VJ-Day at Broken Wheel

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!
  • Make sure to sign up for Q slots for F3 Nolensville on F3nashville.com under Q Sign up (created a link in this sentence) or 3D will take them all!
  • 3rd F opportunity to meet at F3Franklin Nantan’s house (Tortoise) to pray for Spicoli as he battles cancer. Tweet or Slack 3D for deets.
  • Speaking of Slack, get on it! Besides Twitter, it is the main source of Mumble-Chatter and hilarity (as well as plans for 2nd and 3rd F events) Here is the link again: https://join.slack.com/t/f3nashville/shared_invite/enQtMzUxNzQ3NzE5NDg5LTU1YjI4MTFlZjA1MGFkY2QzYmFjMWNlYzE5YWQ5MzZhZjc5NjgyMzNhMWZkNGQ5YTc3N2NmMmFmZGY2NjRhZTk
  • Come support HushPuppy as he has his VQ/Co-Q with Barney Fievel at The Forge Saturday.

Love getting to lead these HIMs.

Until next time,

3D, out!
