On this day 73 years ago…Japan unconditionally surrendered to the USA, officially ending WWII. In honor of the sacrifice of a generation that is almost all gone, we performed this workout:
16 PAX in Attendance: WMD, SoccerMom, Creeper, MRSA, Shocker (F3Franklin), HushPuppy, Sterno, NumbTucks, RagDoll, CheezWiz,Nimbus 2000, ShowMe, Barney Fievel, Weasel, Tebow & 3rd Degree (QiC)
NumbTucks earned some Extra Credit this AM with a pre-party showing with YHC doing 10 burpees on the minute x 10 rounds. FooFighters was the BG Music. Shocker got him some from rounds 4-10. RESPECT!
Warm-Up:
- Indian Run Warm-up lap around the 1/3 mi track with Old Glory in the lead.
The Thang
BOMBS AWAY:
Partner up. While P1 runs the football field and Politicians back, P2 is performing AMRAP of the following exercises before flap-jacking.
- B: Burpees
- O: Over-head Press Squats (1 Squat and 1 over-head press at top)
- M: Mountain Climber Merkins
- B: Big Boy Sit ups (WWIIs)
- S: Scissor Lunges
Intermission with AMRAP Pull-ups x 3 rounds. If <10 pull-ups reached alone, partner assisted Pull-ups substituted until 10. Then back to the football field for another acronym.
- A: Angle Grinders (Look at the Lexicon)
- W: Wacky Jacks
- A: Alternating Shoulder Taps
- Y: Make a Y shape on the ground on your 6 holding partner’s legs while they throw your legs down x 73 times as a team (split however you want)
Mosey with Old Glory to the Bridge for my favorite: Bear-Crawl-Crawl-Bear the length for the win.
CoT:
- So thankful to live in the USA. We enjoy freedoms unheard of only 2-3 centuries ago. But freedom is never free. We honor and acknowledge that today.
- Thankful that F3Dads Camp was a huge success!
