5 HIM came out into the gloom to celebrate Christmas Eve (Pre-party with The Jeweler and Porcelain).
PAX: T-cell, Crawl Space (LIFO), The Jeweler, Porcelain, Vector (QIC)
Conditions: Freezing fog and 29 degrees – in other words, perfect
Warm-o-rama: SSH x 12, Willy Mayes Hayes x 12, LBAC x 12, Overhead Presses x 12, Reverse LBAC x 12, Good Mornin’s x 12. Crawl Space pulling into parking lot necessitated an extra 12 Merkins so he could catch up to the PAX.
In celebration of the holidays (and perhaps to fondly recall PA’s recent Q at Bomber?) the PAX performed the 12 Tasks of F3-mas. Increasing in reps, the PAX partnered up and could not move on to the next stage until all were finished (Keeping the F2 principle alive). Of course, all accompanied by the requisite Vector Cheesy Playlist (patent pending), holiday themed, of course.
Playlist:
Mr. Heat Miser – Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree – Brenda Lee
Last Christmas – Jimmy Eat World
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) – U2
Christmas in Hollis – Run-DMC
Christmas in Sarajevo – Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Christmas Wrapping – The Waitresses
Feliz Navidad – Jose Feliciano
Santa Stole My Lady – Fitz and the Tantrums
Wonderful Christmastime – The Shins
The Tasks: After completing each task, run with partner around the traffic circle (although once YHC realized that we’d only performed 3 tasks and had 25 minutes to go, we abandoned the laps – had nothing to do with my distaste for running, of course).
10 Burpees
20 V-Ups
30 Lt Dans
40 Pull Ups
50 Merkins
60 Dips
70 Incline Merkins
80 Jump Squats
90 Little Baby Crunches
100 Plank Jacks
110 SSH
120 Squats
Mosey back to flag to end the fun.
COT: Prayers for my father-in-law (has early stage dementia) and thanks for the holiday season. Especially thanks to the men today for the opportunity to lead and get better each day.
SYITG,
