Seeing as YHC will be heading off to (what he thought was) an F3 desert for vacation (until Hi Viz kindly informed him otherwise) for the next 10 days, I organized a workout that someone can accomplish on their own when the unfortunate occasion arises where there are no PAX to be found. You can think of it as a solo Dora — Dora the Explorer? We started at the playground, doing one exercise and then running around the traffic circle in between each set:
- 25 Pull-ups (run and repeat)
- 50 Merkins (run and repeat)
- 75 LBCs (run and repeat)
- 100 Squats (run and repeat)
Between each different type of exercise, PAX waited for the Six. After completing the above exercises, we moseyed back to the shovelflag and it was all she wrote
MOLESKIN
- The Merkin is the quintessential F3 Exercise. If we should be able to do anything right, it’s a Merkin. It’s always good to reflect on and be in tune with your own form throughout a workout, and we should all do our best to prevent letting our form slip. Speed is not the goal — proper form is the goal. If you have to take a pause in order to avoid compromising your form, do that. We collectively paused for a refresher on perfect form for the Merkin with the help of none other than Blue Mule showing us how to get it done. Don’t cut corners just to finish faster or to finish first — do it right, and you’ll get better that way.
BULLHORN
- Tclaps to PA for organizing The Scorpion (and whoever else worked behind the scenes in addition to Hi Viz) — it was a great event and we all got better!
- PA’s family is headed back from Aspen today, prayers for safe travels!
- Vector’s basketball team (the team which shall not be named) nearly lost in the Round of 32. He is sure to have had some palpitations during the game, let’s hope he’s alright.
- On this Coming Friday we have the 12th Man lunch. Cadre Belman will be sharing his Leadership lessons from his time as an Army Ranger, which includes the Battle of Mogadishu aka Black Hawk Down. HC now if you haven’t done so already: http://evite.me/MBdjxuDw2H
