7 HIM escaped the fartsack and made the right decision on a moist, squishy, and beautiful Thursday morning.
PAX: Bicentennial Man, Crablegs, DFrost, En Fuego, T-Cell, Trapper Keeper
QIC: Cunning Linguist
INTRO:
YHC welcomed all at 0530 and, after a verbose and ever-so-linguistic disclaimer, led PAX on a mosey around the track and toward the lower parking lot, where we paused for the WOR.
WOR:
20 x SSH
20 x Overhead Press
15 x LBACs
15 x rLBACs
12 x WMH
15 x SnL Squats
YHC then had PAX count off in twos and then led the PAX on a mosey toward Pizza Hut (aka the gazebo area) where we started on The Thang:
THE THANG:
B.O.M.B.S.
50 x Burpees
100 x Overhead Press
150 x Merkins
200 x Big Boy Sit Ups
250 x Squats
Plank upon completion while waiting for others.
1s performed the exercise while 2s ran around the Bob Ross-painted water tank thingy, followed by 2s performing the exercise while 1s ran around the thingy until all exercises were completed.
As we had some time to spare and we love the gazebo, YHC then called out Coyote Uglys, keeping the same partners in place.
Coyote Uglys
Wheelbarrow position for 1s, while 2s hold ankles of 1s.
1s move (using only their hands) from ground to bench of picnic table and perform Merkin.
1s then move to tabletop and perform Merkin.
1s then move back to bench and perform another Merkin.
1s then move to ground and perform yet another Merkin.
In other words, 4 Merkins = 1 Rep.
At 5 Reps, PAX switched partners.
Upon completion, we were all thoroughly exhausted (and at least one of us was *this* close to a Merlot Splash), but thankfully, we had a very short distance to run to get to our starting point and add three minutes of Mary to our lives.
MARY:
13 x Freddie Mercurys
13 x Alabama Prom Dates
13 x American Hammers
COT/BOM:
Reading of 2 Corinthians 4: 16
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.”
MOLESKINE:
Always a pleasure to lead the HIM of F3 Nashville. I am reminded with each Q I take that these men are truly amazing, and I am, quite frankly, humbled to be a part of such a great group of “high speed, low drag” men!
