The setting was a high 40s soggy kind of morning. Hail State called YHC at 5:18am wondering where everyone was. After some reassurance, he led himself in a stretch and reflect session until the rest of the PAX arrived. Props to PA for rucking from Sylvan park and back. 5:30am brought everyone 10 OYO burpees and a medium mosey over to a nice grassy circle area for some

THE THANG
PAX line up shoulder to shoulder with the goal of performing 100 solid Atomic Merkins. The only rule is that you cannot rest in place. AMRAP on side 1, sprint (ish) through the muck to the other side of the Parthenon, AMRAP, back to side 1, you get the picture. This sucked. My AMRAPS were pretty weak toward the end. We finished off with 25 flutter kicks IC and then we were off on a mosey to my favorite part of the park.
PAX again line up shoulder to shoulder at the bottom of the (we need to come up with a name for this) for some escaltor suicides. PAX run to the first sidewalk, perform 10 burpees and run back. PAX run to second sidewalk, perform 20 jump squats and run back. PAX run to third sidewalk, perform 30 Mountain Merkins and run back. Finally, PAX run to the top of the hill, perform 40 WWI situps and run back. Various exercise for the 6. Crawfish requested SSH (which is what I originally said, so we did). With just a few minutes to spare, we came back down the escalator with 30 jump lunges (60 total jumps for those who were counting…Hambone), 20 regular old merkins and 10 burpees. Flutter kicks and American Hammers for the 6.
MARY
Not much time for mary, so we did 31 flutter kicks IC, 10 J-Los IC and that was that.
COT/BOM
Welcome to FNG Butch, Please! He just took a job in Nashville and relocated from Knoxville. Keep an eye out for him and welcome him to the PAX.
BULLHORN
Look out for details on the upcoming “Grow School”. It will be a Saturday convergence followed by breakfast and some wisdom, Q&A and discussion regarding how to best move F3 forward in Nashville, Franklin, The ‘Boro, etc…
MOLESKINE
Very glad that my daughter’s erratic sleep schedule led me to sign up for the Q yesterday. It is great to be with a fresh group of guys and see life outside the Shire. Let’s go get that Q calendar filled up for the next couple weeks. There are plenty of guys willing to co-Q, so reach out and do it. You wont regret it!
Until next time,
CCR
