot & muggy; missing a good January gloom

5:30 AM: We mosey, where halfway into it YHC realizes no disclaimer was given.  Disclaimer given mid-mosey.   Head to the soccer field for…

Warmarama: SSH, LBAC, WMH and GM.  During GMs, YHC informs the PAX that tomorrow is QIC’s one-year F3 birthday and thanks the PAX for coming to kick off the birthday festivities.  In honor of that birthday celebration this week, we’re going back in time reliving a couple milestones, including YHC’s first Q, delivered 9 months ago at the friendly confines of The Skunk – and in doing so testing the old F3 adage that the “workouts don’t get easier, you just get better”.  With that, we begin a slightly modified (soon to be regretted) version of that first Q.

The Thang:  We celebrate the 2nd F of F3 and bring Fellowship to the forefront.  QIC informs the PAX that from this point forward everything we do we do in two’s – so we partner up.  Fireman carry to the end of the soccer field to commence the following:

Partner 1 begins suicide utilizing length of soccer field – 1/3rd, 2/3rd and full length with one burpee, two burpees, and three burpees at the respective stops.  Second F twist is that Partner 1 doesn’t stop facing Partner 2 throughout suicide, so half is performed running backwards.

Partner 2 commences the following, with partners flapjacking until the below is complete:

  • 100 Burpees
  • 100 Jump Squats
  • 100 Power Merkins (modified from merkins in initial Q; regret sets in)
  • 100 Iron Mikes (modified from lunges; further regret)
  • 100 BigBoy Situps (modified from LBCs; modifying now a foolish decision at this point)

We’re all in, completely drenched, and PA is now shirtless.  With the latter, our lady friend from senior housing appears – mumble chatter between her and PA ensues; no questions asked.  Fireman carry to center sideline, where Partner 1 wheelbarrows to midfield; switch partners for return trip and end with 5 irkins and 5 derkins.  That’s one set; r&r 3x – increasing to 10 count of each on the final set.

Final minutes comprised of mixture of pull ups and sprints with Mary’s baked in.   Time.

COT:

  1. TN CAN Ruck this Saturday – reach out to PA for details.
  2. Prayers for Reveille’s cousin and brother; Bicentennial’s mom

As always, great effort by the PAX – appreciate you coming out to the party today and certainly thankful for the fellowship and accountability you’ve provided over the last 12 months.
