The third running of The Buffalo went as follows:
PAX: Vegemite, Hot Route, CCR, Pocket Chicken, Ed Hocules (FNG), Brother at Law.
Conditions: Warm. Humid. Thick.
Mosey around the block up to 19th and back to the parking lot for some WOR. SSH x20; GM x10; WMH x10; LBAC x10; RLBAC x10.
Thang: Mosey to the big hill on Shelby Ave as it meanders into the park. Stop at the jungle gym on the way for 5 pull ups for good measure. Once we get to the hill, a round of 7’s with Carolina Dry Docks at the top and jump squats at the bottom. First time doing anything on that hill and it’s a monster. More to come in future weeks.
Mosey to tennis court. Burpee broad jump baseline of court, then Lt. Dan the long-side (alleys). Make your way all the around the court. Plank and wait for the six.
Partner up for some Suicide Dora 123’s using the alleys with merkins, LBC’s, squats.
Mosey back to playground and benches for 4 four rounds of: 30 second box jumps on picnic benches followed by 5 pull ups.
6MOM: Some high plank, some american hammers, some flutter kicks, then some high plank.
Time.
Announcements: Great to have FNG (Ed) Hocules (aspiring football referee that also has muscular arms) combined with Hercules because why not. He rolled up on his bike and noted on his way out that next time he would drive. It appears he may have underestimated the workout. Let’s keep those FNG’s coming! Hocules was my friend but we’ve had a good steady stream of new guys. Let me know if you know guys in East that could benefit from F3!
Discussed new 4:13 class going through mental toughness week and starting week of 5/20.
Memorial Day CSAUP at Concord Road YMCA from 5-8 am. Join for any hour block that works for you. Chicken Pocket, Hot Route, and YHC will likely be with our wives and children at SLAM in Shelby Park, where our M’s workout, because husbands are invited on federal holidays. Let me know if you’re interested. Kids are not only welcomed, but encouraged.
Prayers offered up for Sinclair family and discussion on ways to chip in.
I offered some thoughts on how it’s been a stressful couple of weeks but how important perspective is and how blessed I am.
