17 PAX consisted of Altidore, Stats, 3rd Degree, Kermit, Ragdoll, Sterno, Typo+, Best Balls, Little Miss Piggy, Cheese Whiz, Show Me, Numbtucks, Staples, Creeper, Nimbus1075, Old Hickory, & Tebow (QiC).
3rd Degree led a solo pre-party of Bearway to Heaven (I wasn’t there, so I cannot confirm whether it was Led Zeppelin or a Led Zeppelin cover band version of Stairway to Heaven) before Stats joined in mid-way.
We got warmed up with a quick jog/shuffle/politician into SSH, BACs, pause merkins, GMs, pause squats, calf/lunge stretch, more squats, burpees, skaters, and a quick demo of Hillary* merkins
(*hand release clap = HRC = Hillary Rodham Clinton = Hillary)
Props to the banged up Numbtucks for hanging out and doing some pilates/PT in the parking lot while we did our thing. We covered some NHS/Summerlyn real estate; It went like this:
– Parking Lot Tabata: (skaters, tuck jumps) x 2, (AHs, MCs) x 2
– Indian (aka upside down kingdom) Trail Run w/ speed bumps: 10 Hillary merks + 15 jump squats at each bump
– 10 burpees + 10 lungees then, w/ partner,
– 3 min AMRAP of lateral hop x 20 over partner in plank, switch
– Soccer Field Leg Circuit: 4 iron mikes, 4 jump squats, 4 broad jumps (advance the width of the field)
– Playground 3 min AMRAP w/ partner: (T2b + pull up) x 5 (scale: 10 underdoggies) while partner does Al Gore, switch
– Copenhagens x 30
– Soccer Field Leg Circuit (half of field width)
– reunite with Numbtucks for a final Parking Lot Tabata: wide merks, V-ups, diamond merks, AHs, merks, V-ups, MCs, tuck jumps
Finally, some flutter kicks with the remaining seconds finished up our hour.
Post-Party action was a politically inspired “Democratic Convention” of 5-1 Hillarys, w/ 30 yd politicians in between.
Great work by everyone. One confession – I skipped over more planned burpees due to what seemed like merlot from Cheese Whiz mid workout. After the workout he claimed it was phlegm. Not sure if I believe him, but assuming he’s not lying, I then kinda felt like the way you feel when you leave a birdie putt short…what could’ve been…Sorry, guys. We’ll make up for the lost burpees next time. A fired up Show me coined a new name for Indian Run – Upside Down Kingdom run – in a way that only Show Me can. Good work, Show Me.
Let this date, 3/2/19, be known as the day that E&B finally opened after weeks, months, years of anticipation. Look out 2nd F
!CONVERGENCE! with F3Franklin !THIS SATURDAY!, 3/9/19, 0600-0730 @ Pinkerton Park. Let’s show up strong and have some fun with our brethren down in Franklin. Word is they’re a little rough around the edges, and they may not shower and brush as often as is standard, but they’re good people, too. See y’all at Broken Wheel,
